New Patch for Crusader Kings 3 Will Make Your Ugly Ruler Even Uglier
Paradox Interactive has provided details of the next major update for Crusader Kings III. It will introduce a character editor, improve the appearance of tribal cities and change the appearance of characters with the „Ugly” trait.
- Update 1.2 for Crusader Kings III is coming.
- Its main attraction will be the Ruler Designer, a tool to create our own characters.
- In addition, it will introduce to the game, among others, a few novelties in the gameplay, additional events and a number of visual improvements, including elements of appearance that will make people with the "Ugly" trait even less attractive visually.
Crusader Kings III is undoubtedly a huge success both commercially and artistically. However, some of the players blamed Paradox Interactive that since the release of the last major update for this medieval strategy game, which took place at the end of September, they haven't told much about next one. However, this has changed in recent days and today we know quite a lot about the novelties that will be introduced by the upcoming patch number 1.2. So what can we expect?
The main attraction of update 1.2 update will be the so-called Ruler Designer, details of which we got to know last week. It will be a tool to create our own characters, to whom we will later give the selected lands under our control. We will choose their sex, appearance, age, religion, characteristics and levels of particular skills. We will also define our crest, escutcheon and motto. Later, it will be up to us whether the created characters will be the beginning of the most powerful dynasty the world has seen.
It should be noted that, as previously announced, the Ruler Designer tool will be available for free. This is all the more important because in the case of Crusader Kings II it was released as a paid DLC.
However, Ruler Designer is just the beginning of a long list of contents of update 1.2. Some of the novelties will affect the gameplay. We're talking about the option of tying our troops to another army, which should make it much easier to follow our allies, for example, fixes in the rally points system, or another option in the game settings for matrilineal marriages. Others will add more immersion to the game world - there will be, among others, an option known from Crusader Kings II to review people who were killed by a given person; new events; or changes in the beliefs of northeastern peoples (including the addition of another religion - Siberian paganism). Finally, there will also be a slight refreshment of the visual side of the title, such as other variants of the appearance of tribal settlements, clearer dynasty and battle screens, and nicer marking of country crests on the world map. Many will also be interested in the improvements related to the "Ugly" trait, which will give ugly characters additional elements of appearance on the portraits, making them, well, uglier. You can find more details here.
So far we don't know exactly when Paradox Interactive will release update 1.2 for Crusader Kings III. However, it is expected to appear before the end of the year.
