With that goal in mind, the first goal one typically works towards in a new game is to subjugate their neighbor. Work like this is what a player will typically use to begin forging their empire in Crusader Kings II. Otherwise, you will wind up a vassal of one such kingdom forced to abide by their laws and decrees under the threat of having your lands, freedom, and/or head taken from you.
The answer is brutally simple: if you don’t, others will! There are literally hundredsof other families in the world vying for the same thing, so it’s only a matter of time before the fragmented lands of the 8 thcentury start to form large kingdoms you’d do well to be one of them. The core gameplay element of CKIIconsists of you – the head of a medieval noble house – expanding the power and influence of your family across the world. In the chaotic world of the Dark Ages, CKII urges you towards whatever is necessary to cling onto the relative safety of the throne, and in doing so, highlights how ignoble nobility truly was. Survival hinges on one using every lever of power available to them, exploiting every weakness, and eschewing every moral boundary that would hold you back.
In doing so, one quickly learns the intense dangers of the world they inhabit: war, famine, disease, intrigue, rebellion, chaos and death are the rules rather than the exceptions. But sometimes in doing so, they manage to arouse, indulge, and even encouragesome of our darkest impulses.Suchis so in Crusader Kings II( CKII) ,a medieval grand strategy game wherein the player guides a family of nobility through the trials and tribulations of the Dark Ages. Transcending time and reality, video games as a medium provide an utterly unique glimpse of life in historical periods and other worlds, while calling upon our unique knowledge and experiences to invoke our alter egos.
