When Crusader Kings II came out, I thought it was an oversight that you couldn&#8217;t play Muslim dynasties in a game about the Crusades.  But it turns out Paradox wanted to either a) take time to do it right because the systems in place to game European dynasties wouldn&#8217;t be a satisfying representation of medieval Islam, or b) make money from DLC.  Probably a little of both.  And frankly, given that they&#8217;re right about a) and given the quality of most of their DLC, I can&#8217;t complain.<\/p>\n<p>In the list of main features, alongside things like the new decadence concept for Muslim rulers, more countries, culture specific interface elements, the addition of Shia and Sunni Islam, and reworked combat, you&#8217;ll find this:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Wife wants to become first wife<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>That&#8217;s a &#8220;main feature&#8221;.
