Games Like Crusader Kings II - Legacy of Rome (2026)

Shared: Grand Strategy, DLC Expansion

Three distinct Legendary Lords, one massive free update, and a Slaanesh campaign that builds Pleasure Palaces and spends Decadence like a war economy. Tides of Torment is the strongest argument yet for staying in the Immortal Empires sandbox.

Shared: DLC Expansion

Sunset Harbor patches one of Cities: Skylines' longest-standing gaps - a working waterfront economy - and sneaks in the transport hub overhaul transit nerds have wanted since day one.

Shared: Grand Strategy

Over a decade old and still the benchmark for grand-strategy depth, EU4 rewards patience with hundreds of hours of alternate-history sandboxing, but the DLC catalog demands a plan before you open your wallet.

Shared: DLC Expansion

Tropico 6's ninth DLC asks whether El Presidente can save the planet he spent six games strip-mining. The Nature Value mechanic adds a real optimization layer, but the thin scenario content means returning players carry most of the weight.

Shared: Grand Strategy

Build legions, crush rivals, and micromanage an empire across one of the deepest turn-based/real-time hybrid strategy games set in antiquity. Rome wasn't built in a day, but you'll try anyway.
