Paradox Interactive released Crusader Kings II to some critical acclaim, certainly if you watch its 83 Metacritic rating. The PC strategy title explores the deep tactical history of Medieval Europe, the same way classics like Europa Universalis and such have been doing for a while now. Not surprisingly, this title comes from the same makers. Crusader Kings II has now  announced its Ruler Designer DLC to come out on April 17, 2012.

With a strange nickel and dime effort, the content’s sole purpose is to modify your ruler’s appearance or coat of arms. But perhaps more importantly, you can also create customized dynasties with your own statistics, trailer and family size. That would be the pitch to have here, given its price is set at $4.99. It’s a bit steep, but perhaps fans might enjoy being able to finally rule their lands exactly like they would want to.
