“Women are also more visually present in Crusader Kings than ever before,” developers wrote in an April update at the official website. The prominence of women in Crusader Kings 3 goes well beyond menu settings, however. There’s also an “inverted” setting, which flips the script and creates a pre-modern world where women lead and men can be married off as chattel. Flip that toggle to “equality,” however, and the rules of inheritance, among other things, apply to women the same as they do men. In the default position, the laws of the land and the tenets of the major religions all uphold a male-dominated society. One of those toggles adjusts the game’s gender-equality settings. But, there’s also a list of starting conditions - toggles that you can flip to change how the game itself actually works. If none of those strike your fancy, you can head off on your own by plucking an obscure regent from literally anywhere on the map.

That includes letting them tinker with the sexual and religious norms common to the feudal world.Ĭrusader Kings 3 features dozens of pre-generated starting characters spread all across the world, with timelines that kick off in either the ninth or the 11th century. But, at its core, the game is a simulation custom-made to allow players to explore alternate histories.

Epic grand strategy role-playing game Crusader Kings 3 is one of the best PC games in a generation.
