Sometimes you just gotta cheat, and Sketchy's mod is here for you. You can then play up to the normal end date of 1453, almost a millennium of Crusader Kings 2! The mod can be found on Paradox’s official forums or the Steam Workshop. This is where When The World Stopped Making Sense steps in: The mod follows the migratory period following the collapse of the Western Roman Empire in 476, and allows players to choose a starting date any time between 476 and the year 600. A copy of Crusader Kings 2 with the Charlemagne DLC allows gamers to play from 769 all the way up to 1453, but some history buffs may be interested in an even earlier starting date.
