About Crusader Kings II
Crusader Kings II is created by the development team behind the Europa Universalis and Hearts of Iron series. In Crusader Kings II you must rule with an iron fist and win the hearts of your subjects through fear, or lead a nation through respect and loyalty—the choice is yours. Keep your alliances close, your blades sharp and your wits about you at all times - for you will need them. Sacking an army takes strength. Ruling an entire nation takes a true leader. Do you have what it takes to become a Crusader King?

"A game arrives precisely when its intended too."

3. To schedule or designate: Our professor has slated the art history lecture for Thursday afternoon; was slated to direct the studio's next film.

I do !

Preorder placed - on Steam - as a trial of the new patch & dlc policy. Oh, and to get what promises to be a fabulous game, of course.

 

[spinoza013]

I do !

You obviously fail to appreciate the finer points of the English language. Time will tell.

Preorder on Steam done.

French : J'ai l'impression de m'être fait avoir :angry: .
English : You say in your publishing that CKII cost 39,99 USD, but I've bought the game for 39,95€ . Why don't you made the dollars/euros conversion ? I hope this is an error ...

The web page www.crusaderkings.com has only old alpha screenshots. They have a lot worse artwork than the demo and release version!! Especially the portraits. You should definitely go and change those, or people will get a bad impression of the game.

Not to mention that the "wallpaper" is just an Alpha screenshot of the Arabia part of the map.

I hope this does not sound ungrateful, but I already own Crusader Kings Complete. I expect most people who are going to preorder do. What are we supposed to do with a second copy on Steam, of all places?

Either that or you are missing mine. And I don't need time to know which one !

Americans don't pay taxes to EU. If you deduct the Swedish VAT from the euro price, you notice the price is about same is in US dollars.

 

[tobier]

Placed pre-order, first I'm getting a Paradox game on Steam.

You've just proved my point.

So, all my apologies to Paradox .

The difference has been talked about a lot on the forums, so feel free to do a search to see Johan and other's answers. The basics however is that here in Europe we have huge VAT and other charges, while in the states you don't. That's what makes up the difference.

This isn't unique to PI or video games. Everything except for maybe food is like this. You just don't notice it.

 

[Charmide]

You've just proved my point.

And you still focus on the letter at the cost of missing the spirit.

Curious preordered on Steam but there is actually no mention of any preorder DLCs, hmm... will I get them?

 

[Nikolai]

I'm so in love with this game I've preordered both on Steam and GG.

When I'm looking at the preorder thingy at steam, it's there
(preordered on GG though, prefer that vendor, and got 2 versions of the original game already xD)
