It fills its world with characters, gives them all personality traits, then relationships with one another, and all this is transparent for players to see.

However, several expansions have started the game hundreds of years earlier, and also make Vikings, Muslims, and even the Indian sub-continent playable.
Its original chronology took place between Norman invasion of England in 1066 and the fall of Byzantium in 1453. Why’s that?Ĭrusader Kings 2 is a slow-paced strategy game, where you control the dynastic head of a family in medieval Europe, from lowly count to Holy Roman Emperor. I even saw a presentation by its lead designer where he lamented the fact that the Game Of Thrones name was taken, since it was perfect for his game of politics, backstabbing, arranged marriages, and war. There’s no video game better at exploring the game of feudalism than Crusader Kings 2 from Paradox Interactive. For example, Robb Stark cannot declare for the Iron Throne at the start of the War Of The Five Kings, because the Starks have no claim to the throne, so instead he declares independence, which ends up making his war strategically muddled, leading indirectly to his downfall. The feudal system of Westeros, where lords have autonomy and their own armies but are supposed to follow the laws of the king, contains its own rules and wiggle room. For example: strategic games are built around rules and constraints, highlighting what choices the players can make by restriction what they can’t.
