Crusader Kings II - Mythos: Historical Fantasy v. I assume that includes seducing Saruman and building a horse-orc empire that prevents the War of the Ring from ever happening. LoTR, Witcher, Warcraft, Warhammer, GoT, Elder Scrolls, etc. That said, I dont think a lot of the underhanded things you have to do to get/keep power in Crusader Kings fit in very well with the heroic fantasy setting of Lord of the Rings. With modders from previous Paradox titles in Imperator: Rome, Europa Universalis IV and Crusader Kings 2, alongside brand new modders who have shown incredible talent, together we are building a map of Middle-earth, full of the diverse characters and cultures seen in J.R.R. The focus is on the Riders of Rohan as they’re beset by both bandits and the forces of Saruman – but, of course, this is Crusader Kings, so you can take any faction in any direction. Lord of the Rings also revolves around the actions of individuals, which is what CKII is geared for. This first release starts in the year 3000 of the Third Age, which is shortly before Bilbo’s birthday party in the early part of Lord of the Rings. (Mod universes are apparently colliding!) Those include King Theoden of Rohan and Saruman of Isengard, but the factions also include Wulfgar Brynjarsson of Dunland, originally created in the Age of the Ring mod for Battle for Middle-earth. remember the exact name but theres this really sick lord of the rings mod for ck2. The first release of Realms of Exile focuses on three factions and playable leaders. So I just downloaded CK2, and Im looking for some pretty cool mods.

Luckily, the Crusader Kings 3 total conversion mods are starting to arrive, including The Lord of Rings: Realms of Exile, which eventually aims to make all of Middle-earth playable. Actual medieval history is great and all, but let’s be honest – a whole load of nerds, myself included, are more knowledgeable about Middle-earth and Westeros than historical Europe.
