Extra, extra! Indian Crusading!

by on 28th Jan 2014

You've always had a taste for the exotic. The pull of distant, vast lands with sights unseen, interesting people who embrace multitude in their beliefs and a wide diveristy of things that captivate the senses. So it is only becoming that you welcome Paradox Interactive's announcement of Crusader Kings II: Rajas of India.

Setting their sights on the subcontinent, the fiery sixth expansion for the universally-acclaimed strategy/RPG Crusader Kings II gets intimate with India and its pluralistic religions; Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. Karma has been kind!

Dust off your jewelled turban and defend dharma as a mighty Indian Raja, conquering in the name of Indra! Raise war elephant units and fight in the dense jungle terrain. Make Siddhartha proud as a Buddhist and advance your technology or maintain a harmonious stable realm as a Jain. Raid your neighbors as a warlike Hindu of the Kshatriya caste!

Can you defend Dharma against foreign invaders and bring order to the subcontinent?

The features most rare:

• Rajas of India features twice the landmass of the base game.
• Play as an Indian ruler. Start a new and quite different type of game by playing as an Indian raja in 867 (if you have The Old Gods expansion) or at any point between 1066 to 1337 AD.
• Three new Unique Religions. Choose between the Buddhist, Jain and Hindu beliefs for different benefits.
• Caste System.
• Experience Indian Events & Decisions.
• Elephants and Jungles.
• Hundreds of new Provinces including Central Asia and large parts of Siberia too.
• New Interface Skin.
• Indian characters get a unique set of facial profiles and clothes.
• Steam MP Matchmaking and Steam Workshop: These features are brought over from Europa Universalis IV into Crusader Kings II, together with Borderless Windowed mode in the patch together with the release of the expansion.

It requires not much faith then, to believe Rajas of India to be very much worth our time when it comes out in the Spring.
