Crusader Kings III: Wards & Wardens

Not everyone gets a carefree childhood filled with toys and games. Some children bear the weight of duty on their shoulders, facing years of rigorous schooling and serious training, all while being acutely aware of the responsibilities that await them in adulthood. In this modern strategy classic, child rulers and guardians take center stage.

Crusader Kings III: Wards & Wardens is a new event pack for Paradox Interactive’s award-winning medieval history game, renowned for its deep strategy and immersive role-playing. The theme, chosen by a vote from the Crusader Kings community, explores the unique challenges of raising young princes and nobles in a world where eternal glory is just a battle away, and danger lurks in every shadow.

Learning Skills and Building Character

Many new education events add greater depth to the training of the young people at court. Educating the children is now more interactive, encompassing both formal tutoring and essential life lessons. You can shape not only their abilities but also their personalities, steering them toward more acceptable or desirable traits for their future roles.

Moreover, education doesn’t have to end once formal tutoring is complete. Adult characters can continue their education by attending university, enhancing their understanding of the world.

The Potential for Power

The role of royal and noble children as political figures cannot be overlooked. Even the youngest children can be influenced by various court members—councillors, knights, and even Wet Nurses, a new and significant position, all play crucial roles in a royal child’s development.

Child rulers are particularly sensitive to influence and persuasion, making it essential for them to be vigilant against unscrupulous regents who might seek to undermine their authority. Can you prove your worth through a childhood filled with danger?

Hostages

Noble children may also serve a vital diplomatic and strategic role as hostages in foreign courts, introducing a new layer of strategy to your court dynamics. By raising the children of rival courts as loyal allies, you can weaken the resistance of hostile factions. However, these young hostages may find themselves torn between divided loyalties—what is owed to duty versus what is owed to gratitude.

The Crusader Kings III: Wards & Wardens event pack will fill your court with the laughter (or tears) of children as you embark on a journey to rewrite the history of the Middle Ages.
