FORGE A DYNASTY TO RULE A KINGDOM

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...

1st!

BRING ABOUT THIS GAME ALREADY!

JUST HAVE MY MONEY! :)

[hansnery]

2nd! Give us the ability to influence in the middle of the battle!

PS: It looks great already.

[MrSierra125]

@CyrustheVirus1234 Go buy TW games, their better for combat, but Paradox is way better for empire building.

[pokemontrainer521]

@CyrustheVirus1234 What,have you never seen a Paradox strategy game?Combat in all of them is like that.

[CyrustheVirus1234]

THIS is the combat in this game? FUCK that. I thought this was going to be like medieval where the politics and stuff were great but you actually could command your army in the field as well. This is lame. No money from me.

[NordicStormtrooper]

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!

[GadgetGearup]

@hansnery ya let us have commands like in superpower 2 such as full assault!

[kid29a]

@xSarpedon Yes! Paradoxy strategy combined with Mount & Blade battles! *sigh*

[mattaki]

paradox is the dream game company for people who love european history. i wouldn't play video games if it weren't for paradox.

@zakmackay

As said previously, I hope next gen games can handle this. We could do way much more if the gaming industry didn't deem us computer gamers as a dead wish. Plus you don't have to control the king, but it would make sense since you ARE the king, and overall just watching the battles take place would be awesome.

[ericon52168]

@stigblue they want to get rid of their "the game is only playable after a couple of patches" BB points, i mean reputation.

im all for longer dev

[zakmackay]

@xSarpedon that would be to hard. That would completely change the game and not what the game is focused on.
