In turn, this lets you grow your own entirely fictitious societies and landmasses and watch them procedurally generate before your eyes.

Last year, Adam rightly compared yemmlie's work to Dwarf Fortress in that instead of portraying the world as we know it against what the history books might tell us, CK2 Generator spawns an entirely new history of humankind from scratch. A wild card, not in the sense that the CK2 Generator mod is temperamental, but that it's intentionally unpredictable. You'll have access assuming you own the game, so remember to sign in.

Much like the digital empires depicted in-game, many of its mods have risen and fallen since my last visit, however the following list sends the best into battle.

Crusader Kings 2 is (somehow) now five years old.
