wolfsite: Thanks for the free game, that is a lot of dlc.
True, however less than Europa Universalis 4 lol
Should probably update the store card for the Royal collection. Almost $60 and I have no clue which DLC is included ,,,

karnak1: Took your sweet little time, didn't you, Paradox? Quite overdue.

Anyways, it's good to finally see CK2 here. Keep sending us good surprises, GOG, and I may even reward your kindness with a Cyberpunk DLC pre-order.

Now, if only we could have a surprise "Total War" release (one can dream)...
With CA wanting you to use their launcher, even through steam, it's probably a no go.
Why is Imperial Collection or Royal Collection listed with Mac and Linux support, and base game is Windows only? Will it change in the future?

EDIT: Nevermind, I was wrong.
--------------------------
There is a DLC tab you can open on the product page which lists all the DLCs you get. On a phone that is.

On PC just check the bottom right of the screen, the DLC section is there, you just have to scroll down.

But yeah, it should also probably be in the description.

User friendly this ain't... already own them all on Steam...

That's the available DLC not included DLC. These are listed on every edition, including the free basic one.

Oh, I see. Then yes, it should absolutely be listed in the description.

There's also an imperial edition lol. Judging by the price, it should be the most complete, but again, who knows. Very bad description.
high rated
Regarding Knights of Honor, GOG actually put effort into this one compared to the Steam version. It includes the 1.05 patch that the Steam version is missing, and the DirectDraw wrapper is included (but not necessary for most systems in this game). Gotta call it a W when it's a W.

It is. The Imperial Edition is the one with all content, Royal Edition on Steam is the one with just the major expansions.

Just placed the order on the Imperial Collection.

It doesn't include Mac or Linux installers as of now. Talk about false advertising...
Well, I finally got the base game DRM-free (and actually for free XD), so I can't complain, but boy I had forgotten just how insane the DLCs prices were. It will be a while before I get all of the important ones, I can't bring myself to burn this much money on a game I already played, at least not all at once.
As someone who has never followed CK 2, my questions are:

1. How come you can only play to 1453? Seems like it would be a better game if it let you play longer too.

2. What DLCs, exactly, does one need in order to make it be the best version of the game?
I love CK2 but that list of DLC is killing me. Nice to see Knights of Honor 1 on GOG now.

Typical Paradox with their ~30 DLCs for all games. Still though... better have them on GOG than not have them.
