In the only game I played all the way from 1066 to the end, I took some time to find all of the first ruler's descendants, and I discovered a whole branch of muslim 'nobles' descended from my first king because of a strange sequence of marriages and intermingling of Spanish muslim and christian lineages. I also discovered a duchy lead by distant descendants of my first ruler. Crusader Kings is one of my favorite games, which manages to blend the personal life of a early medieval nobleman, including marriages, family management, courtiers and all that, with an amazing and huge map encompassing Europe, Africa and the Middle East.Ĭrusader Kings seems to generate realistic but new stories for the ages between 1066 and the 1400s, and I love seeing how to historic struggles play out and are replaced by other, different struggles.
I've written a couple of stories related to the Crusader Kings game in the past, previously on the forums for the game.
