Crusader Kings 3 Devs Share Initial Insights on Nomad-Themed DLC

Paradox Interactive has revealed the first glimpse 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 life, centered around a new currency: "herd." The size of your herd directly impacts your authority, influencing military strength, the composition of your cavalry units, the loyalty of your subjects, and other crucial aspects of gameplay.

The nomadic lifestyle necessitates constant movement, and this expansion accurately reflects that. Your decisions will dictate how you interact with settled populations, choosing between negotiation and forceful displacement to secure resources and territory.

Adding another layer of depth, nomadic chieftains will command mobile yurts, transported much like an adventurer's camp. These yurts are upgradable, allowing players to customize them with components that offer significant advantages.

Further enhancing the nomadic experience, this DLC introduces iconic yurt towns that travel alongside the ruler. Similar to adventurer camps, these settlements can be upgraded with additional structures, providing a range of benefits and functionality.
