Pair your faith with your actual Culture (which replaces the technology tree from previous games) and you’ll discover an abundance of diverse experiences. There are more religions than stars in the sky, and each comes with its own rules and doctrines that shape how a nation under their influence grows. Who would have thought marrying off my relatives for political power, and scheming to murder everyone (and I mean everyone) that stands in my way could be this fantastically fun?Ī nation can be Feudal, Clan, or Tribal and every culture has unique quarks that sell the more “historically” accurate aspects of the game. Now that I’ve spent the last week trying to conquer the medieval world I can confidently say this: Crusader Kings III has me hooked. Needless to say, when Crusader Kings III came up for review I jumped on the opportunity. That was about as far as my knowledge went, but thanks to Stellaris I wasn’t as daunted by the depth of grand strategy games as I was before. That, and everyone made sure I knew the games were always under-baked at launch. Swap the wider galaxy of Stellaris for the Medieval Era of the real world, mix in more robust political mechanics, and add a dash of wholesale baby murder. I’d heard about Crusader Kings before from a few of my online gaming communities, so I had a rudimentary understanding of the series’s concepts.
I wanted to try more of these games, and with Crusader Kings III around the corner I added it to my “games I am most certainly going to play this year” list. My first playthrough was a 24+ hour marathon – an endeavour I’d been unable to pull off without serious mental effort in over a decade. Granted, my first few hours with the game melted my brain into a bubbling mixture of gray matter and confusion, but the emergent storytelling captivated me in a way I hadn’t expected.
