Crusader Kings 3 Dev Tracker

Greetings!

A few weeks ago we shared our floor plan for the future, and this week I’d like to give you some tidbits from the studio itself. I will tell you a bit about the history of our studio and what we are about - interlaced with random quotes from the team collected throughout the year (courtesy of Wokeg - I think they paint a pretty accurate picture of the minds in our midst).
So if you are eagerly awaiting updates on what’s coming for the actual game, I’m afraid you will have to wait a little longer.

Greetings!

A long time in the making, this diary is dedicated to plans, and what we have in store for CK3. From more present matters to musings and thoughts ranging into the far future. Crusader Kings is a unique game series, and one that has been close to my heart for a long time - the focus on characters as the driving force, emergent narratives, and player freedom make it truly stand out.

Ever since I took the reins of the project I’ve continued to follow the original vision, which some of you might remember from the very first Dev Diary: Character Focus, Player Freedom and Progression, Pla... Read more

Howdy all!

Today we are releasing a Minor Update to the game to help with stability and performance. While this is not a major Update and should not affect saved games, we always recommend that you make sure you have a fresh game ready to go with a new version.

As stated, this is a relatively small Update, but also full of highly impactful changes reported by you in the Community! Here is the Changelog:

• Fix offer vassalization being slow if you had too many neighbors and vassals due to evaluating opinion too many times too slowly.

Greetings!

It’s been (almost) two weeks since the release of Friends & Foes, and the sheer amount of reactions and feedback to it and the accompanying Bastion Update has been fantastic to see! From the many emergent stories that have been posted around the Internet (one about a peasant crush ascending to the position of councilor and subsequently being murdered by a noble out of spite comes to mind) to the impressive screenshots of vast Mongol Empires and powerful AI realms - it’s great to see how many of you returned to the game and think that it got a breath of new life. In fact, despite the smaller size of this update, more of you came back to the game and ran a longer campaign than ever before!

Today we have released Update 1.7.1 which includes a lot of changes to issues that you have been reporting and a few that we found on our own!

► Discuss this update on our forums![pdxint.at]



1.7.1 CHANGELOG
AI

• AI can no longer hire and fire court position in the same decision cycle, this should fix the issue where AIs could end up in massive prestige deficits

Balance

• Slightly relaxed requirements for Reviving Taltoism to make it not entirely impossible in 1066
  
• Crusade Targeting - Fixed so that Crusades check for current military strength when excluding target kingdoms instead of max military s...

We have released a minor update addressing an issue affecting certain processors after the 1.7 "Bastion" Update. This fix was considered high priority, so it is being released ahead of a broader update we will be releasing in the near future.

• CK3 - Stability - Game doesn't launch when starting the game on an older CPU (non-AVX)

Heya everyone!

This is your friendly neighborhood Tech Lead Zack. Someone made the rather unwise decision to allow me to write this dev diary for the "Bastion" update (I think everyone else was sick) and I intend to milk it as much as I can. "Bastion" goes live later today with Friends & Foes and I'm so happy to finally be able to share it with you. I'm the Tech Lead "in charge" of Friends & Foes which means that I work with the team to determine what tech ( see: code ) we can actually add to the update, that it works as it should and that we at the end of the day have a functioning build to deliver to you ( among other things, I also sit in a lot of meetings where I usually have a lot of wise and important things to say ;) ). This is the first Event Pack that we have done for CK3 so me and the team have been treading a lot of new ground, which has been very exciting, and I also think that it's the best one so far!

Hello everyone!

Nice to meet all of you! A little background on me: I am Noodle, a Game Designer on CK3. I’ve been on this project since before the release of the game, but for most of its life I’ve been some delicious flavour of QA. Anyway, enough about me, I know you’re all here for more on our Event Pack!

Last time out Trin took you through some of the more mechanical changes, such as the memory system and viewer, the loyalty traits and some of our childhood event changes.

Greetings rulers!

Next week, you’ll have the chance to tell even more stories about how your oldest friend betrayed you or how you ruined your rival through decades of soap opera level scheming.

Friends and Foes is an Event Pack for Crusader Kings III that adds over a hundred events related to your characters’ relationships to those closest to their heart, or their throne. Strong friendships can grow from childhood into lifelong alliances, and formative memories could shape how you see the world around you.

Not to mention the challenges of keeping your large family in line.

This event pack will be available on September 8. We look forward to hearing about your new adventures and experiences.
