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, featuring a new currency: "herd." This "herd" currency will be pivotal, directly influencing a ruler's authority and impacting key gameplay aspects such as military might, cavalry unit composition, and the dynamics of lord-subject relationships.
The nomadic lifestyle necessitates constant movement, a core element of this expansion. A chieftain's migratory patterns will be determined by various factors, including diplomatic negotiations with settled populations or, alternatively, forceful displacement.
Furthermore, players will manage transportable yurts, similar to the adventurer's camp mechanic. These yurts can be upgraded with various components, each offering unique advantages.
The expansion also incorporates iconic yurt towns, mirroring the adventurer's camp system. These mobile settlements, carried by nomadic kings, can be enhanced with additional structures to broaden their functionality.
