Europe) and not bother yourself too much with the characters and their petty lives. You can certainly play the game like a hardcore strategy title.
Or maybe the fact that whenever I discuss the game with my friends I extrapolate way too much on my marriage politics or the coolness of my rulers. Maybe it was Let’s Plays like Flamboyant Schemers that made me realise this (go read it, it’s awesome). I never thought there’d be a strategy game that could capture this role-playing feeling so well. Even when you get knocked off the throne, defeated in battle, marry the wrong wife, have ugly and lisping children… it’s all part of the story. In Crusader Kings 2, failing is part of the game. I really tried to get better at Civ IV or V, but somehow I never did, no matter how much I read about good strategies. More often than not, I just played on because I felt I had to finish it, even though I knew I could not win any more. You know, when you get an unfavourable starting position, or make a few mistakes in city placement or have some bad luck in battle? Somehow that always ruined the game for me, because I strove for perfection. I used to re-start my Civ games so much, I hardly ever finished a round. This is probably the most amazing thing about Crusader Kings 2: I love strategy games, and I used to play loads and loads of Civilization, for example but with the Civ games and most other strategy titles, there came a point real quickly where I’d get annoyed and tired of playing. I am planning a proper Let’s Play though, since I am nowhere near fed up with this game yet! I finally finished my first “round” of Crusader Kings 2, the most addictive game I’ve played in a while! I wanted to update more about it in the process, but besides having some Uni work to do I also staged a play and had lots of visitors… and there was just no time.
