Since its release, various DLCs and patches have improved the game. There is no rigid historical determinism in terms of the expansion and fall of kingdoms in the game, except for precisely defined rules in interpersonal feudal relations that form the core of the game. You start the game by dialing an arbitrary date between 1066-1337 AD, and ending in 1453 – which is the date of the historic fall of Constantinople. After nearly 8 years of coding, Paradox Interactive announced in February 2012 that a new Crusader Kings game was coming out and that all the mistakes from the first part were corrected.Ĭrusader Kings II is a grand strategy in which you take on the role of rulers in medieval Europe and Asia Minor. The first Crusader Kings was released in 2004, in a rather dysfunctional state, but clearly having a lot of potential. This expansion brings a host of changes in the game, from new portraits of rulers to new options for your rulers and great new background music. Paradox Interactive has just released its 15 th DLC (an expansion) for Crusader Kings 2, called Holy Fury.
