Meanwhile, a free patch has also been released for the poxy masses. Worst case scenario, you can become a crazy cat lady. But you can always hide yourself away and respond to the new event chains from your isolated quarters. As the plague sweeps across your provinces, the decreased population will have a knock-on effect, draining you of yummy taxes and so forth. You’ll be able to hire court physicians to diagnose and treat the disease in their own medieval way, as well as build hospitals to slow the malady’s expansion. There already was a touch of plague going around in the towns and cities of CK II, but this DLC adds the Black Death as a larger threat, whose spread can be tracked in a new map mode that details all the illnesses affecting the land.
As usual, there’s also a free patch tweaking other issues, for all the peasants unable to find £7 in their coffers.
The Black Death will ravage the land and you’ll be forced to either fight against it or hide away in your castle with your pet cat. The Reaper’s Due brings a bunch of new events and mechanics for Europe’s worst case of the sniffles. Dynastic strategy and infanticide simulator, Crusader Kings II, has received its latest add-on. Bring out yer dead, we’ve got a lovely wheelbarrow ready and waiting.
