It would be ahistorical, yes, but you'd be going back so far in time in CK3 (presumably going back as far as the Charlemagne DLC?) that the theology of marriage would still be poorly developed.

OK
I think I'll be able to mod the Aztecs back in, if that's a thing anyone actually likes. Supernatural stuff...there's no way it's not gonna be in like, the first update. Deus Vult can, again, be modded back in. The only issue is that, and it's not the biggest deal, but I expect it'll eventually be patched in, as the devs can't get everything all at once, can they?

They absolutely could if Paradox would stop releasing games in a pre-alpha state. EU4's metascore probably would be ten points higher if they had waited six months and released 1.8 as 1.0.

What worries me is that Imperator's awful launch, rather than teaching them that they need to actually release games instead of pre-alpha tech demos, instead was so much of a loss financially (compared to CK2, EU4, and Stellaris at least) that they're going to rush to release a pre-alpha CK3 in order to get the revenue stream back up. Especially considering CK2 is now f2p.

I mean, if you can make your own religion, why not same-sex marriage in that religion?

Because it's not a true Lesbarchy until your Queer Queens can get themselves their own Queer Queens as wives.

DUH

Sheesh, it's like some people don't understand what a Lesbarchy is... :roll:
