"Head out after losing all of your land", forgive me, but does this mean unlanded gameplay will soon be a reality? I cannot wait

[mdc-vv]

You guys listened. Bravo. Plague spreading, mythology and legends using custom flavor text, legitimacy (which plays well into the other core systems) and (I hope) wandering nobles gives us the ability to play as unlanded? I'm actually excited about all the RP and modding potential.

This might be the best year for CK3 content hands down

[stevencoffey]

"Hey boss, how many different angles do we need to shoot for Mr Otner?"

"All of them. And make sure most of them he's not looking at the camera."

[Soul_Tomato]

This looks like the best content for CK3 we’ve gotten yet. Absolutely thrilled for this year :)

[ghastlyghandi]

Can you add fully animated sex scenes pls, I have only played paradox games for all my life and I forgot what sex looks like I need to be reminded 🥺

Edit: idk how this could be top comment but I’m touched and flattered, as well as a little bit ashamed. Like the stuff announced here is actually pretty cool and here’s me asking for sex scenes 💀

[faiasl]

roads to power is literally something i was thinking of when i saw one of my family members head out to be a mercenary leader having great adventures while i just ruled my empire being annoyed with revolts and crusades

[SeanSmith]

"Just when I thought I was out...they pull me back in!"

[Chenzihaha]

Omg. Did anyone realize being able to still play as ‘LANDLESS’ just imagine the roleplaying you could do and mods that will be available because of this being an official dlc???? Remember rise to power mod in ck2?

Let me just say this. Im happy to be alive. I was just waiting for gta 6 now paradox released this teaser.

Pressing f to all brothers who didnt make it this year

[koob]

from this thumbnail/video image I predicts the following:

first DLC Fabrics of Nobility (introduces new fabric textures, a fabric designer like the dynasty shield designer)

second DLC Wrinkles and Twinkles (this one introduces new dynamic cloth and outfit simulation built from the ground up (a massive undertaking), Ray tracing and DLSS/FSR )

third DLC Bears of the Urals flavor pack ( we picked this one because it's the least requested Flavor pack, it features new clothing, music and mechanics for Finno-Ugric and Volga-Ural cultures, the new mechanic is a new type of Hunt that lets you catch many animals at once for the purpose of selling them, it's a new way to make money in an otherwise barren part of the map)

[GamerGateVeteran]

Legendary Chapter right here. So excited for the possibilities both the vanilla content AND the possible mods building off these changes, will have in store for us.
Top notch content from the CKIII team, as usual. There is a reason CKIII was the first game to finally replace EUIII/IV as my favorite, and these absolute BANGERS are why.

[rustbucket]

Utterly minor thing here, but when they zoomed out during the disease map, we saw that they've set to adding a new background behind the map

[MaXiMoS]

Merchant Republics + Trade, Secret Societies from ck2 really need to come back

[FACM.]

Yes, Byzantine DLC! Also I'm interested about the Wandering nobles event pack. I hope it adds adventurers like in ck2, relatives who invade you to conquer your land via claim or something.

[TThompson]

Chapter 3 is secured. PDX if you need someone to test let me know.

[Hespi.]

Hopefully one of these:
- playable unlanded characters
- playable republics
- playable theocratic families(?)
- imperial mechanics
- Asia expansion(including option to only play Asia without Europe because of performance)
- Africa expansion(including option to only play Africa without Europe because of performance)
- epidemics
- some new mechanic to make very stong npc characters randomly appear(not just child of destiny), so there are other threats than Gengis Khan
- new succession types
- more travel events
- battle events
- nomad mechanics
- new formable realms and oppurtinity to change your ruler title for gold or prestige
- secret socities

[Bannermann]

I doubt paradox will see this, but maybe i have luck.
One Feature I would Love to see in the future, is for the HRE the „Imperial Banner Bearer“. This could be like a councilor slot, with the exception that only counts and Dukes of the Swabian culture would be able to hold it.

Why Swabian ? This rule was set by Charles the Great himself, that the Swabians „by right of the eldest“ would forever have the Honor of being chosen as Carriers of the Kaisers Banner as well as being part of the „Vorstreit“ meaning the Swabian Knights/Nobles would have the dangerous honor of performing the first charge/standing in first line.

This position could give several bonuses, including prestige, higher Martial and Prowess, but it could also come with a higher risk of Injury or even death in battle.

[Lord_IfourV]

If they announce either trading or plagues I'm happy.

[russian_sadness]

please add events for pregnant women, stronger reactions to death of relatives (especially children) and funerals🙏🏻love you❤

Outstanding stuff! A big 'well done' and thank you to all those involved in the making of chapter 3's content.
