On 9 September, the 4X strategy game Crusader Kings III will get a major Coronations add-on

Paradox Interactive has announced the next add-on for the popular historical 4X-strategy Crusader Kings III, which will be called Coronations.

Here's What We Know

The DLC will be released on the 9th of September and will add lavish ceremonies of ascension to the throne and related mechanics of state management to the game.

The main features of the Coronations add-on are:

• New "Coronation" activity - players will be able to organise grand ceremonies, gathering vassals and guests to legitimise their reign. Selected "Intentions" - from the desire to impress the public to weaken enemies - will influence the course of events.
• "Vows of Rule": after coronation, a ruler may make vows - such as to expand the kingdom, delve deeper into religion, or improve the development of the country. Successful fulfilment will bring bonuses, while failure will bring reputational loss.
• "Manipulation and Intrigue": the coronation ceremony is not just a celebration, but an opportunity to strengthen positions, undermine the reputation of rivals, or even eliminate them physically.
• "Choice of Crowning": from the priest to laying it on your own, the decision affects prestige and consequences.

The DLC will add drama and depth to the early stages of the reign, making the coronation a crucial political act. Overall, Coronations will be part of the fourth chapter of Crusader Kings III's content plan, along with the massive For All Under Heaven expansion covering East Asia.
