help Crusader Kings II FAQ

Is Crusader Kings II an RTS?

Not really. Crusader Kings II is a grand strategy dynasty simulator from Paradox Development Studio, released in 2012.

What do you actually control in Crusader Kings II?

You control a medieval ruler and then their heirs, not a fixed country in the usual strategy-game sense. Marriage, inheritance, religion, claims, vassals, and assassinations can matter as much as armies.

Why did Crusader Kings II become easier to try later?

Paradox made the base game free-to-play in 2019. The many DLC packs still add start dates, religions, government types, and regional mechanics.

What is the main difference between Crusader Kings II and Europa Universalis IV?

Crusader Kings II focuses on characters and dynasties from the medieval period. Europa Universalis IV focuses more on states, diplomacy, trade, colonization, and warfare from the early modern era.
