• Crusader Kings II Ruler Designer - customize the appearance of your king, to ensure that if they ever make money with his face on it, it looks good.
• Legacy of Rome - they don’t call complex situations “byzantine” for nothing. Constantinople and the last Caesars bring you new gameplay options and decisions.
• Sword of Islam - you can’t have a crusade with only one side. Play any of the sheikhs and caliphs that contest control of the Holy City, with new religious and political mechanics.
• The Old Gods - travel back in time to the days of Viking longboats and pagan dominance in the Baltic. How long can you resist the pull of Christianity? Raiding, looting and adventuring.

Newcomers to Crusader Kings II should not go to war empty-handed. This starter pack gathers all the essential content players need in one handy bundle. With this pack, you will have access to every Christian, Pagan and Muslim realm in Europe and the Mediterranean, as well as a key role-playing expansion that brings the intricacies of courtly drama alive on your screen.

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.
