Comparison of Crusader Kings 3 vs Crusader Kings 2 vs Crusader Kings 1:
In the year of 2004 ‘Paradox’ launched
‘Crusader Kings’ which is a strategy game. Initially the impact was not so high
among the audience. However, during the next 8 years the audience were
attracted which encouraged the ‘Paradox Development Studio’ to develop a new
version of the game. Accordingly, ‘Crusader Kings 2’ was released in 2012 which
immediately captured the imagination of audience and even the critics showered
praises on it.
Because of public enthusiasm and love
for the game, the franchise soon developed into million-unit seller and raised
the prestige of the company sky high.
Now ‘Crusader Kings 3’ is going to be
released in September 2020. The game reflects company’s intention to make
renewed initiative which clearly means responding to the interest of devoted fans
as well as capturing fresh audience.
Playing ‘Crusader Kings’ is a unique experience

It is believed that numerous
characters playing their respective roles in the ‘Crusader Kings 3’ are
controlled by artificial intelligence and every one of them carries a
perspective of all others. That perspective is prejudiced by social status,
religion and pedigree.
‘Matilda of Tuscany’ is a stronger and
dominating character in the game. She is considered as a powerful historical
character that has stamped her marks on the history of ‘medieval Italy’. She is
on good terms with the pope. The disjointed lords of ‘Roman’ empire are fully
indulgent in exploitation of their subjects and also making conspiracies
against each other. These circumstances offered ample opportunity to the adventurous
lady to stamp her marks on the history of ‘medieval Italy’.
In ‘Crusader Kings 3’, characters are
conspicuous by changing their stats including their temperaments and behaviors.
Some of their characteristics can be acquired by their descendants. The
characters can decide the mode of their children’s education & can help
them groom.
The
ambitious ‘Matilda’ soon got the approval of ‘Domenico II’ for marrying his son
‘Andrea Contarini’ with conditions that children from the wedlock will assume ‘Matilda’s
dynasty’. She gave birth to a male inheritor and because of 3-D representation;
the baby is amazingly looking-like the mother. This lookalike will pass-down
for ages.
With the active support and coordination
of her husband, ‘Matilda’ became stronger and powerful. She quickly conquered,
merged many areas and established a United Kingdom of Italy.
‘Crusader Kings 3’ is not ready yet
and will be released in September of this year, but people are already excited
to know the fate of ‘Matilda’.
The ‘Crusader Kings’, which was released
in 2004, was a bit strange. After 8 years of waiting the ‘Paradox Development
Studio’ released ‘Crusader Kings 2’ which captured the imagination of many. Now
after another 8 years it is preparing to release ‘Crusader Kings 3’ and fans
are eagerly waiting for the game.
‘Crusader Kings 3’ is a ‘Role Playing Game’
which will be released in September.
