Actually, I haven't played CK2 in so long that I should probably take a bit of a refresher...

I've been getting the itch to fire up another campaign, too.  There have been multiple updates since I last played (I watch to see what gets updated when I eventually log in to Steam) so I'm guessing that they patched the patch that foogered some stuff up a few months ago.   ;D 

I'd also like to play some Muslim leader in the xpac, but not sure if I can purchase that for my Beta Tester freebie version, since it's titled differently on Steam (although the versions are now the same).  Steam has already plastered me with an advert for the Islam DLC, so perhaps it's active for this one too.  Yes, that's why I have the Steam version and not the GG version - had to for beta.  :-\  I'll probably purchase a retail version from GG when they have a sale later in the future.

some more info on CK2: Sword of Islam from RPS:

...and this little tidbit "Thanks for the interview! I am happy to report that Crusader Kings II is still doing very well and the future looks bright. We have planned the next four expansions in some detail, and I think people will be pleased with the subject matters!"

I know! It will be a battle for my soul between Civ V, CKII and that Real Warfare Teutonic game. I have been trying to break my addiction to medieval themed games but good ones keep coming out. Bastards.

Civ V has been eating my face. I literally stayed up to 4:00 am to play it two nights in a row. Not helpful when I need to course prep and read textbooks the next day!

does Sword of islam do anything to the base game if im not interested in the Muslims other than mashing them with the King of Leon?

I absolutely love Crusader Kings 2, almost more than EU3 (almost...). I may pass on this DLC for a future one, if they ever address playing as Orthodox. I find playing within the BE to be the most enjoyable. I'm currently waging an insurgency against the Golden Horde after they destroyed the Kingdom of Rus (and thus most of my Russian inheritance).

Sword of Islam is available on Gamersgate (don't see it on Steam yet).  Also two more DLCs: African Unit Pack and Songs of the Caliph...

p.s./fyi:  apparently the GG's version of Sword of Islam only works with the GG's version of Crusader Kings II
