With over a million copies sold, Crusader Kings II is arguably one of the most successful titles from Paradox. Even though the game has a Linux and an OS X version, Crusader Kings 2 Cheat Engine hacks are more interested in the Microsoft Windows build since this is where the majority of the Cheat Engine tables thrive.

Since Crusader Kings 2 is a single player game, you don’t really have to worry about bans or anything when implementing any kind of cheats and hacks.

The first step would be grabbing your copy of Cheat Engine and familiarizing yourself with how the open cheat engine works. You will find our introductory guide to the engine quite useful.

Once you have the Cheat Engine up and running, launch your game and use the ALT+TAB command to bring up Cheat Engine. Go ahead and select the game’s .exe and load a specific cheat table to activate the cheat table effects.
