Crusader Kings III’s new event pack lets you wander your lands in search of tales to tell

Paradox Interactive’s long-standing Crusader King’s success story has a new event pack alongside a huge patch adding more than ever to the Crusader Kings III universe.

The Wandering Nobles event pack and free 1.14.0 content patch include the ability to wander around developing your character with events happening to them as they travel the land.

As with all of these games, the DLC that comes out over time really enhances the base experience, far beyond the scope of the original game. – something which Paradox – who has had a rough year to say the least – has previously been criticized heavily for. The current reviews on Steam are mixed but this is misleading as a lot of downvoting goes on due to this DLC policy, whereas many say Wandering Nobles is more than worth the $5 asking price.
