The Nomads are Preparing to Make their Way to Crusader Kings III

Paradox Interactive revealed that they're currently working on the next chapter for Crusader Kings III. Chapter IV is all about the Khans of the Steppe. The first release is focused on the new Nomadic Government and the systems that support it. It's set to be released April 28.

The upcoming chapter is inspired by the nomadic peoples of the Eurasian Steppe. They'll be introducing mechanics that's sure to challenge players as they try to adapt a lifestyle that's dominated by the ebb and flow of the land's vitality. They'll also have to maintain herds and of course, establish dominance over the region by any means necessary.

Nomadic Government

One of the key features of the upcoming chapter is the addition of a nomadic government. You see, nomads don't live in a single static location. Instead, they've been historically known to travel across the steppe based on the climate and fertility. In a post, the development team shared that this experience is what they're working to recreate in Khans of the Steppe.

As nomads, players need to guide their people and herds across the region as they tap into the land's fertility for as long as it lasts. That means once resources run dry, it's time to migrate. Meanwhile, Chieftains have the ability to roam peacefully and try to negotiate with neighboring shepherds, or possibly seize new pastures by force.

The Herd

Players can also look forward to the new Herd system which represents horses, cattle, and overall strength when it comes to the steppe. This serves as the basis of diplomatic, martial, and economic actions. Players can use it to fuel their warbands or have it as currency during negotiations.

Crusader Kings III invites players to experience the drama and intrigue of the Middle Ages. In a saga that defies time, players need to strategically master a lot of skills that include diplomacy, warfare, and cunning politics, all to secure their dynasty’s place in history.

The opportunities in Crusader Kings III are indeed endless, especially with the wide range of dynamic events and life-altering decisions that’s customized to each character and situation. Get the game on Steam now.
