Empocariam said: Noticed on Steam that a new *Lifestyle* was being added with the Travel Event pack, that's awesome! Hope this space opens up more, (Raider and Adventuerer lifestyle?) and also maybe comes with an companying update to how XP is earned. A little boring now that you really only have 1 main lifestyle +% bonus. I really like +% bonus based on actual skills mod (so you get +12% Bonus to stewardship lifestyle if you have 12 stewardship, not just the stewardship education trait), that I think sadly has been abandoned.

Chapter 3 teasers

Comment
sreckom92 said: I mean, I don't know why would they otherwise tease in this manner.

Mostly because I couldn't get approval to show off 7 pieces of unreleased artwork, but also because I think it's neat to go through the history of our previous chapters in the lead-up to Chapter III's reveal.

EDIT: Also, pretty much any of the artwork options would have given the game away immediately, and where's the fun in that?

We can hint more at what's coming via the text accompanying the images without outright spoiling the reveal than we ... Read more

Dev Diary #142: Vision and Art

Post
Hello and welcome to this developer diary introducing the Crusader Kings III Content Creator Pack: North African Attire, I’m Pierre “El Tyranos” Azuelos and you might already play with some of my work in the Community Flavor Pack mod.

I have been playing Crusader Kings franchise since 2012 and mod my favorite games since 2004. I naturally switched to CK modding as soon as 3D characters were announced. Since then, I have made over 260 models for my mod: headgear, clothes, artifacts, royal courts, ships, props, etc. I also broadcasted several video tutorials to help beginner artists to make their way inside the 3D engine.

Today, Paradox Interactive gives me the opportunity and immense privilege to release an official cosmetic pack for our favorite game, so let’s jump into it in detail!

Culture reform to add Recognition of Talent, then deliberately provoke revolts and pardon everybody involved. Strong hooks on half the people in your realm is hard to beat.
