Crusader Kings II introduces players to one of the most important periods in world history thanks to the work of true masters of the global strategy genre. Medieval Europe comes to life in this epic game of knights, intrigue and thrones...

Although the dark ages of the Middle Ages are drawing to a close, Europe is still plunged into chaos. Petty feudal lords confront kings besieged from all sides, trying to regain control over their fragmented states. The pope is assembling a crusade to protect Christians in the Holy Land, while not intending to let go of control over the elevation to the bishopric - as well as over their wealth. It´s time for greatness. Expand your holdings and secure the future of your dynasty. Stuff your chests, appoint vassals, seek out traitors and heretics, legislate and interact with hundreds of nobles, each with their own cunning plan.

A good ruler will always need friends to support him. But be careful - even loyal vassals may have their own ambitions, and some of them may not be as reliable as they seemed ... Be prepared for anything and increase your prestige until the world begins to pronounce your name in a reverent whisper. Do you have the makings of a Crusader King?
