Crusader Kings 2: Charlemagne DLC is available now

Paradox Development Studio announced that Crusader Kings 2’s eighth DLC, called Charlemagne is now available, along with the 2.2 patch, which adds new stuff into the game and fixes some issues.

Crusader Kings 2 Charlemagne DLC will take place in A.D. 769, and it will feature a story event set around the rise of the Holy Roman Empire. Other features included in this DLC are an Annual Chronicle, custom Kingdoms and Empires, new cultures, an innovative system for climate and seasonal transitions and an overhaul of the Regency system. The Charlemagne expansion pack is now available on PC, Mac OS and Linux and it costs $15. Paradox also released a trailer for the new Charlemagne DLC. You can watch it below:

In addition to the Charlemagne DLC, Paradox released patch 2.2, which is a free major update to the game. This patch includes new features such as tribal holdings, a learning scenario for new players, the Centralization law and an Era and character quick selection screen. An important change that this update brings is that wars cannot be won anymore unless a major battle has taken place or three years in-game time has passed. Several modifications were also made at the tribes level. Also, a lot of issues were fixed, including crashes caused by several player interactions with the game. For a full list of changes, you can check the official Paradox forums.

Crusader Kings 2 is a grand strategy game, developed by Paradox Development Studio and published by Paradox Interactive. It was released on February 14, 2012 on PC. A Mac OS version came out on May 24, 2012 and a Linux version followed the next year. The game features eight DLC’s so far, including the one released today, called Charlemagne. Besides the main DLC expansion packs, Paradox also released minor DLC’s that add certain items to the game, but don’t affect gameplay in any way.

I'm a journalism graduate and an occasional gamer. As a kid I used to own a NES clone called "Terminator 2", which was hugely popular in my country. I like old school games and adventure games but I occasionaly play RPG's and Shooters as well, though I wouldn't call myself an expert at these kinds of games. When I'm not writing or playing games I prefer reading detective or fantasy novels.
