Once again, we have a Dev Diary too large to fit practically into a Steam announcement, so head over to our forums via the link above to read today's post!

Hello, Crusaders!

Less than a week to the release of Tours & Tournaments!

On May 11, you will be able to travel through your realm to check on your vassals. Attend royal weddings to demonstrate your loyalty to a distant lord. Or, if you are brave enough, enter competitions of body or mind in tournaments. As always, there are no guarantees, and danger still lurks around every corner. But with great risk, comes great renown...


Take a look at the video below presenting the feature breakdown for Tours and Tournaments!

Hello and welcome to the 126th CK3 Dev Diary. I’m Matthew, one of the programmers on the team, and today we’re going to be covering changes to modding support coming alongside Tours and Tournaments as well as how modding activities themselves can work.

► Discuss Dev Diary #126 on our forums![pdxint.at]



Activity Modding Activities are fully moddable, and as I mentioned in prior dev diaries they are composed of a variety of options and phases, where a phase is made up of a type and a location.

There are a lot of scripting options in activities so I’m going to also attach our info file on them for a more detailed overview. For this dev diary I’m just going to cover a handful of the bigger ... Read more

Knights, Accolades and Glory​
Hey! We’re CK’s resident gang of big, beefy, vascular knight bannerets and we’re here to talk knights! Specifically, the brand-new Accolades feature. So slap on your jerkin, grab your bodkin, strap on your slaying-sword, and don’t you dare get distracted by any damsels in distress.

Accolades are about adding depth and flavor to knight management, giving you cause to care about the low-ranked NPCs you’re sending to untimely deaths. This is a smaller feature, but it’s an excellent tie-in to the new Activity System, particularly Grand Tournaments. Activities are ideal less-than-lethal reasons to get your knights out of the house, and get them known as the budding warriors and leaders they are.

Hey, is this just adding more Knight Effectiveness?​ No. But your knights will probably get a few new things to offer the battlefield.
