Nomad-Themed DLC: Crusader Kings 3 Devs' First Insights

Paradox Interactive has just lifted the veil on the latest expansion for Crusader Kings 3, spotlighting the dynamic world of nomadic rulers. This eagerly anticipated DLC introduces a groundbreaking governance system tailored specifically for nomadic societies, complete with a novel currency called "herd." This currency will play a pivotal role in shaping the ruler's authority and will have a significant impact on various gameplay mechanics, including military strength, the composition of cavalry forces, and the intricate relationships between lords and their subjects.

Central to the nomadic lifestyle is the constant need for movement. In the game, these migrations will be driven by a range of factors. Nomadic chieftains will have the option to either negotiate with local inhabitants or forcefully displace them to secure new territories for their people.

Adding to the nomadic experience, rulers will gain access to special yurts that can be transported across the map, much like the camps of adventurers. These yurts are not just mobile homes but can be upgraded with new components, each offering unique advantages to enhance the nomadic way of life.

A standout feature of this expansion is the introduction of iconic yurt towns. These mobile settlements, reminiscent of adventurer camps, can be carried by nomadic kings as they traverse the game world. These yurt towns can be further developed to include a variety of structures, each serving different purposes and adding depth to the nomadic experience.
