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 societies. A new in-game currency, "herd," will serve as the primary measure of a ruler's power, significantly impacting military might, cavalry unit composition, relationships with vassals, and other core gameplay mechanics.
The nomadic lifestyle necessitates constant migration. A ruler's movements will be strategically influenced by choices: negotiating with settled populations or forcibly displacing them.
Furthermore, nomadic rulers will command transportable yurts, similar to the adventurer system. These yurts can be upgraded with various components offering unique advantages.
The expansion will also feature iconic yurt towns, mirroring the adventurer camp system. These mobile settlements can be enhanced with additional structures, each providing distinct benefits.
