Paradox Interactive has revealed the first details of their upcoming Crusader Kings 3 expansion, focusing on the unique challenges and opportunities of nomadic rulers. This DLC introduces a revolutionary governance system specifically designed for nomadic gameplay. Central to this system is a new currency: "herd." The size of your herd directly impacts your authority, influencing military strength, cavalry composition, relationships with your subjects, and other crucial aspects of gameplay.
The nomadic lifestyle necessitates constant movement, and this expansion accurately reflects that. Your decisions regarding relocation will be shaped by various factors, forcing you to choose between diplomacy and conquest as you interact with settled populations.
Furthermore, nomadic chieftains will command mobile yurts, much like the adventurer camps in the base game. These transportable yurts can be upgraded with new components offering significant benefits.
Adding another layer of depth, this DLC introduces iconic yurt towns that travel with the nomadic kings. Similar to adventurer camps, these settlements can be upgraded with additional structures, each providing distinct advantages and functionalities.
