Paradox Interactive excellent strategy game Crusader Kings II has been updated with a ton of new additions, bug fixes and performance improvements. These patches have been around for a while but I think they only just got added to the Steam version of Crusader Kings II yesterday.

  • Retinues no longer get free leaders.

  • Fixed several bugs with Gavelkind and Primogeniture succession.
  • Fixed some issues with the Supply Limit and attrition rules…

I have been playing Crusader Kings II quite a lot recently and its a lot of fun. I been meaning to buy it but I wanted them to fix the game more and add some new stuff before diving into it. The current sale on Steam (just over two hours left) was a perfect time for me to get it. So I bought Crusader Kings II and the seventeen pieces of DLC all together. I also bought the Crusader Kings II: Sunset Invasion DLC which isn’t listed for some reason maybe because its strays of the historical path.

Crusader Kings II is a good game, I highly recommend it.
