Here Be Media - Episode 10 - Crusader Kings: Considering History as a Playground

Hello everyone! It is finally time for us to talk about a Paradox game, and Crusader Kings, no less! We dive into the intricacies of Medieval History, its (mis)representations and the difficult effort of creating a historical game, with the added challenge of it being a grand strategy game like this one. All in all, a fun and very intricate episode on how we look at history, how do we create things based on it, and the specific elements of the Medieval Period. And, of course, the roleplay chaos and brilliance that is Crusader Kings! Have fun!
