Crusader Kings III Standard Edition Steam Account
Crusader Kings III features the largest map in the series, spanning from Iceland to Central Africa. Furthermore, the world will also be much more detailed and filled with more settlements and counties. Each of these has its own counties that you will be able to besiege and conquer.
Characters and Dynasties
The game not only provides players with portraits of specific characters (such as the rulers of the kingdoms), but also full 3D figures. Each character also has its own set of features. The game also implements basic genetics so that parents can pass some of these traits on to their children. Many traits can be both more positive and negative, which can affect the character's relationships with others. Furthermore, choosing a dynasty also involves choosing the main character's lifestyle. There are five types of lifestyles to choose from. Each of them offers players three separate skill trees, so a total of 15 different ways to shape their lifestyle. For example, our leader may prefer to seek knowledge, while the "Science" lifestyle will allow him to focus on medicine, science or theology.
Dynasties are now a collection of separate Houses, which is also a difference from the previous game. Houses are called "Cadet Squads" and should work together for the glory of the entire dynasty. The game allows you to create your own Cadet Squads, and the head of the most powerful House in a Dynasty will become the Dynasty (of course the entire Dynasty). Being the Head of a House gives you several new options, such as legitimizing bastards, declaring war on other Houses, etc. Of course, becoming a Dynasty gives you access to even more options, as such individuals have control over all the Heads of Houses in their Dynasty.
Religion
Crusader Kings 3 also has an extensive religion mechanic. There are many playable religions and they all have their own distinct Principles that provide certain bonuses to all followers of a religion. Doctrines, on the other hand, are more holistic and indicate a particular church's point of view on various issues (such as celibacy among clergy). The most interesting thing is that players have the ability to choose their own doctrines and thus create heresies. The more changes one wants to make to their religious system, the more Piety it will cost. Of course, there are different ways to generate Piety.
Warfare and Armies
Any army at the beginning of its operations in CK III will certainly consist of lefties and armies. Lefties are the most basic type of units available in the game and depend on the setting you choose. The people-armies are the more versatile and robust part of the army, while the lefties complement it. Besides these two basic unit types, the game offers a lot more diverse units such as cavalry and infantry, as well as knights. Knights are the most perfect type of soldiers. Their strength is so great that 20 knights can be equivalent to about 200 levies. Knights are basically characters that we choose from our kingdom. However, in order for a character to become a knight, there are certain combat skill requirements that the character must meet. In addition, the game offers features such as buying prisoners of war, hiring mercenaries and plundering the territories of neighboring kingdoms with raids. Last but not least is the ability to hire orders for some of the major wars our kingdom is involved in (as the title of the series suggests).
