Get Crusader Kings II for PC

Crusader Kings II is set in medieval Europe, where petty lords compete with kings for control of fragmented realms. You play a Christian lord and guide a succession of his descendants, building your dynasty’s power and trying to keep its feudal domain from falling apart.

Rule and scheme

Expand your demesne, fill your coffers, appoint vassals and introduce laws. You interact with hundreds of nobles, courtiers and vassals, each with their own opinions and agendas, while uncovering their plots and dealing with traitors and heretics. Loyal vassals can become rivals, and some may be less dependable than they appear. Each character you play earns Prestige, adding to your dynasty’s glory.

Faith and conflict

The Pope may call a Crusade to protect Christians in the Holy Land, while also struggling to retain control over the investiture of bishops and their wealth. You can take up the Cross against the Moor, the Heathen and the Heretic, defend against the Mongol Horde, and contend with the Pope for control of the bishops.

Campaign and multiplayer

Begin at any point from 1066 to 1337 and play through to 1453. Multiplayer supports up to 32 other players in competitive games.
