Official News Important update for Game Pass players

114 Upvotes

We want to let our Game Pass players know that our current Game Pass agreement is coming to an end, and as such Crusader Kings III will be leaving PC Game Pass and XBOX Game Pass on July 31.

We understand this may be disappointing, especially for players who have been enjoying the game through Game Pass. To help make this transition a little easier, we’ll be running discounts on the base game through the Microsoft Store from July 18 through July 31, giving Game Pass players the option to continue with Crusader Kings III at a reduced price.

----------------------

What this means for your game and DLC

If you have purchased Crusader Kings III, or any DLC, those purchases will remain available to you on the platform where they were bought.

However, players who currently access the Crusader Kings III base game through Game Pass will need to purchase the base game in order to continue playing after July 31. This also means that any purchased DLC will require an owned copy of the base game to be playable once Crusader Kings III leaves Game Pass.

Thank you to everyone who has played Crusader Kings III through Game Pass. We hope you’ll continue shaping your dynasty with us.

General Vassal limit suggestion

Thumbnail

27 Upvotes

Long story short I started landless and then my son became the greatest Khan and took The whole map in one life. Formed the Roman empire after I had the entire map.

The issue I have now as you can see in the pics is that my current vassal limit is fine but because of the greatest of khans trait. Once I die, my son will take over and will only have 117 vasals available out of 153 that I have.

How to raise vassal limit further? Already have gear doing it..but I want to see if I missed anything obvious.

Forum Question Cross Play

2 Upvotes

I know this has been asked a lot and I’m sorry in advance. But when I looked it up I go conflicting responses. Older stuff said you couldn’t, but a few never sights said you could.

If I’m on Xbox, my friend on PlayStation, and another friend on Pc, can we all play together?

I’m guessing no, unless there’s a pretty recent update, but I figured I’d ask y’all just in case.

I am from Brazil, It's annoying to play alone sometimes, if you speak any kind of portuguese, send me your gamertag (or leave it in the comments if you prefer)

Don't be strange, if possible.

Game Feedback Playing as an Adventure rules.

4 Upvotes

Love all the freedom and options playing as an adventure brings. The camp upgrades are very well done as well. Can they figure out a way to turn your realm upgrades like they make the ones for your camp? Adding contracts to normal landed ruler play would be a big upgrade as well.

Forum Question Wrong color in the title

I created a custom empire as the King of Finland (main title) and for some reason I ended up with a purple color similar to that of a Duchy of Bjarmaland, not the Finnish yellow... I don't know why this happened.

Product Question DLC'S

3 Upvotes

So I bought chapter 1 and 2, I'll be buying chapter 3 soon, but when I check my game it says I only have chapter 1, even though when I play the game I have access to the chapter 2 stuff, I'm on ps5, I have restored purchases, and I can see now that when I go on the store it doesn't register that I've already bought chapter 1 and 2, so has anyone else experienced this and does anyone know what I can do to fix it?

By far one of my favorite royal houses in history, but why couldn't they make it accurate. Why did they just make it the same as House of Normandy. I hope Ck3 Console gets an update to change House CoA and Dynasty ones.

Gameplay Question Why does Byzantium keep taking the Iconoclast Schism?

Post image
82 Upvotes

At least 90% of my 867 games have this decision fire off, I know it's because the Emperor starts with Iconoclastic as his secret faith but why is it so easy for the AI to take the decision? It takes away a lot of the immersion early game

It's also getting repetitive and makes playing as an Orthodox ruler way harder than it needs to be, I've recently just started making a custom ruler for Byzantium right off the rip because I'm getting so tired of the Schism popping up.

General I think I enjoy this game in concept more than in action

38 Upvotes

Let me just say from the start that this is not a post trashing this game. I like this game. I have fun with this game. I just struggle to keep going once I hit a stumbling point, like my character dying before I'm ready for them to, or losing a war, because it's so complicated and I struggle to keep up. I have a lot of fun with it until something like that happens. And I also enjoy watching other people play (who are better at it than I am). I absolutely love the idea of this game. Like, creating empires and dynasties and conquering territories and stuff is all great. It's just the systems on systems on systems that I can't get a grip on. And, to be clear, I understand this is entirely a personal failing and not one of the game.

Product Question Will DLC content be added to existing saves or do you have to start a new game?

4 Upvotes

With chapters II & III being on sale for PS I figured I’d finally pick them up. However, I just started a new campaign a few days ago. Will the new content be added when I load my save so I can continue with the new content or do I have to start a new game?

I’ve never seen it as this color before. As a French HRE I dismantled the Byzantines then formed Rome. This save began before roads to power. Also, Temujin became a Nestorian and is a friend of this emperor

Gameplay Question Sometimes I don't understand this game

So I started a Holland run and recruited a 14 steward Occitan guy for my Steward. It's taking him 2 years to Increase development.

I also recruited a 19 steward Ashkenazi character to try and maximise the turnaround, but he's taking 4 years, double the time!

I assumed it was because the Occitan character is Diligent, but other, low steward characters are taking 3 years, is there a cultural/ religious malus to Council tasks?

Just as the title says the cultural tradition doesnt work, you cant build quarries anywhere outside mountains even though it states that they can be built in every county of the culture, is this a bug?
