good job paradox??? this should be the bare minimum. this says a lot about paradox players.

[@rjsmind]

This is one of those games that you let sit in your library for a couple of years and when you play it again it feels like an actual sequel

[@kollo3869]

I wonder if that has anything to do with Paradox releasing new content for the game in a, previously not-seen, slow release rate.

[@Sabersquirl]

I play it for a couple hundred hours with each expansion, come back each year to try the new content and achievements. Definitely a worthy successor so far, I am excited to see what else they come up with for the future.

[@FunnyDude119]

I guess if you wanna pay 80 dollars for all the dlc the moment you come back. I’d say that’s kinda just the same as buying a new game.😂😂

Snap with the official collab, congratulations man, you were always the best content for this game. Always happy to see you’re at it and thriving!

[@chrisrudolf9839]

A small correction: Selecting an intent for your hunt or feast activities seems not to be part of the base game. The tab to select an intent is there, but you are stuck with the intent "recreation" as the only option, you probably need the tours and tournaments expansion for having the full selection of possible intents. Still a great update though, the new features are a lot of fun and add a lot of interesting possibilities.

[@ellzbreaux]

My body is ready

[@Quarks123]

Excellent decision to make Snap Strategy introduce the new update.

[@geo24793]

Honestly very hyped for this DLC and update - genuinely all seems great! I'm holy fury levels of hype!

[@mzvonv428]

I have my birthday on may 12, this is more than I could ask for. Thanks, Paradox!

[@duyanhdo2777]

So basically the maa station just mean they will get boosted if you stationed them there or they will participated in defense and deal more damage to the enemy too? I personally think that siege warfare in this game need to be developed so no only the besiegers are attacked by attrition but by the defenders' skirmishes too. I did like the stances and the regency, it will help shape the real point of view of a medieval world. Thank you for the free update, just a few words from a guy feeling boring after 500hrs of playtime and never get deposed :DD

[@Vengar14]

That's a lot of free stuff, exciting! (I already got the season pass though haha)

[@danny8231]

I only have one more wish for this dlc. And thats squires, the ability to have young boys in your court that are special to you for some reason Making them a squire so they can become one of your knights when they grow up. Now I usually lose sight of the kids because when there stats suck they get used for breeding only. Edit: jeeyz guys, Some of you made me laugh and I realise my words chosen are maybe not the smartest but I will stick with it.

[@flanthemanable]

Every part of your comment sounds completely messed up. Read it out loud. You sound like a pdf- file.

[@sizanogreen9900]

That seems more in the area of Wards & Wardens to me.

[@TheKillaShow]

You can just do this yourself in game right now.

[@hueylongdong347]

Squires sounds something that Wards & Wardens DLC will do.

[@MunchKING]

They have a button to put people important to you (of any age or gender, not just young boys) onto the list so you can check on them at any time and not forget them.

[@omairshafiq1998]

Woah that's actually amazing

[@VanCrayden]

We are waiting!!!

[@roberthudson3386]

Random observation, one thing CK3 needs to improve is how the game and characters look in different eras. Each of the eras should have distinct armour and clothing fitting to that historical era. In 867 mail is fine, but in 1400 nobility should be wearing full plate armour. Also in 867 the castle backgrounds in the menu screen should in most capitals be wooden forts with some banners, but as the fort level increases this should change to a stone castle and become grander with each upgrade to the realm capital.

[@PercivalC]

Really fantastic additions!

[@Carinthian_Oak]

Looking forward to the coming weekend.

[@LaFonteCheVi]

The economic view is a godsend.

[@ThePhil344]

Regency will be amazing for people who want to play as loyal vassals!

[@JomaroTV]

i cant wait 4 days please release ASAP.

[@bigpig8057]

I wonder if we can use hooks to became regent, because I'm pretty interested in being a vassal ruling from the shadow.

[@lolihitler4198]

itll be great to finally have vassal gameplay that isnt "oh hey my army is bigger than my liege's now guess ill take his title and start playing the game for real"

[@ThomasWarhammer]

I reallly hope we get an unlanded DLC one day, being able to start from nothing or recover if you've lost everything, serving as a knight or councilor, rising through the ranks of a ruler's court.

[@ThomasWarhammer]

@@bigpig8057 I don't really think that's a big deal, the DLC could just ask the player whether they want to start over or continue as an unlanded noble.

[@informitas0117]

There was a mod like that in CK2, probably will be/is one for CK3. It's a pretty boring playstyle.

[@bigpig8057]

@@ThomasWarhammer I agree with that, could be an option, but my comment was more about the Devs "vision" of the game. I don't think they're ever going to add that mode, but I guess everything is possible.

a lot of content for free awesome!

[@mindyabizniz]

sick

[@TheElMuffin]

I wonder if the update will affect teleportation for army commanders and knights. I would argue that travelling around your realm should not need a regent, since the ruler can bring the court with them. Going on pilgrimages and commanding armies, or otherwise leaving the realm, should definitely require regency.

[@briitash]

We need a diet and disease update that focuses on character health, improving their health and lifestyle to live longer, or sabotaging that of your rivals to have them die sooner. The main things that should be included are: . Add decision to pursue exercise to gain the athletic outcome, the success of which is influenced by traits and prowess. This can trigger events such as mounted horse exercise, sparring that can fail an result in getting maimed, hiking/long walks that increase hostile scheme success chances, wrestling with freinds, etc. . Add decision to study disease. This can trigger events such as inviting sick peasants into the castle for you and your physician to study to gain piety, forcefully kidnapping peasants to experiment on to gain dread, having witches/spymasters turn up offering medicines/potions/poisons, sending courtiers infected with diesease to courts of rivals, flinging diseased bodies into rivals realms to start an outbreak to cause unrest/control lose with the risk of it spreading to their court or even into your realm. This could all be impacted by a characters traits, learning, cultural traditions etc.

[@Sliferv2]

Could have a DLC for trade routes / merchants to give us more ways to earn gold, prestige, besides of other ways to spending it, and new mechanics and strategies to do more than wars ...

[@Revens1]

Maybe they'll do somthing like that with a Merchant republic dlc like in ck2? can hope

[@12Prophet]

Hey Paradox, shot in the dark question but uh... Are we gonna see Nomadic hordes (Horse Lords of CK2) or merchant republic style factions in the near future? Eagerly awaiting both. Please take my money.

This 1000%. Will wait for the update to come out but from what I've seen this is exactly the kind of game changes I was hoping for in the sequel. I remember giving a Steam review when CK3 first came out that the original release was essentially a graphics updated CK2 - an update like this was exactly what I hoped for that would give reason for CK3 to really bring new life to the series.

[@Dnvr4ever]

Vassal stances is a step in the right direction for an overall improvement of the game. I mean, every gameplay, regardless of culture, religion or government has vassals Now they really need to rework claimants and succession. Having two or more siblings competing for a title should automatically trigger factions, where vassals choose who to support, maybe because they like one over the other, maybe because one promised more favors in exchange for their support. This is one way to actually empower vassals too. The mod Back me Up has the right idea Succession crisis were so commonplace during the period, and they are the lamest thing in CK3.
