Paradox Interactive has just lifted the veil on the exciting new expansion for *Crusader Kings 3*, which dives deep into the world of nomadic rulers. This eagerly anticipated DLC introduces a unique governance system tailored specifically for nomadic societies, revolutionizing how these groups operate within the game. A new currency, aptly named "herd," takes center stage in this expansion, serving as the backbone of a nomadic ruler's authority. The "herd" currency doesn't just symbolize wealth; it's intricately woven into the fabric of gameplay, affecting everything from military strength and cavalry composition to the delicate balance of lord-subject relations and beyond.
The essence of nomadism—constant movement—is captured brilliantly in this expansion. Nomadic chieftains will navigate the ever-changing landscape, driven by a variety of factors. They'll have the option to negotiate peacefully with local populations or, if necessary, forcefully displace them to secure new territories. This dynamic adds a layer of strategic depth, making every decision critical to the survival and prosperity of the nomadic empire.
One of the standout features of this expansion is the introduction of special yurts. These mobile dwellings can be transported just like an adventurer's camp, offering rulers a home away from home. But these aren't just ordinary tents; they can be upgraded with various components, each unlocking unique benefits that enhance the ruler's capabilities and the overall nomadic experience.
Adding to the immersive nomadic lifestyle, the expansion introduces iconic yurt towns. These are not stationary settlements but mobile communities that nomadic kings can carry with them on their journeys, much like adventurer camps. These yurt towns can be upgraded to include a range of additional structures, each serving specific functions that contribute to the growth and sustainability of the nomadic realm.
