Disclaimer: As you may quickly gather, this is not in fact a real DLC announcement and I am not in fact a Paradox Interactive or Paradox Development Studio employee. This post is not intended as a criticism of their recently announced expansion into India nor of their DLC policy in general. Rather, it is my vision of how steppe nomads could be better represented within the framework of Crusader Kings II, something I feel is particular relevant given the upcoming map extension. As such, anyone should feel free to steal any and all of the idea listed below.
BOUVET ISLAND — January 31, 2014 — Saddle your horse, grab your bow, and ride across the Steppe in search of plunder and glory! Today, Oxymoron Interactive and Oxymoron Development Studio announce Crusading Rulers 2: Warriors of the Steppe, the seventh expansion for the partially-acclaimed strategy/make-believe game Crusading Rulers 2. Already in the middle of the current expansion, Crusading Rulers 2: Subcontinental Maharajas, the new Warriors of the Steppe will offer gamers all the excitement of an expansion, within an expansion!
For a brief, tantalizing hint of all the fabulous new features in store, be sure to read the exciting list of bullet points below:
