Paradox Development Studio revealed today that it’s working on the next expansion pack for Crusader Kings II, Conclave, which will be released in early 2016.
Crusader Kings II is Paradox Interactive’s best-selling medieval grand strategy game, and with the Conclave expansion, players will be able to give their vassals some bite as the council that governs your realm will now demand some say in how you rule. Powerful dukes will request a seat at your table, and anyone left outside of your plans will likely plot against you.
In this venomous world of Conclave, you’ll want to keep your council happy, so the vassals don’t go against your faction and start a civil war. Ignore powerful underlings at your peril, or you could always buy their loyalty with favours.
Here’s a list of features sent to GameWatcher from Paradox Interactive:
- Councils can now vote on changes to realm laws – or you can try to limit their power and influence
- Revised education system for royal children, with new traits and events designed for childhood
- New diplomatic system that prioritizes marital alliances and non-aggression pacts, as well as the possibility of coalitions
- Improved military combat model with a greater emphasis on morale, as well as new rules for mercenary companies
- And many more smaller changes including the usual tweaks to how the AI prioritizes its decisions. </b>

Crusader Kings II: Conclave will be released early 2016. We'll bring you more on this expansion as we get it.
