Paradox Interactive has revealed initial details about their upcoming Crusader Kings 3 expansion centered on nomadic rulers. This DLC introduces a revolutionary governance system tailored for nomadic peoples, incorporating a novel currency: "herd." This "herd" currency directly influences a ruler's authority and impacts various gameplay aspects, such as military might, cavalry unit composition, the dynamics of lord-subject relationships, and other core game mechanics.
The nomadic lifestyle necessitates constant relocation. A chieftain's movements will be determined by strategic decisions, such as negotiating with settled populations or forcibly displacing them.
Furthermore, rulers will command transportable yurts, similar to the adventurer's camp mechanic. These yurts are upgradeable with components offering various advantages.
The expansion also includes iconic yurt towns that nomadic kings transport, mirroring the adventurer's camp system. These mobile settlements can be enhanced with additional structures, each providing unique benefits.
