Crusader Kings 2 announces ‘The Old Gods’ expansion, due in Q2 this year

Crusader Kings 2 has been the strategy game of choice for many people I know recently, and their incessant tweets/instant messages giving me updates on their army’s progress and how many children their queen has had lately have made the game sound immensely appealing. Well, now things are about to get even better as Paradox announce ‘The Old Gods’ expansion, due out later in the year.
The new expansion is set to include the chance to play either as a Pagan or Zoroastrian, and bring about the return of the Old Gods through sacrifice and divination, as well as a new starting time period of 867 AD, giving you 200 more years. Rebels now have needs and goals, cities can be burned to the ground, and you can now declare your intent to invade a rich target, and “watch adventurers and opportunists flock to your banner”. Check out the trailer below.

Kinda expected this given that the Pagan button on the character creator was greyed out saying “Expansion Required” in the same way the Islamic ones were.
200 more years however… HELL YES, suddenly gives me an excuse to go back to it, I felt the game was too short before, by the time you worked your way up to King it was already too late in the game to conquer all of europe. This should be plenty of time now.
Sounds sweet!
200 years is a surprise, although unlocking pagans is not.
glinnmgraw,
Makes more sense to allow you to start 200 years further back as the pagans in 1066 were almost all converted or very weak as you see them in-game. 876 AD will allow us to see and play some powerful pagan kingdoms.
aetius,
Will also allow us to play as pagan post-Roman Britannia I hope. (given this is 200 years before William takes over England). I also hope for a playable Edward the confessor.
I hope they keep bringing DLC out for this game for pretty much ever, my favourite game in a very, very long time.
