Paradox Interactive has issued a new patch for
Crusader Kings II, adding Nahua culture and Aztec religion, and optimized succession calculation, which could cause massive slowdowns in big dynasties with many landed members. Also, you can now forbid your council from leading armies and intrigue plots vs barons or their courtiers can now include their liege's courtiers and other vassals (thanks:
The Patches Scrolls). A playable demo can be found
here.
