About Crusader Kings III

You play a ruler, but what you really build is a family line. Pick a noble house, start in 867, 1066 or 1178, and claim land, titles and vassals. When your character dies, you carry on as an heir. Traits, lifestyle choices and inherited genes shape every character, and you can pick guardians for your heir or educate them yourself.

War is only one tool. You can marry into power, plot against rivals with spies and blackmail, hire mercenaries and Holy Orders, or try to take your liege’s crown. Characters can be romanced, betrayed or executed, and thousands of events keep your court unpredictable.

The map spans the Nordic lands, the British Isles, the Horn of Africa and Burma, with thousands of counties, duchies, kingdoms and empires to claim. Steam lists the game as single-player and multiplayer with online PvP, and it supports Steam Workshop mods.

Which edition should I choose?

• Starter Edition: the base game plus five DLC: Elegance of the Empire, Fashion of the Abbasid Court, Friends & Foes, Garments of the Holy Roman Empire and Tours & Tournaments.
