This adds more flavor to both your character’s personality and their realm. The throne room is a nice way to appreciate their appearance while also having a visual representation of their entire dynasty’s history through artifacts.Īnother new feature allows you to hold court every five years to interact with your subjects on a closer level by giving them the chance to petition you. Character creation in Crusader Kings 3 is extensive and you naturally become attached to your various rulers. On one hand, I’m not certain the new additions are significant enough to make it an essential purchase for everyone on the other hand, I don’t think I could ever go back to the vanilla base game after playing Royal Court because the roleplaying has so much more depth.įor example, there’s now a throne room that allows you to view your characters in 3D and spruce it up with artifacts you can either find or commission over the years, which offer gameplay buffs such as increasing your number of knights. This has left me conflicted on Royal Court as a whole. Instead it deepens the roleplaying even further by letting you get more personal with your ruler and their realm. Campaigns can’t even be won in the traditional sense because rather than having actual win conditions like other strategy games, your campaign simply ends after a specific year whether you won or lost is for you to decide.Ĭrusader King 3’s Royal Court expansion doesn’t change this formula. It’s this type of randomized and organic storytelling that makes Crusader Kings 3 such a superb RPG, one that prioritizes roleplaying over any of its other gameplay mechanics. None of this melodramatic soap opera was planned or scripted. A bar maiden I had taken as a lover during the Crusades outs our affair to the entire kingdom, which ruins my reputation as well as my marriage. My son and only heir is assassinated in a political scheme. I overreach my hand and start a war that demolishes my army and ruins me financially. I finally get my comeuppance after the end of the Crusades. I decide I want to hear from my subjects in an effort to placate my kingdom. Hired mercenaries are expensive, as it turns out, and resupplying my armies every month ensured that I hemorrhaged money faster than I could gain it. I’ve gone to war several times within the last decade to claim land I falsified titles for, and while I was victorious in all my battles, I put myself in quite a bit of debt.
