Paradox Interactive has revealed initial details for the upcoming Crusader Kings 3 expansion centered on nomadic rulers. This DLC introduces a revolutionary governance system tailored for nomadic peoples, featuring a new currency: "herd." This "herd" currency directly impacts a ruler's authority and significantly influences gameplay aspects such as military strength, cavalry unit composition, the dynamics of lord-subject relationships, and other core game mechanics.

The nomadic lifestyle necessitates constant relocation, a core element of this expansion. A chieftain's movements will be strategically influenced by various factors, requiring them to either negotiate peacefully with local populations or forcibly displace them to secure new grazing lands.

Furthermore, players will manage transportable yurts, similar to the adventurer's camp mechanic. These yurts can be upgraded with various components, each offering unique benefits.

The expansion also introduces iconic yurt towns, mirroring the adventurer's camp system. These mobile settlements, carried by nomadic kings, can be upgraded with additional structures, each serving a distinct purpose and enhancing the nomadic experience.
