The next expansion for Paradox Interactive's strategy title, Crusader Kings II, is due on November 18, and the latest batch of content is religiously themed. Sons of Abraham allows players to pursue three possible religions; Christianity, Islam and Judaism.
"Plunge into the powerful and profitable world of Papal politics, appointing your bishops, gaining influence with the College of Cardinals and reap the rewards of the Pope's money and favours. Show your devotion with the Holy Orders; their clout will come in handy when you want to expel troublesome relatives to a monastery! Pick sides of the Islamic debate, choosing to follow the rationalist Mutazili or opposing Ashari or play as a Jewish lord and restore the Kingdom of Israel. Crusader Kings II: Sons of Abraham features hundreds of new religious events no matter what doctrine you follow!"
This latest expansion is the fifth to land for the strategy game which tasks players with guiding their dynasty through a turbulent period of European history. You can read last year's review here if you like.
