Expansion Features (Paid)

Added Administrative Government: A new government heavily inspired by the Byzantine Empire which introduces a completely new playstyle focused around the bureaucracy of a large realm.

  - Upgrades and buildings provide valuable gold and influence income, and can be tailored to suit your own needs and playstyle.

  - Governance Issues: On-map interactive pieces on content, issues appear for governors to solve or somehow address, gaining valuable resources and Governor Trait experience.

- Co-emperors and their senior emperors can now publicly scapegoat each other to the rest of the realm, sacrificing their relationship for influence.
- Co-emperors may request (or coerce) a private despotate out of their senior emperor at a certain scales of power level.
- Co-emperors may be blinded, castrated, disfigured, maimed, or killed to remove them from office — they may likewise do this to their senior emperor to steal control of the empire.

Added Landless Adventurers, a new government focused on informal groups of characters (from small bands of scholars to large mercenary companies), allowing players to traverse the map and use the medieval world as a backdrop for smaller, character-focused roleplay.
- Contracts: adventurers cannot easily obtain significant fixed incomes, so they have to earn their gold and prestige from serving landed rulers via contracts. These can consist of mercenary work, decisions, event chains, and one-off events.

  - Sojourn to far-off lands as an Explorer
  - Commit many crimes as a Freebooter
  - Regain a lost throne as a Legitimist
- Gallowsbait: adventurers that indulge in criminal acts will find that society no longer affords them the same respect a landed ruler would get. Petty crimes level up their gallowsbait trait, slowly making the world hate them.

  - They pay no maintenance on their armies, but do not refill them naturally. Instead, they have a brace of interactions that they can take to refill them in exchange for currency costs.
  - Successfully sieging holdings also returns a small amount of troops, enough for their armies to recoup most siege losses (and maybe a little extra) most of the time.
- Added 28 camp officers, the adventurer equivalent of court positions (which they generally replace), most of which are unlocked by different domicile upgrades.
- Added Visit Settlement decision, allowing adventurers to explore the holdings they pass through.

Free Features

Added new game rules
- Name of Byzantium - Don’t like the name of the Byzantine Empire? Pick the name you like the most with several options available!
- Added game rule for giving the historic ruler of Munster, Toirdelbach Mac Tadg, his rightful fiefdom (including becoming the player character if Murchad was selected; with credit to maniacal inc's thorough video on the subject for the switcharoo).
- Added a game rule allowing manual determination of the Conquest of England's victor in 1066. If left to default, this will be overridden if Hereward is a player and no one else is playing a key belligerent.
- Added a small slew of game rules for turning various arguably-administrative historical empires (plus the Carolingians, who only recently transitioned out of being administrative) into administrative empires, even if these realms aren't best suited to the mechanics of the government or already have their own distinct government flavors.
- Added game rules to turn off the Iberian Struggle and/or Iranian Intermezzo mechanics, should you wish to play without them.
- Added an optional game rule for restricting the creation of new empire titles neighboring/sharing a de jure with existing empires unless you have a stronger military, are married to their close family, or have a strong hook on them.
Added Court View and Court Artifacts to base game; holding court, court grandeur, and other features found in Royal Court will continue to require that DLC to access.
Added a new start date, 1178, featuring two bookmarks: Call of the Empire and Swords of Faith.
Added a grand city style event for visiting Constantinople while traveling.
Added the ‘Conqueror’ feature - rulers across the world can now be designated as a great conqueror, giving them special bonuses, content, and altering their AI behavior.
- Conquerors switch over to a hyper-aggressive version of the AI, which is much faster to declare wars, can declare multiple wars at once, and invests all of their resources into warfare, Men at Arms, and means with which to declare more and better wars (such as hunt activities if they’re low on prestige and you’ve disabled their special bonuses via game rules, or taxation tours if they’re low on gold, etc.). They switch to the objectively best lifestyle focuses, use schemes in a very realpolitik way, etc.
- Frequency, inheritance, and extra bonuses are fully customizable via Game Rules.
Added Message Settings: customize notifications to your own liking to have them appear in the message feed, as toasts, or pop-ups.
Added the Vassal Directives feature - You will now be able to give Directives to your vassals, presuming that they respect you!
- Directives are either given from the character interaction menu, or via the ‘Vassals’ tab in My Realm, the latter having the benefit of showing you the current directive. All government types can issue directives to their vassals - if you fulfill the triggers!
- Administrative realms can give directives without the Vassal being able to refuse.
Historical Characters can now appear across the map!
- Historical Characters such as Hildegard von Bingen or Ibn Battuta will appear in their historical birthplaces and seek employment with the local ruler. Recruit them, or set them on their own path throughout the world!
- Customize how you’re notified of their appearance via a new Game Rule.
- If you own Roads to Power, you can set out as an Adventurer as one of these characters should they spawn in your realm.
Choose a New Destiny
- When you die, you now get the opportunity to switch to another character of your Dynasty that is not necessarily your direct Heir. Our game is a dynastic simulator, and we want to unlock playing through more branches of your Dynasty!
- Players will be offered up to three categories of Destiny characters: An Interesting Destiny, a Challenging Destiny, and an Adventurous Destiny. Each category aims to offer a different flavor. The last category specifically will allow you to go Adventuring, if you own Roads to Power!
- You can also select a Favorite Child (direct child or grand-child), who will then always appear as a New Destiny character. They will not get any extra titles or gold - in fact their siblings might get a bit jealous of their ‘favorite’ status.
- For those who like to roll the Die of Fate - we have a special “Random Destiny” option with several random variants, to continue as any Dynasty character. It might still be your Heir, if that is what Fate determines.
- You only get to Choose a New Destiny if you have a valid heir when you die. Securing your succession is an important part of CK3, and we want everyone to keep respecting that goal.
Character of the Week: Each week a new character will be highlighted when you start the game, giving you information about them and a suggestion for goals to achieve!
Music Player: Pick the track you want to listen to and customize which tracks to play

Added some extra factors to negotiate alliance acceptance and rebalanced some factors.
Made the 'marrying up/down' reasons unified under one value, which is determined by the tiers of the close family of the secondary actor/recipient.

House guards are now limited to one regiment, rather than a number of sub-units.
Massively rebalanced marriage acceptance modifiers to achieve a multitude of goals: fewer lowborn marriages, fewer marriages that cannot produce children, etc.

You now only gain stress from dying siblings if you like them (33+ opinion) and they are below 40 years old.
Advantage now affects battles by a factor of 10 (up from 2), this makes having the right commanders/fighting in the right terrain much more important, allowing smaller armies to beat larger ones more consistently.
In active combat the commander is now reevaluated every day and the one who provides the best advantage is chosen. It takes into account all sources of advantage and counter-advantage.
Rulers of certain government types can no longer inherit from feudal, clan or tribal rulers. This prevents game over when your primary heir is mayor, and helps prevent administrative realms from losing titles to feudals via inheritance.

Broadly reduced the cultural acceptance gains from events.
“A Holy Tomb” now offers a more meaningful choice. The event only fires in wrong-faith counties, and choosing to support the construction of the temple makes it more difficult to convert the county.
“From beyond the border” now enables you to gain cultural acceptance.
Empty granaries now affect many counties rather than just one.
“Written language” now only fires if you are the non-dominant gender and the bonuses now give you scheme success rather than diplomacy. The event can only fire if the player has hostile schemes or has an intrigue lifestyle.
“Out of control” now rewards control across your realm. The narrative has now been changed somewhat to offer the player a choice between investing in control or sacrificing county opinion for control.
“In Ancient Times” now offers a Legend seed.
“Endless Poetry” can no longer demand that the player become lovers, grant titles, grant council positions, or give their entire realm to a random poet. Instead, the event has been simplified to just offer the player a new court poet.

“Dust to Dust” now impacts all low-development counties rather than just one county.
Reduced the prestige and piety level requirements for conquest, invasion, and holy war CBs by one level (e.g. from Illustrious to Distinguished Prestige Levels); this should make the ai have access to higher-quality wars more often.

Lowered the amount of Learning gained per level of devotion from the holy site Alexandria to 1, down from 2.
Lowered the amount of Learning gained per level of devotion from the holy site Lyon to 1, down from 2.
Fixed the AI being a bit too keen on using murder feasts to kill non-rivals.
Fixed an issue where the claimant of a successful claimant faction wouldn't get the intended boost to their legitimacy, which would lead to vassals putting a new ruler on the throne, only to realise that, yes, the new ruler has awful legitimacy, let's replace them with someone else! There should be less claimant factions as a result.
Foreign-Raised Reformer story cycle made more available and given legitimacy effects.
Rebalanced Embrace English Culture decision, so AI Normans won’t become English immediately in 1066 and 1178.
Reduced the MaA regiment size bonuses from relevant Accolades
Slightly increased the Longbowmen MaA era progression
Increased the MaA Toughness gain from the Plate Armor innovation
Rebalanced 40+ Cultural Traditions. Many percentage increases to MaA stats have been replaced with flat increases, introduced new building early unlocks and bonuses, removed some inconsequential modifiers, and more.

AI

The AI will now never use duchy conquest, duchy holy war, or duchy de jure war to claim only one county.
The AI will now never use clan invasion to take less than 5 counties.

The AI is now slightly less inclined to spend gold on court amenities as they generally do fine anyway.
Taught the AI that Men-At-Arms are in fact, much, much stronger than levies. It does not account for any modifiers the owner might have.
Taught the AI to account for opposing Men-At-Arms strength when planning for wars, so it should be smarter on doing rough estimates of their own and opposing strengths. It does not account for any modifiers the owner might have.
Told the War Planner to better split up its strength based on the actual power of their units, where power is the sum of damage and toughness of the units multiplied by the number of troops in the regiment. It does not account for any modifiers the owner might have.

Taught the AI to do a rough estimate of knight power. It estimates each knight to have 10 prowess for simplicity. It does not account for any modifiers the owner might have.
