Crusader Kings III: Legends of the Dead PC

Crusader Kings III: Legends of the Dead is an expansion to the grand strategy type RTS released in 2020 titled Crusader Kings III. The DLC was developed by the authors of the original, namely the team specialized in this genre, Paradox Development Studio.

Mechanics

Crusader Kings III: Legends of the Dead is based on two pillars, the first of which is the royal legacy. The expansion allows us to make our name famous by commissioning the writing of songs of praise about us, employing chroniclers who will write about us in their books, and hiring poets and bards to decorate the feasts we organize with the songs they composed.

The status of a living legend is important because it gives us access to elite buildings that prove our greatness, as well as to decisions that we could not make as an "ordinary" ruler. Furthermore, our successors may use our great deeds to justify their right to exercise power.

The second pillar of this expansion are new diseases, including the plague and the epidemic it caused, known as the Black Death. Additionally, conditions such as bloody flux, measles, and the so-called "holy fire" (ergotism) appear here. Plagues can wreak havoc both in our court and beyond, devouring the entire continent.

The list of new features introduced in the add-on is topped off with new graphics, such as the map table, clothing, as well as unit and object models, which are maintained in a style characteristic of the game.

Technical aspects

Crusader Kings III: Legends of the Dead is not a standalone expansion, so it requires the base version of Crusader Kings III to run.
