Perhaps some goods become available (but not mandated) by having enough development and the right technology. However, I suggest going a step beyond the earlier systems and allow for possible increased production of specific goods with specific buildings, the ability to change between goods production if the location allows (is it near a silver or iron deposit? Is it warm enough, cold enough, wet enough, dry enough, etc?). Now, given that the silk road brought the treasures of the East to the West and vice versa, it can institute something that exists in EUIV and I:R: specific goods. Armorless archers, but they are still desired.
China is special, but still there - you can theoretically conquer it, especially if it breaks into civil war and a change of dynasties.Ĭhina would, of course, guarantee several areas in central and southeast Asia - it's tributaries - but this also opens up Japan and Korea as playable areas - even if Samurai then didn't have the armor and katana we wish they did. A different AI will ensure that Chinese emperors, governors, and prefects are significantly less likely to start any wars, perhaps giving anyone but the Emperor and specific task forces to protect the border and help tributary states an inability to declare war at all, like stage 4 of crown authority. It seems the key here is to create special dynamics for China. CK2 included trade from China and some limited interaction, but not China itself in any meaningful way. I'm seeing this as a Silk Road expansion. My guess at why we don't have this in the base game is due to the overwhelming power of China in this era: it dominates East Asia and while EUIV had it, like the rest of the world, it also covered the time period where Britain was able to make inroads into controlling parts of China as well. When she's not doing that, you might find her running a tabletop RPG or two, perhaps even voluntarily.Well, I have seen questions about it, but not a thread about it.Ī long term expansion should add in East Asia, including Japan.

Crusader kings 3 expansion 1 series#
Crusader Kings 3 revamps its presentation for PS5 & Xbox Series X releaseĬat Bussell is a Staff Writer at TechRadar Gaming.Tours and Tournaments will bring me back into the game by doubling down on the story-driven shenanigans and political intrigue that make the game so memorable in the first place. Despite upsetting the course of history, my experience felt refreshingly grounded. I’ve not played Crusader Kings 3 in a while, but I have fond memories of taking over Italy while passing all my worst personal traits on to my daughter. Tours and Tournaments look like a perfect fit for this formula. Crusader Kings 3 is no exception, offering a deeply customizable and eminently replayable experience that charmingly oscillates between grim machiavellian geopolitics and anachronistic absurdity. I have fond memories of taking over Italy while passing all my worst personal traits on to my daughter.īoth the previous Crusader Kings titles and their ambitious sci-fi strategy game Stellaris have shown that Paradox is extremely talented in this sort of game design. However, rather than make the events dull or excessively granular, Paradox seeks to use added realism to provide players with more decision points and agency in their games. As is par for the course with Crusader Kings, Paradox’s latest expansion seems dead set on adding more layers of realism to the experience.
