I've decided to write a mini guide on how to play pagan.ġ) Pick something to play. The process of becoming pagan is not as hard either but might require some paitence, and converting your populace to paganism and staying on the throne is the hardest part. The truth is you do not need mods or cheats in order to play as pagans or muslim, but I have to warn you, it is not easy being pagan in a Christian world. So I have seen an increase in frustration because people want to play pagan or muslim and can't. This guide, however, would still be useful if you do have the DLC but do not wish to play any of the existing Sunni or Shia lords present in the game.Īlso, with the upcoming The Old Gods DLC, pagan rulers will be playable, but again via purchase only.
Attempting to use this guide, or even via cheats or modding without the DLC which would result in a GAME OVER once the game transitions to your new Islamic heir. UPDATE: Take note that as of Patch 1.06, Muslims are only playable via the Sword of Islam DLC.
