Crusader Kings 3: Roads to Power released today

As a seasoned connoisseur of grand strategy games, I have traversed countless realms and witnessed the rise and fall of empires, but none has captured my heart quite like Crusader Kings III. The announcement of Crusader Kings 3: Roads to Power expansion has sent ripples of excitement through the gaming community, and for good reason!


Publisher Paradox Interactive has revealed the release of a significant new expansion for their acclaimed grand strategy game – Crusader Kings 3 now comes with the addition of “Roads to Power.

In the latest addition to this game, your character will traverse a realm filled with risk and potential riches, pursuing fortune and excitement. Alternatively, you can sail through treacherous political seas, where cunning and subterfuge frequently trump raw power. Here, diplomacy and intrigue often play decisive roles.

The freshest Major Extension for Crusader Kings III is titled “Roads to Power,” introducing two substantial alterations to the primary gameplay:

Here’s the list of key features for the expansion, from the press release:

  • Administrative Government: Experience medieval rule outside of the feudal system with a new style of empire management. A web of Governors jockeys for position in the empire with intrigue and power, sometimes rewarding merit and sometimes rewarding perfidy. Only a truly skilled Emperor can keep these squabbling forces in line.
  • The Family Estate: Run and manage a powerful Family Estate, the seat of your House’s power, even when you hold no other land. Construct new buildings and improvements to further your power and influence within an administrative empire.
  • Influence System: Build up a character’s influence within an administrative empire to climb the rungs of bureaucracy. Raise your status in the realm and gather more power for yourself. Start as a landless noble on an estate, and compete for valuable provinces to govern before making your bid for the Purple.
  • A Life of Adventure: Freely roam the map, untied to any realm or holding, going wherever the winds of fortune blow you. Fulfil contracts as a landless adventurer, even through the generations, building up a reputation of your own. Earn gold, prestige and fame travelling the globe until you decide to settle down and claim land you have earned through merit.
  • Choose Successor or Caesar: Spend the influence you have gathered to determine the course of the Empire and get the successor you want, whether a royal family member, a powerful noble, a martial hero, or any other candidate you can rally the people behind. The Emperor can even opt to co-rule if the burden of the throne is too much for one person.
  • New Byzantine Flavour Content: New events, monuments and activities built around the Byzantine theme, including chariot racing.
    Cosmetic Additions: A Byzantine-themed UI skin and new court fashions for your characters, new 2D event art, new on-map monuments of the Byzantine world, new on-map holding designs, and a Byzantine throne room for Royal Court sessions, among other aesthetic improvements. New music inspired by Orthodox holy chants is also included.

Today marks the release of Crusader Kings 3: Pathways to Authority for PC platforms. The price is set at $29.99, £24.99, or €29.99. This latest addition, titled Roads to Power, joins Chapter 3, which encompasses the Legends of the Dead, Wandering Nobles, and this new expansion.
