Indeed. Crusader Kings takes place in the following periods (Note: I'm writing the periods as in CK2 terms):

Early Middle Ages (769-1095)

Reason: 769 is the start date, obviously in the early middle ages. 1095 is the year in where the First Crusade was declared. This marked the beginning of new knowledge in Western Europe because crusaders brought exotic food, goods and such into their countries from the Middle East.


High Middle Ages (1095-1347)

Reason: Crusades to the Black Death, which killed appr. 25% of Europe's population. Important because after this pandemic of Yersinia pestis, many people inherited things from their deceased family and thus became richer, and could begin to invest in a new future. And more of such aspects.


Late Middle Ages (1347-1453)

Reason: Black Death Aftermath to the Fall of Constantinople (and the end of the game).

And the start of EUIV.

According to Wikipedia, which is 10 times more accurate than anything Paradox publishes, states that the Early Middle Ages started at the fall of the Western Roman Empire and ran into the fraction of Carolingian Francia and the downfall of the classical Francian Empire as a power. 1001 marks the beginning of the High Middle Ages, and that runs until 1300, where the Late Medieval Age begins, and ends with the fall of Constantinople.

Kievan Rus is usually portrayed as a salmon-pink colour on historical maps. I thought about using Russian green but the Empire of Russia already uses it.

Wait. You can choose which color your new kingdom has in the update?

Ah, the Dark Age(Early Middle Age), begins at the beginning of the decline of the Roman Empire, not the fall.

Thanks! Also, Estonia is an independent country there, but Russia isn't, or at least not in control of Moscow? That officially would make it my favorite unplayed strategy game at the moment.
Edit: Is Livonia populated by, well, Livonians, too? That would make it even better.

Kievan Rus' was the predecessor to the Russian Monarchy. As for Livonia, they are indeed. Well, Balts. Since Livonians are Balts living in Estonian land.

Edit: sorry, that's wrong. They were Uralic peoples who lived in Baltic land, vice-versa from what I said.

Kievan Rus were founded by Scandinavians, specifically Swedish Vikings, though, weren't they? And Livonians are among the closest relatives of Estonians. Is that a mod, or something you can achieve in a normal game?

Off-note here:
If you find yourself talking with a Russian, don't mention the fact that their country was founded by Vikings, unless you are seeking for trouble.
I learned it the hard way.

Heh, I know that. They have their own theory for their origins for that reason.

By the way, I think Bojikami sometimes comes on this thread.
You should tell him that his nation was founded by thick-skulled pagan pillagers who used it as a roadside Starbucks.

I think it is like this

Europa Universalis Rome/ 280 b.c too 27 b.c Roman Empire Era

Crusader Kings II/ 1066 to 1453 Dark Ages or middle ages

Europa Universalis III/ 1399 to 1821 I think

Victoria II/ 1836 to 1836

Hearts of Iron III/ 1836 to 1948

all that is left is for them too make one for the modern era.

also a cold war era one other than Hearts of Iron Two DLC
