Each of these roles have modifiers attached to them. It adds in 21 roles that can be granted to courtiers, these range from bodyguard through to court jester as well as adding in roles that specifically tie into a lot of the new mechanics. Both of these have been addressed with the new Royal Court DLC. One of the biggest things that didn’t make it through from CKII was the court and the extra roles for courtiers, another was the artefact system. But, some things were definitely missing, and Crusader Kings III: Royal Court is the start of filling in (and expanding beyond) those gaps. I was happily wrong, I’ve only booted CKII about four times since III launched, and a couple of those were simply for comparison’s sake. The visuals were bound to be vastly better, and a lot of the mechanics and designs were bound to be refined, but it felt incredibly obvious that a mass of content was going to be stripped out of the frankly bloated Crusader Kings II for launch. As such, I had middling expectations for Crusader Kings III. Crusader Kings II had been an experiment in expansion-pack led, live-product redesign for Paradox… in fact, it was a case of The Ship of Theseus, where almost every area of the original game had seen so many overhauls that a Day One player wouldn’t recognise the initial product - it was so different. Shape it as you see fit, or sow the seeds of change, and watch as one monolithic culture grows into a collection of many different people.When Crusader Kings III launched back in August 2020 it launched more feature-complete than I had originally expected.
