The player can start as anyone from a lowly baron to a king or emperor, but the goal is the same: get as much prestige and money as you can, no matter how you do it. As a ruler, you'll have vassals, courtiers, and advisors who can help you accomplish this, though staying in the good graces of your superiors, your inferiors, AND your neighbors is still no easy task. Crusader Kings 2 prides itself on its complexity and detail, most notably the in-depth system of feudalism present in the game. This is the core essence of the game's concept: arranged marriages, childbirth, and succession are incredibly important, giving you social links, alliances, potential...

There are so many options and random events, that its a bit like a story generator. You control the choices, but fate can intervene. Spend 15 years training your heir with the best of the best, set your laws so he alone inherits your kingdom (which caused a civil war you put down) and he turns out to be Alexanderian, (gay never sires an heir, dies young in battle). Then the mousey little walflower sister back stabs her older brother, rises to the throne, adds a dutchey and rules for 40 years.Decide to get a little strange on the side, bam pregnant with a bastard. Now you must deal with the consequences. Should I legitmize the kid for a backup heir? Ship him off to the clergy? Will the mother try to kill the real heir? Do I really have to execute the strange to keep her from plotting murder for the fourth time? My spiritual advisor has aparently created his own religion. I can back him... Read more |
