Paradox Interactive has revealed initial details about their upcoming Crusader Kings 3 expansion, focusing on the unique gameplay of nomadic rulers. This DLC introduces a revolutionary governance system specifically designed for nomadic peoples, centered around a new currency: "herd." The size of a ruler's herd directly impacts their authority and influences numerous aspects of gameplay, including military might, cavalry unit composition, relationships with vassals, and other crucial mechanics.
The nomadic lifestyle necessitates constant movement, and the expansion reflects this. A ruler's migrations will be driven by various factors, requiring them to either negotiate peacefully with settled populations or forcibly displace them.
Adding a unique strategic layer, nomadic rulers will command transportable yurts, similar to adventurer camps. These yurts can be upgraded with various components, each offering distinct advantages.
Furthermore, the DLC introduces iconic yurt towns that nomadic kings transport with their armies, mirroring the functionality of adventurer camps. These mobile settlements can be upgraded with additional structures, each providing unique benefits and expanding their functionality.
