“One heart and one soul against the Christian name.” So went the message from Estonia after the routing of the Teuton invaders at Umera. The fires of faith burn hot, as local gods come under attack from a universal church that offers a stark choice - God or the Sword?

Crusader Kings II: Holy Fury is the newest and one of the most wide-ranging expansions to Paradox Development Studio’s beloved medieval grand strategy role-playing game. Take charge of a body of righteous warriors in Holy Fury, leading your army on a Crusade for the faith, or defending against attackers. Holy Fury takes its inspiration from the Northern Crusaders of Catholic Europe against its Pagan neighbors. Play either side in a new holy war.

In Holy Fury, Pagan rulers who reform their religion instead of converting will have a chance to design that new Reformed Paganism. A religion of peace or one of war? Will you be guided by the stars or bow to the whims of bloodthirsty gods? Who will lead this new church? Build a new creed on the ashes of the old ways.


Other features in Crusader Kings II: Holy Fury include:

Shattered and Random Worlds: Start your game on a fictional map of Europe as a small realm fighting for space, or on a random map with historical analogues for the great kingdoms of yore.
Warrior Lodges: Join a Pagan warrior lodge and raid your way up the ranks, unlocking access to powerful allies and greater military skill.
Legendary Bloodlines: Descendants of great warrior heroes will have bonuses that match the accomplishments of their forefathers, including historical bloodlines of Charlemagne, Genghis Khan and others..
Sway or Antagonize Your Neighbors: Try to win a reluctant vassal through charm and persuasion, or provoke someone you want to push into conflict.
Sainthood: Pious Catholics can become canonized, passing on their glory to their descendants and making their resting place a site of great value.
Coronations: Feudal kings and emperors must find clergy to crown them, since all power descends from the heavens.
New Crusade Events: Deeper gameplay for the religious wars of the era.
New Succession Laws: A Pagan Elder Council may have the final word in how a realm is divided among heirs, or a ruler may challenge his brother to combat to unify a realm.
And much more: Changes to religion, custom names for people or objects, deeper baptismal mechanics, lists of people you’ve killed, and other small changes for flavor and variety.

Like all Crusader Kings II expansions, Holy Fury will be accompanied by a major free update for all Crusader Kings players, including changes to how Crusades work.

Holy Fury is coming in 2018 for the suggested retail price of $19.99..

Really important question here in regards to that price. Does that mean you don't have a unit pack included (is there even a new unit pack for the dlc, if so tease us with some of the units PLEASE?).

Nothing planned for now! We'll let you know if we come up with something! ;)
 
Anyone else expected there to be an alternative trailer from a pagan point of view?
Cheers for your feedback! We'll take it into account :)
 
Rule 4 also says "you can still have credits". Which we didn't get. While it's awesome that Paradox is adding these things from our mods in a more official/polished capacity, it would be very nice for them to admit somewhere that they took inspiration from us. Otherwise it really does feel like a slap in the face, especially considering the sheer percentage of the announced features that came from popular mods.

To clarify, I don't care that paradox is including features that originated in Plus. It's their right per the EULA we agree to when we play the game. I'm merely annoyed that they didn't acknowledge where they came from.

Hello everyone!

I thought I'd pop by to clarify things around the thread ;)

When designing the new features for Holy Fury, we did not take inspiration from any mods nor copy their systems and contents. As some of you have pointed out correctly, Coronations and Sainthood were hallmarks of medieval Catholic feudal society, and the independent research carried out by the team showed that it would fit right in our rework of the Catholic Clergy and the importance of the Pope. That being said, mods cited in this thread (such as CK2+ for instance) are great (if not completely awesome), and we sincerely hope players will try them out and have fun with them! ;)

Wishing you all a great day!
 
Please give Sainthood to other Christians.

For example, a Pagan ruler who successfully Baptises his realm should become a saint.

It has happened IRL and would give other Christians some flavour without being hard to implement.

I'm not sure why people seem to think Saints only are for Catholics, but.. Well . Beatification is open for all Christians beside Waldensians, and Canonization is open for all Christians with a Religious Head.
 
Will we be able to continue from an old save with the new DLC/patch? I have a Scandanavia game where I'm just about ready to reform the faith, so I want to know if I'll be able to pick it back up for the new reformation mechanics or if I'll need to start over.

We recommend not doing so, as there is quite a lot of map updates etc that will make things funky, but it should be possible as far as I know.
 
Should still be fine, we recommend finishing a game just in case but new provinces and titles just get populated once you load your save and hit play.
