Buy Expansion - Crusader Kings II: The Reaper's Due PC

The Black Death ravages provinces, leaving devastation in its wake as lords barricade themselves in hilltop fortresses. In this strategy RPG simulation expansion for Crusader Kings II on PC, players manage epidemics through new mechanics like court physicians who diagnose and treat diseases, hospitals that curb outbreaks, and seclusion to shield the court from plague. Prosperity blooms in well-tended lands with boosted wealth and manpower, while war and unchecked illness trigger depopulation. Track disease spread via a dedicated map mode, unlock new physical traits and event chains, and balance revenues from healthier years against the Reaper's toll. These systems deepen medieval realm management for strategy enthusiasts who relish simulating societal pressures and long-term consequences.

Little remains of those settlements where the Black Death has passed through. Hasty burials make a mockery of the sacraments and set a feast for the crows. Once prosperous provinces have been laid waste, and the lord of the land hides away – secluded in his hilltop fortress, hoping the plague will pass him by. Wiser princes took precautions, and didn’t waste the revenues from more prosperous years.
But, in time, all must pay The Reaper’s Due.

The Reaper’s Due adds a host of new mechanics centered on the Black Death and other world shaping epidemics. Lock your gates to keep the plague from infecting your court, even if it means cutting yourself off from your suffering citizens. Peace and good management will see your provinces reward you with greater wealth and manpower, but constant war and disease may depopulate your countryside.
