More detailed patch notes can be read here.

I haven’t had a chance to try out any of the four new DLC’s or see the changes in the patch notes for myself but from what I researched it looks like Paradox Development Studios is making some needed changes to the base Crusader Kings II game. Expect plenty more DLC to come in the future.

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