Conclave
Conclave
Conclave, the newest expansion for the game, will give your vassals some bite to go along with your bark, as the council that governs your realm will now demand some say in how you rule. Powerful dukes, regardless of competence, will require a seat at the table, and those left on the outside will be more likely to plot against you.
Horse Lords

Can you build a Pax Mongolica and dominate Eurasia, connecting East and West under your rule and creating a new era of prosperity? Or will you be the terrible sword that cuts down what others have built, crushing all in your path?
Way of Life

Let others keep their stone fortresses, for you can find ample security in money! Lead a great merchant family and pursue petty feuds with rivals while building trading posts throughout the world
Legacy of Rome
