Crusader Kings III: Starter Edition

Post
Hello, everyone!

We have an important update to share today for people looking to get into Crusader Kings III for the first time: we're retiring the old Royal Edition and replacing it with a new Starter Edition for our game. This new edition is designed to offer a comprehensive and value-packed entry point for new players, ensuring access to the best of what Crusader Kings III has to offer from the get-go.



Included with Crusader Kings III: Starter Edition
Crusader Kings III Base Game
  • Whether you start as a lowly count or a mighty emperor, no throne is safe as you compete for power against thousands of other nobles for prestige and dominance. Write your own histories, with a wide range of personality types, ambitions, and cultural preferences. Play as a haughty duke, a pious prince, or a cunning queen, and then play as their heir as the wheel of time grinds on.

Traxium318 said: So It's like a highly curated walkthrough? Like new events and options for them? A more railroaded experiencia?
Curated? Yes. There will be new events and the like specifically for these characters. Railroaded? Not at all. The strength of Crusader Kings has always been the ability to define your own course through history, and that's something we'll continue to encourage new players to do.

AlfredRWallace said: Oy! What's this now then?

Advance notice of an initiative that'll be playing out over the following months to make the game more accessible to new players. We're sprucing up the Rags to Riches bookmark characters and making them more distinct gameplay-wise from each other, in order to better highlight the different ways you can approach CK3.

Introducing the Black Forge Jam!

Post
Hello everyone!

Back in December of 2023, halls of Studio Black buzzed with an exciting flurry of activity for the team’s inaugural Black Forge Jam: a three-day extravaganza of creativity and innovation, with just a dash of chaos. This wasn't your average development sprint. We threw the rulebook out the window (figuratively speaking, of course) to dive into the realms of "What if?" and "Why not?" for Crusader Kings III.



A Dive into Uncharted Waters
Imagine a space where time, budget, and the usual game plan constraints are sidelined, allowing for pure, unadulterated creativity. That's what the Black Forge Jam was all about. With 11 different projects on the table, different groups from the CK3 Dev team embarked on a journey to explore the unexplored and build the unbuilt, all fueled by a passion for innovation and perhaps a copious amount of ca...

Legends of the Dead - Pre-Release Stream + Dev Q&A - March 4

Comment
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  

Legends of the Dead - Pre-Release Stream + Dev Q&A - March 4

Post
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!

[PREVIEW] Legends of the Dead + 1.12.1 "Scythe" Changelog

Comment
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.
