Crusader Kings 3 s Royal Court DLC, announced just now during the PDXCON reveal stream, is all about being a king. You d think that was the case with Crusader Kings 3 anyway, given the game s title. But there s always room for more grandeur, and this expansion (the game s first, in fact, given that Northern Lords was dubbed a flavour pack ) will set out to deliver that - along with some correspondingly regal headaches to go with it.
As with most Paradox expansions, Royal Court will also ride onto your PC attended by a free patch. This free content will be no scurrying squire, however, dressed in tattered old sacks: it ll be a full overhaul of the game s culture system, which promises to make the dream of Viking Death Elephants real at last. I had a bit of a duck-billed chatypus with CK3 s game director, Alexander Oltner, to find out what exactly will be in this big golden bag.

Crusader Kings 3 is experiencing a flurry of activity with a double update today. First, there’s the free 1.3 patch, which adds some goodies to the political strategy game. The map now has a winter mode where players can choose to duel enemies to the death or first blood. Lovers and lords can now also write randomly generated poetry to one another.
The second, larger update is the Northern Lords flavor pack, which adds Norse-themed content to the game. Northern Lords is not as beefy as a new expansion, so it’s being sold for $6.99. The flavor pack adds new art for Norse characters including hairstyles, clothes, and beards that can be used during the character creation mode and new map models for units. There’s new music, and random Norse-inspired events will pop up among the usual rotation of schemes, betrayals, and murders.
