It’s been difficult to tear myself away, and it might very well be Crusader Kings II‘s best expansion yet - it’s certainly the largest.Ĭrusader Kings II: The Old Gods (Mac, PC )Ĩ67AD, almost two hundred years before the Battle of Stamford Bridge and the Norse and Norman invasions of England - initially the earliest starting point in Crusader Kings II - and the pagans are restless. Not merely a Viking expansion, however, The Old Gods introduces playable pagan dynasties all over the map and a slew of tweaks, improvements and new additions. With The Old Gods expansion, I’ve finally been able to do exactly this. But what I really wanted, right from the beginning, was to troll medieval Europe with a fleet of Viking longships. What started of as a vast grand strategy game where players could take the reins of a Christian noble dynasty now contains playable Islamic dynasties and merchant republics, a fictional Aztec invasion, and the ability to carve out empires, and that’s all great. Over the last year and - almost - a half, Crusader Kings IIhas grown considerably.
