In such a case, we may summon the person in question, and tell him or her to mind their tongue. He tries to dismantle schemes against his liege, report about the circling rumors and find the ones who spread them. In these hard times, a court spymaster proves to be of great importance. Thus, as a ruler, we cannot really trust anyone.
It may happen that a subject who’s been loyal so far, betrays us because his wife persuaded him to do that. The role of women is also greatly extended. The enhancement of the psychological aspect of characters is an important part of the game, and as a result, even a family member may stab us in the back.
In provinces, there are barons (or a few, if the province is rich enough), each having his own personality and ambitions. GameplayĬompared to the first Crusader Kings, there are lots of novelties that significantly improve the overall game experience. The action of the game starts in 1066 and allows the players to assume the role of a Christian noble (duke, prince, emperor or king) whose task is to lead his dynasty through the chaotic times of the European middle ages. Just like its predecessor, this title also adapts the Europa Universalis gameplay mechanics, although adjusted to the medieval reality. Crusader Kings II for PC is a sequel to the popular grand strategy game by Paradox Interactive.
