New expansion for Crusader Kings II
Little remains of those settlements where the Black Death has passed through. Hasty burials make a mockery of the sacraments and set a feast for the crows. Once prosperous provinces have been laid waste, and the lord of the land hides away, secluded in his hilltop fortress, hoping the plague will pass him by. Wiser princes took precautions, and didn’t waste the revenues from more prosperous years.
But, in time, all must pay The Reaper’s Due.
The Reaper’s Due is the newest expansion for Crusader Kings II, medieval strategy simulator from Paradox Development Studio. This expansion highlights the historic importance of epidemics and disease in the Middle Ages, especially the Black Death; an outbreak of the bubonic plague that may have killed a third of the population of Europe
Key features for The Reaper’s Due are:
- Epidemics Boosted
As diseases may spread from province to province along trade and sea lanes, they lower your manpower and sap your wealth.
- Hospitals and Royal Physicians
Prevent the outbreak of disease in your kingdom, and make sure your courtiers have access to the latest in Dark Ages Medical Science.
- Prosperity and Royal Focus
Well managed provinces in peaceful kingdoms will pay huge dividends in gold and levies.
- Seclusion
Shield yourself from the diseases tearing your kingdom apart, even if it means ignoring the plight of your people.
- New Event Chains
Is the new epidemic the End of Days? Is there someone else to blame for these horrors? Are there supernatural origins or solutions to the world’s problems?
