Republics, if you want to play as a wealthy merchant (and for all it's faults my favourite game). Raja's if you want to play in India (very interesting game)
Sword of Islam, if you want to play as Muslim If you plan to do so on CK2, there are only three DLCs that would call good to have.Ĭarlemagne so you can start at year 769 (earliest start), which is a very interesting and random game. Both are vast games, and you do not 'need' any DLCs to burn the next few hundred hours. I have found CK2 more fun, but each on their own. However they are VERY different games also.ĬK2 is more of a dynasty game, while EU4 is more of empire game.
