What is this small round thing he is wearing around his throat?

It’s a brooch (in French it’s called a fibule)

Secret Societies?

 

[ZircomSkull]

Well, they all exist in the same planet as China ! thus confirming the map expansion posthaste !

 

[Trunting]

Contemplating this latest crypticism, we can see everybody's feet, which aren't normally encountered in the course of gameplay. There must be some meaning to this. Bringing our vassals to heel, maybe? These characters are standing on their own two feet, implying some sort of autonomy for them?

hmmm.... I guess, we'll know more in 5 minutes..

I think he blue version of Rasad's outfit fits her better

That would fit well with the announcement that the expansion will focus on the relation between characters and the map. Characters would travel (= feet), and if you are absent for longer, you need to appoint a regent.

I do have to agree with those feeling disappointed in this dev diary. I do deeply appreciate Wokeg and the others jumping into threads recently, but this DD does feel lacking. Honestly the info here feels like what Wiz used to drop on twitter for Stellaris back in the day then a true DD.

I think it's safe to say now regencies will be in the next DLC

Another clue indicating regencies - each character appears to be shown on the main menu screen, once you have saved your game. You’ll recall that the character you are playing as will be the character in the centre of the screen, with your spouse and heir shown standing either side…given that all three characters here are shown as standing at the side, this indicates they are not the player characters but fulfil an important role in relation to the player character - that of regent!

Could the third image be this chap, uncle to Harald Fairhair?

Amazing find!

Edit: wow I just looked at the eu4 dev diary today. If you guys want to see what I’m talking about when it comes to a good dev diary, go there.

A good dev diary for a terrible update.

I'm far more interested in reading this CK3 teaser than in reading yet another EU4 dev fail to grasp that mission trees are part of the problem, not part of the solution.

oh my god is this a free patch for regency and these buttons for how you can interact with your regent?

The Third Image is Kol Sverker; father of the ruler here.

 

[UberEpicZach]

Here is Kol's son.

Bird cages in the last picture?

You are onto something. I don’t remember seeing this background before.

I think this is indeed a new background.

The other backgrounds are:

throneroom_west
throneroom_east
fp1_throneroom_tribals

 

[Lucododosor]

Now I'm low-key hoping that we can choose to play either as the regent or as the child
