Crusader Kings II Legacy of Rome Expansion Announced
The last gasp of the Roman Empire is in your hands, dear leader.
NEW YORK – August 28, in the year of our Lord 2012
– Crusader Kings II: Legacy of Rome is a new expansion
which will breathe a dose of hot, spicy, Mediterranean fresh air
into the deliciously dark world of the critically acclaimed
strategy/RPG, Crusader Kings II. The Byzantine Empire is
receiving some tender loving care from Paradox Interactive and
Paradox Development Studio with the new expansion pack, which
will add a wealth of features to the game and build upon
Crusader Kings' glory.
In the rich politics of Byzantium, you'll find your cranky and
disgruntled vassals split into factions, which will band
together in revolt against your rule (they're getting smarter)!
Thankfully, your generals have improved to match them. Legacy of
Rome introduces Leader Focus, with generals' skills carrying
more importance than ever before. This may prove useful if you
have any generals that are (I) competent and (II) not plotting
to drown you in a lake.
As for the wealth of features, let's talk about wealth! You'll
be able to appoint your very own Orthodox patriarch instead of
depending on that miserable old patriarch of Constantinople,
plus you'll have greater control over where you demand levies
from your vassals, and, of course, indulge in new,
Byzantine-specific events and decisions. You'll need your regent
to be at the top of their game, so it's a good thing there are
now Self-Improvement ambitions for them! It's almost as if not
everybody in the kingdom is out to get you.
The last gasp of the Roman Empire is in your hands, dear leader.
Try not to mess it up.
This second expansion pack for Crusader Kings II arrives Q4 2012
on all major digital download portals for the suggested retail
price of 9,99 USD.
