Shattered and Random Worlds:

Start your game on a fictional map of Europe as a small realm fighting for space, or on a random map with historical analogues for the great kingdoms of yore.

Warrior Lodges:

Join a Pagan warrior lodge and raid your way up the ranks, unlocking access to powerful allies and greater military skill.

Legendary Bloodlines:

Descendants of great warrior heroes will have bonuses that match the accomplishments of their forefathers, including historical bloodlines of Charlemagne, Genghis Khan and others.

Sway or Antagonize Your Neighbors:

Try to win a reluctant vassal through charm and persuasion, or provoke someone you want to push into conflict.

Sainthood:

Pious Catholics can become canonized, passing on their glory to their descendants and making their resting place a site of great value.

Coronations:

Feudal kings and emperors must find clergy to crown them, since all power descends from the heavens.

New Crusade Events:

Deeper gameplay for the religious wars of the era.

New Succession Laws:

A Pagan Elder Council may have the final word in how a realm is divided among heirs, or a ruler may challenge his brother to combat to unify a realm.

And much more:

Changes to religion, custom names for people or objects, deeper baptismal mechanics, lists of people you’ve killed, and other small changes for flavor and variety.
