Silens said: Indirect question: LoD releases on 4th of March, you say 16:00 to 17:00 CET is pre-release. Does that mean that it releases at roughly 18:00 CET?
Very roughly.

We don't guarantee release times; there's a lot of stuff that has to happen in quick succession for launch, which means lots of opportunities for things to get held up.

EDIT: Ah damn I should have left that for the Q&A

Hello everyone! As explained by the title, we're planning to host a pre-release stream for Legends of the Dead on March 4 from 16:00 to 17:00 CET.

As part of this stream, we're looking to answer some questions from the community! In the interest of those who can't attend live, we're taking questions from various platforms online to answer during the stream. So, uh... drop a question below! No guarantees we'll get to a specific question or not; we're working under time constraints so we likely won't be able to get to everything.

Watch the stream at 16:00 CET via the links below!

TheMind said: Great update! Any news on macOS crashes?
We'll include this in a known issues post on Monday to cast a wide net, but since you're already asking: There's a quirk where Steam isn't properly changing the capitalization of certain files, and that's causing issues since MacOS and Linux both use case-sensitive filesystems out of the box.

Do a full uninstall, verify that nothing is left in the game folder, and reinstall.

Also, is that -2 to -4 development per month??

GNU Pterry

It's not a flat rate like that! It _can_ be in certain cases, but don't expect every epidemic to chunk off 3 development per month. We have a new effect in Development Decline, so it'll be something you won't have experienced before as a player.

What good are grand accomplishments and heroic deeds if no one sings of them after you have gone?

Prepare your realm and your soul to face the Final Enemy, and live a life worth singing about!

Greetings!

I’m Rageair, the Game Director for Crusader Kings III, and today I’m excited to present to you Chapter III - in this Dev Diary we’ll briefly go over the themes of each of the expansions that will make up the full package and take sneak a peek at their features!
