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.
This game has it all; a wealth of options that increases with every new patch (even the free ones!), a great and growing mod community and the ever present emergent gameplay that this kind of game offers. You will not be disappointed.
