Description

Paradox Development Studio brings you the sequel to one of the most popular strategy games ever made. Crusader Kings III is the heir to a long legacy of historical grand strategy experiences and arrives with a host of new ways to ensure the success of your royal house.

HISTORY


- Choose a royal or noble house from a number of realms on a map that stretches from Iceland to India, from the Arctic Circle to Central Africa.
- Guide a dynasty through the centuries, ensuring the security and power of each new generation. Gather new lands and titles to cement your legacy.
- Be a pious king to bring the religious powers to your side, or strike out on your own, designing your own splinter religion and earning everlasting fame or eternal damnation.
- Knights, peasant revolts, pilgrimages, Viking raiders...experience the drama and pageantry of the Middle Ages.

CHARACTER


- Adopt one of five different lifestyles, perfecting your skills in military strategy or kingdom management.
- Acquire character traits that will guide your actions, but beware if you act against your nature! The stress from denying your truest self could bring a new host of troubles!
- Choose appropriate guardians for your heirs, or train them yourself. But what do you do if the legal heir is not quite up to the job?
- Violent characters may develop a fearsome reputation, cowering your timid subjects into obedience with the dread you inspire.

WARFARE


- Recruit man-at-arms units and powerful knights to supplement your royal levies.
- Research new technologies to increase the wealth and military might of your realm.
- Hire mercenaries and Holy Orders for your major wars.
- Supplement your income with ransomed prisoners or raiding parties on neighboring realms.

INTRIGUE


- Use your spymaster to discover plots against your dynasty and your rule.
- Recruit agents to assist your schemes to undermine or murder anyone who stands between you and power.
- Seduce other characters for love or political power.
- Gather information for blackmailing purposes or call in favors whenever your plans need an extra bit of influence.

    Event-clicking simulator*****

    There's some gameplay here, sadly 90% of what you do in the game is 1, click away events you've already seen before or that really has no bearing or importance as to who your character is, most of which are kinda silly. 2. Choose accolades for or click in a new knight for your roster.

    I don't really feel immersed when I'm playing the game, and while there's some good stuff in there, the spending so much time doing the 2 things mentioned up there just drags the whole experience into the dirt for me (And I've really, really tried to enjoy it as I am generally a big fan of paradox's stuff).

    Crusader Kings III is a great game!*****

    I've played this on and off since release (and is now buying it for a friend), and there's so many quality of life changes made in this game compared to CKII. It's also very newbie friendly compared to its predecessor, which makes it great for people who haven't played Paradox titles before!

    A Masterpiece of Medieval Strategy*****

    Crusader Kings III is a true gem in the world of grand strategy games. Paradox Interactive has outdone themselves with this latest installment in the CK series. With its intricate web of dynastic politics, unparalleled depth, and a stunning attention to detail, this game stands as a beacon of excellence in the genre.
