Crusader Kings Complete is a foundational grand strategy title that laid the groundwork for an entire subgenre of character-driven historical simulations. Developed by Paradox Development Studio and published by Paradox Interactive, this Complete edition bundles the original Crusader Kings with its major expansion, presenting a dense and uncompromising portrayal of medieval Europe that prioritizes dynastic survival...

About the game
Europe is in turmoil. The lands are fragmented into petty fiefs and the Emperor struggles with the Pope. At this very moment the Pope has declared that those who go to liberate the Holy Land will be freed of all sins. Gather prestige and piety and the world will whisper your name in awe.
