Paradox Introduces Subscription Service for Crusader Kings II

Paradox is tinkering with a subscription for their grand strategy game, Crusader Kings II.  Why?  There’s an absolutely monstrous amount of content additions.  With the base game being completely free, what does this $4.99 per month sub get you?  Let’s find out:

• 13 major expansions, including the fierce Norse of The Old Gods, the eastern riches of Rajas of India, and the scheming vassals of Conclave
• 12 unit packs, including new army sprites for your medieval forces
• 14 music packs, including two heavy metal scores
• 10 portrait packs of clothing and faces for rulers around the world
• The Game Converter, which lets you export your saved game to Europa Universalis IV
• The Crusader Kings II Ruler Designer, so you can create your own starting monarch

The Paradox team has kept their foot on the gas pedal since the game’s initial release, so this could be a gateway to a massive amount of content for new or returning players.  Could this spell a new way to buy into some of Paradox’s bigger games?  Time will tell, but stay tuned — we’ll keep you posted here at GamingTrend.com
