Master Your Dynasty in Crusader Kings II: Royal Collection
The Dark Ages may be drawing to a close, but Europe remains in a state of absolute turmoil. In Crusader Kings II: Royal Collection, you step into a world where petty lords vie against beleaguered kings struggling to assert control over fragmented realms. As the Pope calls for Crusades to protect the Holy Land while simultaneously clashing with secular powers over the investiture of bishops, the stage is set for unprecedented greatness. This is your moment to expand your demesne, fill your coffers, and secure the eternal future of your dynasty.
A Grand Strategy Experience Like No Other
Developed by the masters of the genre, Paradox Development Studio, Crusader Kings II: Royal Collection is a deep grand strategy simulation that blends historical politics with character-driven RPG elements.
