Europe is in turmoil. The lands are fragmented into petty fiefs, the emperor struggles with the Pope, and the Holy Father declares that all those who go to liberate the Holy Land will be freed of their sins. Now is the time for greatness.

Increase your lands and fill your coffers, appoint vassals, battle traitors, introduce laws while interacting with hundreds of nobles, and create the most powerful dynasty of medieval Europe.

A beleaguered king will always have friends to support him. But beware, as your rule and realm may find trouble when a loyal vassal becomes a bitter rival. Stand ready, increase your prestige, and listen to the world whisper your name in awe.

Do you have what it takes to become a Crusader King?

It's because Paradox have recently adopted the policy of releasing their games 'Steam only'. GamersGate has had the game longer and got it before they adopted this policy, but since it's only just come out on Desura it's subject to Paradox's current way of thinking.

Why the staff keep accepting games onto Desura that are just Steam keys I have no idea. There's literally no point in buying here since you can't install them from Desura (clicking the game in the Desura list just starts Steam up).

Not sure how selling keys that force people towards your competitors is good business sense...

I dont like to see Desura as a Steam competitor. I like to think of Desura as a place more focused on indie games and mods. Steam's workshop right now is being held back by the fact only games that steam support can have mods on the workshop and Steam's indie section is lacking. Greenlight takes too long.

I'm not sure why this is on here if it requires steam. I don't think Desura can compete on price with Steam sales and the sales of the other stores.

Best live out alternate medieval history simulator ever. I've been extremely enjoying my scenario in which Roman Emperor Alexius II isn't murdered by his power hungry uncle.
