Paradox Interactive has revealed initial details about their upcoming Crusader Kings 3 expansion, centered around nomadic rulers. This DLC introduces a revolutionary governance system specifically designed for nomadic peoples. A new in-game currency, "herd," will be the cornerstone of a ruler's authority, significantly impacting military might, cavalry unit composition, vassal relationships, and other core gameplay mechanics.
The nomadic lifestyle necessitates constant movement, a key element reflected in the expansion. Chieftains will strategically relocate their tribes, influenced by their interactions with settled populations – choosing between negotiation and forceful displacement.
Furthermore, players will manage transportable yurts, similar to adventurer camps. These yurts can be upgraded with various components offering substantial benefits.
Crucially, nomadic rulers will also command iconic yurt towns, mirroring the portable settlements of adventurers. These mobile settlements can be enhanced with additional structures, each providing unique advantages.
