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

Paradox Interactive has revealed initial details about their upcoming Crusader Kings 3 expansion, centered around nomadic rulers. This DLC introduces a novel governance system specifically designed for nomadic peoples, incorporating a unique currency: "herd." The size of a ruler's herd directly influences their authority, impacting military might, cavalry unit composition, relationships with vassals, and other core gameplay mechanics.

The nomadic lifestyle necessitates constant migration, a key element reflected in the expansion. A ruler's movements will be determined by various factors, including diplomacy (negotiation) or forceful displacement of local populations.

Furthermore, players will manage transportable yurts, similar to adventurer camps. These yurts can be upgraded with components offering distinct advantages.

The expansion also introduces iconic yurt towns, mirroring the adventurer camp mechanic. These mobile settlements can be upgraded with additional structures, each providing unique benefits.
