Using this information, I’ve created a mini-history which covers most of the regions of Europe and the Middle East and the powerful kingdoms and sultanates within those regions from 1066 to 1315. However, the direction history took in my simulation is nonetheless fascinating and complete, and using tools available to me in the game I can dig through the events and characters of history to see what happened, who it happened to, when it happened and where. The history that has developed is quite fascinating: Crusader Kings is a deep game that simulates and models feudal relationships, dynamics, intrigue and warfare that was prominent in the Middle Ages, and the world that has developed during the period of my simulation is very representative of that.īy 1315 in my simulation, the world is nothing like it was in the real 1315. I’ve been observing a simulation of the Europe and the Middle-East from 1066 to 1315, using the grand strategy game Crusader Kings 2.
