Story

Crusader Kings 2: Jade Dragon does not feature a story. As a sandbox grand strategy game, CK II allows you to write your own history as you play.

Gameplay

Crusader Kings 2: Jade Dragon does not change the gameplay of the base game in a significant way, but it adds numerous convenient features and new content to the existing game and brings interest to the offscreen area often skipped by players who usually focus on Western Europe. 

Among the notable features it’s worth to mention new interactions with the Chinese Empire and the possibility to become its tributary. It’s also possible to find new powerful Chinese artifacts and explore the new Silk Road system. The gameplay is further improved with features available even outside of East Asia, such as the Rally Point that helps to gather all levies in one place, or eight new Cassus Bellis to make it easier to find a proper reason to declare war without penalties.

Reception

CK2 Jade Dragon received positive reviews with reviewers praising its focus on improving East Asia gameplay by adding more interactions with the Chinese Empire. They appreciated the introduction of several new Casus Bellis and a Silk Road overhaul. They also noted new Chinese artifacts, and the addition of Rally Points, making managing large armies of levies much easier.

Key features:

• Collect new Chinese artifacts for powerful bonuses they provide and grow your Chinese Empire
• Make use of 8 new Cassus Bellis
• Utilize Rally Points to easily gather all of your levies in one place
