To turn the heads of an established player community, the developers really had to bring their A-game - and they did, with a mostly stable launch, a whiz-bang 3D world map, and a tremendous set of character models.īut they went even further, adding in a hefty tutorial system that finally - mercifully - actually taught newcomers how to play the game. Crusader Kings 2 launched in 2012, and had more bits of downloadable content than is frankly reasonable. Of course, the team at Paradox Interactive was really up against it this time around. My favorite by far is the discovery that one player’s husbands - all four of them - were murdered by a single serial killer, and that the killer was their own evil twin who was secretly in love with them.
They include strategically placed covens of witches who change the course of history, a mustachioed Henry Cavill look-alike, and entire kingdoms led by groups of wealthy toddlers. The narratives that have emerged from the Crusader Kings 3 player community are downright bonkers. Like a truly great high school teacher, Crusader Kings 3 has its timeline and its major historical figures down pat, letting it take the time to linger on the true turning points in history - and to dive deeply into its weirdest waters. Note that these are not adjectives commonly associated with strategy games. Franck would have absolutely loved Crusader Kings 3, which is also loud, intimidating, awe-inspiring, and taboo.
