A new mechanic, which only the grandest of Kings, Emperors, and the highest rulers may access, it’s intended as a means of interacting with your courtiers and vassals, while accumulating the newly-added Grandeur stat, as you frivolously show off your wealth. Royal Court’s most prominent feature is the addition of a throne room. And this time, it’s culture, and the King’s quarters, that are on the table. Far from boasting the thick DLC catalogue of Europa Universalis, or its WW2 cousin Hearts of Iron 4, the hybrid medieval nation-simulator-RPG’s first major expansion was announced last week. It might possess wide acclaim and mainstream success, but Crusader Kings 3 is still the baby of publisher Paradox Interactive’s growing grand strategy family.
