... being a nitpick, itīs less absurd than it might seem. I mean, prostate cancer is really common, and hormone driven. Old school way of addressing this was castration. Nowadays people get testosterone inhibitors

Plus you can appoint a lunatic as your court doctor and he’ll try to cure your food poisoning by chopping off a limb/face/balls
It's worth mentioning that castration is apparently a foolproof solution to heal any disease known to man.
Try my new impotence cure!

But then again, the only DLC I really don't like is... Whatever the Lifestyle Focus one was called. And also the Child Education Overhaul part of whatever DLC that was part of.
I don't hate lifestyle focii, but I do share your dislike for the education overhaul. It's less immersive, equally tedious, and adds nothing.

On second thought, it seems this campaign does not feature a Zoroastrian revival, but a Zun dawning of power, of all thing. During me playing today, the Zunbils gobbled up several of the tinier zoroastrian duchies and counties and a few Muslim remainders and now control all of Sistan and a little bit of Persia Kingdom (Kermit, or something?), while the Zoroastrians was practically forced out of their Kingdom of Daylam by independent, non-Abbassid Muslims.

The reason I don't like them is that they took events and decisions that was previously available to everyone and made you have to have the focus to get them, in case you're wondering.

I don't see an inherent problem with that, though. The amount of events available to a character has increased since launch a lot. Making some interesting and elaborate events conditional, and therefore rarer in practice, means that they're more special when they happen. It prevents the shine from wearing off and increases replayability.

I don't think "let's hold a great hunt" should be limited to people with a lunatic interest in hunting.

Lets hope they can get their stuff together.  AI, aggression, levy count, monies, and such.  They may just be passive blobs like mali is now or fodder for either the italian scourge or the supply iv assiblob.

As stagnant new continent is hardly one at all...

If only they had some mechanics simulating the attempts to control the trans-Saharan gold/slave/salt trade & the spread of Islam along merchant caravans. Have a potential one time event where a random Malian Emperor floods the game with gold and ruins the economy

They do have the new Sub-saharan trade route! And the special buildings you can build on it in specific locations, gold in particular. The route has very low value by itself, but can be massively boosted by the unique buildings.

Unless that was sarcasm and I missed it.

Oh, no not at all, I had no idea they added a new trade route. I've been out of the loop for the last few months

I don't think they have an event for Mansa Munsa though. It'd just call attention to the fact that CK2 doesn't simulate market forces or inflation in any way shape or form.
