An immersive roleplay & hardcore collection for Crusader Kings II, built around challenge, realism, and atmosphere.
This pack reworks almost every element of the game and is best suited for players who want a difficult, punishing, and story-driven medieval experience.

⚔️ Core Foundations

The collection is based on some of the most important mods in the community:

🛠 Unofficial Patch – fixes and improvements across the game.

🏙 Cities of Wonder 3 – unique, monumental buildings and wonders.

🎨 Medieval Arts – improved art, events, and immersion.

🌍 RICE (Regional Immersion and Cultural Enrichment) – rich cultural and regional flavor.

👤 Ethnicities & Portraits Expanded (EPE) – deeper diversity of portraits.

🎭 Community Flavor Pack (CFP) – authentic clothing and visual immersion.

⛪ Old Gods Expanded – expanded pagan and early medieval flavor.

🌑 Dark Ages – a harsher, more brutal medieval world.

Together, these mods create a world that feels alive, immersive, and ruthlessly challenging.

🏰 Gameplay & Challenge

The collection focuses on difficulty and survival.

Playing as small realms in the early game can be especially punishing.

Every choice matters – diplomacy, economy, and war are all riskier and more demanding.

⚠️ Stability & Updates

Some mods currently require updates and have been temporarily disabled until new versions are released.

The collection itself is fully playable, though minor bugs may occur.

This is partly due to developers of certain core mods not yet updating their work for the latest DLC.

⚠️ The latest DLC is not recommended for use with this collection – it is poorly optimized, buggy, and does not integrate well.

🌙 Optional Content

Includes the Supernatural module for those who want a touch of fantasy.

⚠️ If enabled, you must disable Better Barber (incompatible).

📂 Installation

You can download a ready-to-use file here:

Simply add it as a collection in the CK2 launcher, and the game will automatically download everything in the correct order.

🔧 Work in Progress

This is an evolving collection – new mods are added, broken ones are fixed or replaced, and everything is kept as stable as possible.
It is not a casual setup – this is for players ready to embrace the brutal trials of the Middle Ages.
