Newly founded kingdoms are therefore at exceptional risk of invasion. The inclusion of tribal holds - which were at their height in the era of Charlemagne - adds a lot of realism to the gameplay, and the fact that most upgrades here cost prestige instead of money does a fair share in mixing up some gameplay strategies when playing as smaller vassals or high chiefs.
When the kingdom is formed, the land within the kingdom won't become de jure pieces of the player's realm for a hundred years of game-time. Kingdoms and Empires can now also be created without owning traditional de jure lands so players are now free to name and create their own kingdoms when they acquire enough land, even if it doesn't conform to the placement of the historic kingdoms of the world. Players who fear they're the target of murderous plot can now also go into hiding, though they'll have to deal with the negative effects of being isolated from public eye for any long duration of time, and hopefully have a trustworthy regent in place. Paradox Development Studio revealed they had wanted to remove this feature for a long time, and have finally done so in Charlemagne, meaning that plots are now the go-to method of removing rivals from the map. One of the most noticeable changes in terms of intrigue and espionage is the complete removal of the Assassination option, where players could put down a large chunk of gold for a risky attempt at immediate murder. It is playing as these characters where the game really shines, as the customized events will present players with unique insights, risks, and choices to make.
Since the game is centered around the exploits of Charlemagne, the main focus is on the way he 'united Europe' by forming the aforementioned Holy Roman Empire. The expansion packs no shortage of in-game events and backstory if players choose to play as Charlemagne, or even his brother Carloman. The Charlemagne expansion allows players to start the timeline a hundred years prior to the events of the Old Gods, which means gamers can now start the game in 769, back when tribes dominated the landscapes and before the formation of the Holy Roman Empire by - you guessed it - Charlemange himself. Read on to find out if it's worth a purchase. Though the game is now two years old, Paradox Interactive has kept it supplied with plenty of downloadable content updates, the latest being Charlemagne. It's arguably the largest expansion since Old Gods, and brings a lot of new content for hungry Crusader Kings 2 fans. Crusader Kings 2 is one of the most deep strategy games out there today, where players quest to bring their family to power through any means necessary - assassinations, subterfuge, war and deceit are the name of the game.
