You can join a monastic order and pursue traditional virtues and learning, or seek out the kind of knowledge only available to those skilled in alchemy and astrology. In the add-on, your ruler has the chance to join religious societies to improve their standing with both humankind and God (or the gods). Monks and Mystics specifically is the game’s newest expansion. The game is essentially the closet you can come to playing a true Game of Thrones style game, especially if you activate the Game of Thrones mod. The game has been Paradox’s second most successful release to date, after only Cities: Skylines, with over 1 million copies sold. And to celebrate, Paradox has released a new launch trailerįor those that don’t know: Crusader Kings II is a grand strategy game set in the Middle Ages that released back in February of 2012. If it is going to be secret, let me give them a reason to keep it a secret.Today, publisher Paradox Interactive and its in-house studio Paradox Development Studio’s newest expansion for Crusader Kings II, Monks and Mystics, launches today on PC, Mac, and Linux. I should have the same option the moment this starts.
Rulers converted entire people groups by the sword. There is no reason I should have to sit and helplessly watch people drift away. I'm also going to have to go back to a previous version just to avoid this infecting every future game. It would be tedious to console command kill half the dynasty, but I don't see another way. It would be much more realistic than half the ruling class switching in a matter of months to a faith that literally spent a decade trying to wipe my realm off the Earth. The moment someone demonstrates sympathy for -, or the "is almost certainly a member of a secret society" crap pops up, I should have the option to imprison and kill with no malus. I forced one prisoner to convert, and now a secret society is running rampant. I want to shut it down the moment it pops up. I don't want to wait another twenty years for some random event to fire while watching more and more hard earned potential leaders fall under the spell. "Oh, that's now part of the role playing fun! You'll get to go back and forth and blah blah blah." Nope.
