Crusader Kings 3's first big patch drops this week, and it's huge

The first major patch for Crusader Kings III arrives on the morrow, which means it's a very special day. Today, we get to comb through the changelog and see what kinds of fixes and updates are on the way to Paradox's latest grand strategy game. We're in luck, too, because this really is a big 'un.

In addition to the usual funny ones like "Reclusive characters will no longer host feasts" and "You will no longer be stressed out if a spouse you dislike dies", there are some important changes in Crusader Kings III update 1.1.0 that could have an impact on the way you play. Notably, the so-called 'North Korea strategy' we highlighted a couple weeks ago is going to be essentially unusable going forward, since this patch increases the maximum penalty for being above the domain limit to 100%.

Again, the changelog for 1.1.0 is huge, and the updates are broadly categorised into the headings of Game Balance, Interface, Art, Localisation, Game Content, User Modding, Databases, and Bugfixes. Paradox has been hard at work, it seems, and no detail is too big or too small to catch the attention of its industrious medieval engineers.
