Crusader Kings III: Silk & Silver (DLC)

This expansion is for players who already know Crusader Kings III and want to see the medieval world through the eyes of a merchant instead of yet another king. Everything revolves around money, caravans and clever deals, with politics running alongside, which makes a nice change of pace. What to expect: - The first evenings go to hunting profitable routes and signing your first serious contracts, and once the company grows, new challenges show up. - The three paths (caravaneer, moneylender, artisan) change how you play, and each one feels distinct. - A landless merchant family has to live on connections and influence, so the usual royal tricks work differently here. - If you enjoy running an economy and slowly pushing a market under your control, this expansion can hold you for a long time.
