Thorondor Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 Crusader Kings IIHeathens, we see, and to rule they come. Dangerous and adventurous times lie ahead for those who embrace the upcoming fourth expansion to Crusader Kings II: The Old Gods, for these deities will have their followers ruthlessly amassing power and wealth.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-edUnWQgyM But let's proceed with the divination: In the year 867 the Old Gods were still mighty. In England, the Raven Banner flew as the Great Heathen Army pillaged its way across the land, deposing kings and establishing the Danelaw. In the East, Rurik founded the state of Russia, and in the forests and steppes of central Europe, pagan tribes were on the move... Crusader Kings II: The Old Gods lets players step into the boots of a pagan chieftain, approaching the brutal backstabbing world of Crusader Kings through invasion, adventure, and holy war. The forthcoming expansion (...) will add a number of widely requested features to the game, including the ability to play as a Pagan or Zoroastrian ruler, expanding empires through war, pillaging, and ruthless brutality. Players will also be able to begin their in-game reign as far back as the year 867 AD, making The Old Gods officially the Paradox title that spans the longest period in history. Of most import: • New special start date in 867 AD: The Viking Rurik has founded the kingdom of Rus and the Great Heathen Army under the sons of Ragnar Lodbrok rampages through England.• Play as a Zoroastrian lord and restore your ancient religion to prominence.• as a Pagan chieftain ravage your weak neighbors. If you remain at peace for too long, your people will grow restless...• Adventurers: Landless characters can gather armies and go off to carve out new realms on their own.• Prepared Invasions: Declare your intention to invade and watch your armies grow with adventurers and restless warriors, but don't wait too long to start your war or it might all fall apart...• Rebels with a Cause: Rebels are no longer a faceless menace – they are now led by characters with agendas.• Loot and pillage provinces. Burn down their cities and take their gold!• Sacrifice to Odin at the great Blot!• Christians and Muslims can dispatch missions to convert the depraved heathens.• New beautiful Pagan interface skin.• New events and decisions: berserkers, sejdr, curses, omens, divinations, runestones and much more. It is furthermore portended by this oracle of Paradox Interactive that it shall all come to pass in the second Quarter of the Year of Our Grace of 2013.
