Crusader Kings III

Just announced at PDXCON.

Oh wow.

But will it be a mess like their most recent release.

Hoping they finally figure out how to make small states fun and viable. A hope in vain.

CK2 was the one game of theirs where I felt playing as a small Count or Duke was quite fun. Once I reached king level I would usually get bored.

I'm sure I'll get it in 10 years when it has had its twenty DLCs.

RPS have summarized the facts so far:

Also, screenshots.











I'm carefully optimistic about this. CK2 without expansions was great fun to play at launch (after EU3 and HoI3 I was ready to give up on Paradox altogether), and it's only gotten better since.

I guess they want to release Medieval: Total War?

Also, those character faces look unbelievably crappy.

My concern is that there's no way that the game won't feel incredibly barebones at launch compared to CK2+DLCs.

Map doesn't suck.

I guess that will depend on what new features will be added, and if they offer enough fun play mechanics. I don't expect that Muslims, Pagans, or Republics will be playable at launch, and I also expect India to not be part of the game.

Which one was that?

Map doesn't suck.

Put your glasses on, and look again.

I guess Scotland could use some mountains.
