Heathenous Ways | Let's Play Crusader Kings II: Holy Fury as Germanic Pagan Sweden Part 7
1Starting as Erik the Heathen, I will restore the old ways to the Kingdom of Sweden. Going for the Heathenous Ways achievement, this may be a bit of a mini-campaign, but I may also continue it if it's popular.
In this episode, I seek to cement my hold on the throne of Sweden and secure myself an heir.
About Crusader Kings II:
The Dark Ages might be drawing to a close, but Europe is still in turmoil. Petty lords vie against beleaguered kings who struggle to assert control over their fragmented realms. The Pope calls for a Crusade to protect the Christians in the Holy Land even as he refuses to relinquish control over the investiture of bishops - and their riches. Now is the time for greatness. Expand your demesne and secure the future of your dynasty. Fill your coffers, appoint vassals, root out traitors and heretics, introduce laws and interact with hundreds of nobles, each with their own agenda.
A good lord will always need friends to support him. But beware, as loyal vassals can quickly turn to bitter rivals, and some might not be as reliable as they seem... Stand ready, and increase your prestige until the world whispers your name in awe. Do you have what it takes to become a Crusader King?

About Holy Fury:
Christ may rule in Rome and Constantinople, but Northern Europe is still home to the old gods of war and the hearth. These faiths will collide in fierce combat as the Prince of Peace brings conversion by the sword, and Gods of Nature demand unnatural sacrifices as the price of their favor.
