So what's this bearstuff, if your char isn't insane?

Some kind of identity politics stuff? I identify as a cat, so therefore I am one?

IIRC, there's once was a joke about Secret Bear DLC, where your character was killed and replaced by a bear. So there comes Jade Dragon and adds an event about one of your siblings actually being a bear all his/her life. It's a Sir Bearington reference, if you have guessed.

Jade Dragon also added cat spymasters for insane characters, so you can have more animal friends besides Glitterhoof and Sir Bearington.

Becoming Samrat Chakravartin was seriously underwhelming.

Is uniting India as dharmic just a grind?

Yeah, India is ultra boring.

To give their marketers a tool of distraction when necessary, Paradox relies on unfunny jokes which apparently play well with a certain portion of the audience (the "arrow to the knee" crowd) and humanize then. They got a bit carried away with one of those jokes, and actually implemented it.

The problem is that it's far too stable due to the cb limitations the indian religions have on each other.

[umiman]

I definitely remember ranting a lot about India before on here but I can't find it. Oh well.

Getting Samrat Chakravartin was definitely super boring. It's worse than the 7 centuries one I think.

Basically.

Don’t even get any special pop-ups saying how awesome you are, everything just goes orange and you lose 2 empire titles and wonder what you’re going to do with yourself for the last 3 centuries.

Not even sure I can get the ‘chievo for holding Rajastan and Persia since Rajastan doesn’t exist anymore.

Just have to smash the Byzantines for Constantinople and the pope for Rome to convert them to a dharmic religion, which is made significantly easier with societies... maybe get over to Britain somehow.

I went into the files. Rajastan still exists, though it may have been renamed in the localisation. It contains the kingdoms of Sindh, Punjab, Delhi, Gujarat, Rajputana, and Malwa. So go for the one that has those kingdoms in it.

[USEC_OFFICER]

I think he's talking about how Rajastan was destroyed permanently as a result of getting the Samrat Chakravartin achievement. It's a natural result of merging the three empires together.

Ah, I misunderstood. In that case yeah, you're screwed.

[Cruxador]

If you take Persia, it would be reasonable to just give yourself that achievement anyway.

[USEC_OFFICER]

Good news. I checked the files and you can get the achievement with the Empire of India instead of Rajastan. Apparently Paradox fixed that particular problem a while back after people complained enough about it.

[hector13]

Fair enough, cheers lads.

Should probably have checked that prior to making the Abassids a tributary. Ah well.

So, I've checked out When The World Stopped Making Sense mod, and there was a FUCKING BUBONIC PLAGUE IN THE 470s! I miraculously survived, but my not-very-smart heir also survived. I had to imprison and sacrifice him.
Other highlights include:
Since I was playing as Saxony, which holds 2 of the Germanic holy sites, I was able to snatch a third one in Scandinavia pretty quickly in order to reform.
I exploited migration CB, where I would white peace immediately and keep my migration troops for raiding/warring.
I seduced a lot of ladies. All of them died from plague or other diseases.
My futile try to plot to kidnap my dumb sonny.
