About

Crusader Kings is the first game in the Crusader Kings series. Like its sequel, Crusader Kings II, it is a grand strategy game set in Europe and the surrounding area during the medieval era. Rather than playing as a country, as is the case for most grand strategy titles, in Crusader Kings you play as an individual and his/her descendants. It was developed by Paradox Development Studios and was published by Paradox Interactive in 2004.
