Crusader Kings III

Paradox Development Studio presents the sequel to one of the most popular strategy games in history. Crusader Kings III will be a full-fledged successor to our long tradition of historical strategies: players will find many new ways to ensure the prosperity of their line.

HISTORY

• Choose a royal or simply noble family from one of the many countries – the new map stretches from Iceland to India and from the Arctic Circle to Central Africa.
• Guide your dynasty through the centuries and ensure the safety and power of each generation. Expand your domain and pass on new titles to your heirs.
• Show piety and enlist the support of god-fearing monarchs, or create your own religion and earn eternal glory – or be eternally damned.
• Knights, peasant rebellions, pilgrimages, Viking raids… The dramatic and magnificent Middle Ages await you.

CHARACTERS

• Choose one of five lifestyles and improve your military or public administration skills.
• Develop character traits that will influence your behavior, and think three times before going against your own nature! Denying your own essence is a lot of stress, and such a decision can cost you dearly!
• Select suitable mentors for your heirs or raise them yourself. By the way, what will you do if the legal heir leaves much to be desired?
• Cruel characters can gain a sinister reputation and force timid vassals to submit through fear.

WARS

• Recruit levies and hire strong knights to raise a powerful army.
• Research new technologies to strengthen the financial well-being and military might of your state.
• Wage large-scale wars with mercenaries and holy orders.
• Increase income by demanding ransom for valuable prisoners and plundering neighboring lands.

INTRIGUES

• Uncover conspiracies against your dynasty and you personally with the help of the head of the spy service.
• Hired agents will help to undermine the situation and even kill those who stand between you and power.
• Seduce other characters – for love or influence.
• The information you collect will help you out when you need blackmail, and those you once met halfway will help you implement an important plan.
