RELEASE NOTES

The Dark Ages might be drawing to a close, but Europe is still in
turmoil. Petty lords vie against beleaguered kings who struggle to
assert control over their fragmented realms. The Pope calls for a
Crusade to protect the Christians in the Holy Land even as he refuses
to relinquish control over the investiture of bishops - and their
riches. Now is the time for greatness. Expand your demesne and secure
the future of your dynasty. Fill your coffers, appoint vassals, root
out traitors and heretics, introduce laws and interact with hundreds
of nobles, each with their own agenda.

A good lord will always need friends to support him. But beware, as
loyal vassals can quickly turn to bitter rivals, and some might not be
as reliable as they seem. Stand ready, and increase your prestige
until the world whispers your name in awe. Do you have what it takes
to become a Crusader King?

Crusader Kings II explores one of the defining periods in world history
in an experience crafted by the masters of Grand Strategy. Medieval
Europe is brought to life in this epic game of knights, schemes, and
thrones.
