Religions have Tenets, which are bonuses given to all practitioners of that faith, and Doctrines, which deal with the religion's stances towards issues like homosexuality and female clergy. Players may undergo pilgrimages and wage holy wars, and entire religions can be called to arms in crusades or jihads. Leaders can advance their goals by warfare, diplomacy, or subterfuge. Religion and culture are both aspects of the game. Players' realms may have the feudal, tribal, or clan government types. Each lifestyle has three skill trees that allow characters to enhance skills related to that lifestyle. Characters are able to select one of five lifestyles to follow. Characters are able to frighten their vassals into staying loyal by increasing their Dread, which increases when the character performs malevolent actions, such as executing or torturing other characters. The game's genetics system allows characters to pass on some of their characteristics to their descendants. Making choices that go against a character's traits will increase that character's stress. As in Crusader Kings II, they have traits that affect their stats and behavior. These character models can be customized with clothes and headwear by clicking the Barbershop button in the character menu. Ĭharacters have full-body, 3D-rendered character models instead of 2D portraits. For example, the heads of houses are responsible for legitimizing bastards. The heads of dynasties are able to use a new resource known as Renown to assert their control over their house. ĭynasties can form cadet branches that have their own heads and act mostly independently from their parent dynasty. Overall, players develop a dynasty over the centuries, with the game ending in 1453. Upon the death or deposition of a player's character they continue to play as that character's heir. Players begin as a character in either 867 or 1066. Like its predecessors Crusader Kings and Crusader Kings II, Crusader Kings III is a grand strategy game and dynasty simulator set in the Middle Ages. Interesting characters, noted by gaming media, include (clockwise from top left), King Sancho II 'the Strong' of Castile, Hastein of Montaigu, Duchess Matilda of Tuscany, Duke Rastislav of Moravia Zachlumia, which is on the coast of Croatia, has eight holding slots, which makes it a perfect county for playing tall.Players can select a variety of historical characters from either the 867 or 1066 start date. Aside from these places, any holding with four or more slots is ideal for playing tall since it allows the player to construct more holdings and buildings. Aside from that, mines generate massive amounts of gold and development, so any area with one is a good starting place. Cagliari and Thessalonika are especially great options due to their locations in Sardinia and the Byzantine Empire respectively. Starting in a secluded area of the map like Sardinia or Iceland is great for playing tall since there won't be a lot of conflicts. They should also have the funding for a truly regal royal court, which is available with CK3's newest expansion, Royal Court. Players can continue to play tall for as long as they want, but after a couple hundred years, they should be in a position to win most wars and generally achieve whatever goals they have for the campaign. If the player is having trouble with expansion, transitioning to a tall playstyle can help to prepare for future wars. Playing tall is a long-term strategy, so players should generally start using it at the beginning of a campaign, especially if they're under a strong liege. Which buildings to construct is up to player preference, but gold-generating buildings are always a good option. The player should also spend most of their money on constructing and upgrading buildings within their domain, and especially within their realm capital. Since there aren't any powerful vassals to worry about when it comes to granting council positions, the player is free to give it to whoever has the highest stewardship in their court. The player should always have their steward increase the development of their capital with the "increase development in county" councilor task. This will help generate some extra renown and guarantee a few extra alliances. If the player goes above that amount, they should consider gifting some titles away to dynasty members of the same religion and culture and then granting them independence. Generally, the domain won't be any larger than around five counties. Help from a spouse or a stewardship lifestyle can raise the domain limit, but for the purpose of playing tall, this isn't really necessary. The player's realm should never exceed their domain limit, which is the number of holdings they can possess at any point in time. As mentioned, playing tall centers around having a very small realm.
