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, centered around a new currency: "herd." The size of your herd directly impacts your authority, influencing military strength, cavalry composition, the dynamics of your relationships with subject lords, and other crucial aspects of gameplay.
The nomadic lifestyle necessitates constant movement, and this expansion reflects that reality. Your decisions will shape how you interact with settled populations—negotiation or forceful displacement will both be viable options, each with its own consequences.
Furthermore, players will command mobile yurts, transportable residences that function similarly to adventurer camps. These yurts can be upgraded with various components to provide significant advantages.
Finally, the expansion features iconic yurt towns, which nomadic rulers will carry with them on their migrations. These mobile settlements, mirroring the functionality of adventurer camps, can be upgraded with additional structures to enhance their functionality and benefits.
