As is the norm for the release of a Crusader Kings 2 expansion (in this case Conclave, released today), the game has received a hefty free update as well.
In Conclave, you’ll be keeping an eye on your small council, making sure your darling children grow up right, and using your devious ways to spread chaos among any realms that aren’t your own. Meanwhile, back in the main Crusader Kings 2 “Getting killed by assassins no longer forces you to die twice.” So that’s nice.
Conclave is priced at $15/£11. Here’s a trailer, followed by the 2.5.1 patch notes.
