Hey, you there, the reader who’s always fascinated to hear weird tales and unusual patch notes from Crusader Kings II but has never gotten into the wheeling-dealing empire strategy game because even just buying it is intimidating with the array of add-ons supplementing it. Yes, you. You can now grab CK2 and all fifteen expansions for just over 12 in a new Humble Bundle, which is one fine deal. Heck, it’s a good deal if you already have CK2 or even a few expansions, just to top it off.

Crusader Kings II

Have you ever thought to yourself, "I've heard good things about this Crusader Kings 2 strategy game from Paradox Interactive—87/100 on PC Gamer!—but there are so many expansions to buy and that really adds up. How can I indulge my curiosity without breaking the bank?" If so, the Humble Crusader Kings 2 Bundle is just what you need to scratch that oddly particular itch.

For $1, you get Crusader Kings 2, and The Old Gods, The Republic, Sunset Invasion, Legacy of Rome, and Sword of Islam expansions. That's a lot of crusading with kings for a buck. For more than the average amount of bucks, you'll also get Horse Lords, Way of Life, Charlemagne, Rajas of India, and Sons of Abraham. And finally, at the top tier of $15 (which is so close to the average price that you might as well go all-in) the Holy Fury, The Reaper's Due, Jade Dragon, Monks and Mystics, and Conclave expansions are also yours.

As far as I can tell, the bundle includes the base game and every CK2 expansion: The only things not included are things like the shield, unit, and portrait packs. That's a whole lot of game for $15, especially given that the comparable Royal Collection bundle is normally $200 on Steam. The Humble Crusader Kings 2 Bundle is available until August 13.

One of the games I return to regularly is Crusader Kings 2, and usually, what pokes me back into its torrid embrace is a trip abroad. I ll go to a place I ve not really thought about much, then get well into its history and, because my curiosity writes cheques my attention span can t cash, I ll fail to read up on it at all. What I will> do, however, is open palm slam good ol CK2 into the VHS slot on my computer, and play the shit out of whatever bit of history I m intellectually horny for.

This is the shipping forecast; the synopsis at 5pm. Solid Snake just west of cloak room, expected to move towards Sam Fisher on dance floor before midnight. Wrecking Ball from Overwatch, mild at 1am, becoming rabid with lust at 3am. Agent 47 from Hitman: confused, occasional peeping, becoming horny later. Red Prince: cyclonic, mainly drinking alone, peering at Steve from Minecraft with questionable motives, occasionally licking lips.

(Yes. We did a podcast about romantically matchmaking game characters.)
