He'll now be the ruler of a Republic which is your vassal. Now give the duchy and rule of all lesser titles to the Lord Mayor. Give him control of the other counties in that duchy or appoint mayors in those counties to rule as well or even just leave them as regular feudal counts. At least one must be coastal, however.Īppoint the mayor of a city in the de jure county capital to be the county ruler and give him control of all lesser titles. The best option is for all the de jure counties in the duchy to have sea access, but it isn't required. If you conquer a nice piece of real estate consisting of a 2-3 county duchy you can make that duchy into a vassal Republic. You don't have to play as a Republic to make use of a Republic as long as you have that DLC.
CRUSADER KINGS 2 ALL DLC FREE
Which could also free up some spare change for the other big DLCs that aren't included in the collection. If you're not all that bothered about cosmetic DLCs and you're not that interested in all of the major DLCs included in this collection, you might be able to save some cash just picking and choosing what most interests you individually rather than buying the lot. It can be a lot of fun, but there are only a handful of Republics you can play as in the whole of the CKII timeline so although the content is very different, it has the capacity to get stale. It's not at all historical, but it does make the late game much more fun if you're playing near the western edge of Europe.įinally The Republic DLC adds game mechanics that differ greatly from your typical Crusader Kings II experience where you play for wealth and trade power more than the advancement of your dynasty. The Sunset Invasion provides an alternate history where Western Europe is suddenly invaded by the Aztecs from across the Atlantic. By the 13th Century, Eastern Europe is being challenged by the mighty Mongol Hordes whilst Western Europe is left in relative peace and harmony. The Sunset Invasion is a relatively minor DLC. It also gives you the ability to hire retinues as standing armies, which has come to be regarded as a core game mechanic regard and certainly provides you with a very powerful tool to expand your realm. Legacy of Rome adds a lot more content if you play within the Byzantine Empire and gives you the challenge of restoring the Roman Empire. A good third to half of the game map in Crusader Kings II is controlled by Muslim rulers so having SoI will give you a lot more places to play in and experience, along with access to special mechanics that only affect Muslim rulers. The unit DLCs are nice and add a little more visual spice to what you see on the game map, but they're purely cosmetic so you might consider them unnecessary.Īs for the particular major DLCs included in this collection, Swords of Islam gives you access to Muslim rulers. So for example, if you never play in Russia, you will never hear the Songs of the Rus (unless you're up for modding a few game files). The music DLCs are all very well produced pieces of work, but a lot of them are situational. But the Collection is actually missing the three most recent major content DLCs - The Old Gods, Sons of Abraham and Rajas of India.Īs to the wider question of whether its worth it, its all in the eye of the beholder. It has most of the song DLCs and alot of the cosmetic DLC's alongside four of the major content DLCs (Sword of Islam, Legacy of Rome, Sunset Invasion and The Republic). Just to be clear OP, whilst the CKII Collection has a lot of DLC, it does not have all CKII DLC. Mostly adds mechanics to interaction with the Pope for Catholics and some random events for all rulers.

Sons of Abraham is good too, but not as big an impact IMO. I would consider those to the most worth getting. Or just the base game and Old Gods itself. Old Gods pushes back the earliest start date 200 years, so you get new scenarios with any other DLC you get too. Basically a standing army as opposed to levies. LoR=Retinues, which are powerful and make holding together a large empire MUCH easier. To be clear, Legacy of Rome, Old Gods and Sons of Abraham affect things outside of their respective added ruler types (mostly religions, Republic adds a different type of ruler entirely) And I read the collection doesn't include all DLC, RoI is absent. The Republic won't do much unless you play a republic, SoI doesn't do much unless you play Muslim etc.
CRUSADER KINGS 2 ALL DLC MODS
First of all, wait for it to go -75%, and second, most of the mods are not much use unless you play them. Originally posted by TentacleMayor:Actually, no, in my opinion.
