Crusader Kings 2 – Trailer for the DLC "The Reaper's Due"
In order to prepare for the release of Crusader Kings 3 planned for 2020, the publisher Paradox tries to suggest the players Crusader Kings 2. While Free2Play is now a regular part of the main program, the team gives away individual DLCs at irregular intervals.
You have to hurry: Until March 9, 2020 at 6:00 p.m. you have the chance to get the mini expansion "The Reaper's Due" free of charge on Steam and to keep it forever.
It's in The Reaper's Due
The expansion took place in the 14th century, when 30 – 60 percent of the European population died from the consequences of the plague. Accordingly, the core of the DLC is the game's completely revised epidemic system.
- The plague: On a new map view you can watch the plague spread.
- Royal doctors: A new position with events like diagnosis and medieval treatment of diseases.
- Depopulation: If you do not try to contain the spread, entire regions can deteriorate.
- Hospitals: Slow down the spread of epidemics.
- Seclusion: You can withdraw yourself from epidemics with your retinue while your countries are being carried away by you.
Popular extension: On Steam, 380 players rated The Reaper's Due. And they are largely satisfied with the additional content. A whopping 88 percent praised the expansion and, in their comments, highlighted in particular the exciting stories that they were able to experience in the game thanks to it. At the same time, the level of difficulty increases significantly, which is why the DLC is not necessarily suitable for all players.
Crusader Kings 2 currently owns in about 300 euros of downloadable content. So buying them all will be quite expensive. But not all are worth it for every player. In our guide, we therefore explain which DLCs are useful for whom.
