Crusader Kings III: Royal Court is an expansion for the grand strategy video game, Crusader Kings III developed by the Paradox Development Studio and is published by the company Paradox Interactive. Royal Court primarily reworks the court system adding a 3D Throne Room and court artifacts to the game, as well as changes to the game's culture system. It is considered to be a part of "Chapter 1" which is how Crusader Kings 3 splits its yearly content. Royal Court was in the first.

Gameplay

Royal Court's adds new mechanics such as the 3D Throne Room along with a new Court Artifacts feature allowing the player to decorate their throne room with numerous artifacts from their rule.[1] It also allows the player to hold court meetings where vassals and courtiers will come to the player with certain problems.[2] Royal Court adds a feature called "Court Grandeur" which allows the player to improve conditions at their court to attract higher quality court guests which can be recruited.[3] Artifact inspiration is where players can sponsor the creation of artifacts for the players throne room. This can be anything from a crown to a banner.[4] Royal Court changed how the culture system works in the game. It allows players to create their own culture by diverging away from a preexisting one. Doing so gives the player all the previous cultures innovations under a new cultural banner.[5] Players can also form Hybrid Cultures which is the fusion of two cultures innovations. Players can edit cultural traditions.

Development

Crusader Kings III: Royal Court was announced on 21 March in 2021. Marketing seemed to have an equal focus on the court features as well as the cultures as can be seen from announcements. Before release, Paradox released a series of Dev Diaries which let players look into the development of the DLC.
