Paradox didn’t leave out Crusader Kings 2 at their fan event in Gamescom, announcing a new DLC for that game as well. This add-on will be all about the “Father of Europe,” Emperor Charlemagne.
Crusader Kings II is a game that, at the time of writing, is three years old. Yet we are still seeing expansion after expansion for the game, and thanks to a number of steam and humble bundle sales the player base is still growing. The number one question I get asked is, how do you actually play it? Well, here are my Top 5 Tips for getting started in Crusader Kings II.
With 100 years of gameplay added, if you needed a reason to play Crusader Kings II again, this is it!
It’s unusual for Paradox to name a grand strategy expansion after one single historical figure. But then, Charlemagne is arguably the single most influential person in European history. The lands he formed under the Frankish, then Holy Roman, banners laid the foundation for the Europe we know today and his impact on law, religion and culture is second only to the Romans themselves. So while Crusader Kings II: The Dark Ages sounds pretty good, it’s understandable that Paradox went with Crusader Kings II: Charlemagne, he was essentially an era unto himself.
