Description

The Dark Ages might be drawing to a close, but Europe is still in turmoil. Petty lords vie against beleaguered kings who struggle to assert control over their fragmented realms. The Pope calls for a Crusade to protect the Christians in the Holy Land even as he refuses to relinquish control over the investiture of bishops - and their riches. Now is the time for greatness. Expand your demesne and secure the future of your dynasty. Fill your coffers, appoint vassals, root out traitors and heretics, introduce laws and interact with hundreds of nobles, each with their own agenda.
A good lord will always need friends to support him. But beware, as loyal vassals can quickly turn to bitter rivals, and some might not be as reliable as they seem... Stand ready, and increase your prestige until the world whispers your name in awe. Do you have what it takes to become a Crusader King?
Crusader Kings II explores one of the defining periods in world history in an experience crafted by the masters of Grand Strategy. Medieval Europe is brought to life in this epic game of knights, schemes, and thrones...

  • Start a game at any point between 1066 and 1337 and play until 1453

Crusader Kings II is one of the deepest and most unique grand strategy games ever made. It’s not just about winning wars or expanding territory, but about building and managing a dynasty across generations. The gameplay

$237.77 to complete my collection for a game made IN 2012! That is FOURTEEN years ago, closer to the date of the very beginning of this franchise in 2004 than today. I have barely played the base game in anticipation of

Czech Review (hodnoceno čistě kvůli AGOT módu) Vanilla Crusader Kings II? Jo dobrý. Ale jakmile nainstalujete AGOT mod… tak už neexistuje návrat do reality. Tohle není mod. Tohle je regulérně nejlepší Game of Thrones

Where is it? Where’s the rest? The content, Paradox, where is the rest? Paradox? WHERE IS THE CONTENT?! It is locked behind 250 euro tag. But when you, uhm, obtain the DLCs, some, perhaps, other way. It is quite good
