Beautiful, terribly randomly generated poetry comes to the medieval great strategy game Crusader Kings 3 as part of the next update, and players can even torture enemies to submission with the worst of their verses.
Expanding Crusader Kings 2’s Poet feature, and Crusader Kings 3’s effort will bring revised stats, character interactions, and, more importantly, the random generation of poetry, meaning you can spend all day in the digital minds of rhyming lovers. be enchanted.
Crusader Kings 3 – Release Trailer.
Poetry will be generated in the game by combining a specific theme with one of five overarching themes – romance, legacy, mourning, strife and incompetence – enabling characters to influence events with a catchy rhyming couplet or two. Here is one of the examples that was randomly compiled as part of Paradox’s latest blog post.
Poetically inclined characters can send poems to most people within diplomatic range, and the result will depend on the theme. A romantic poem, for example, will make the recipient more like the author, and a poem about mourning will also improve relationships, but also give the recipient a stress loss – if the content of course is not extremely inflammatory, of course.
Most importantly, however, poetic characters can summon their inner Vogon and torture their prisoners by forcing them to listen to their very worst work. “As with every use of the torture interaction,” Paradox explains, “it can cause an awful lot of tension.”
Poetry will be on its way to Crusader Kings 3 in the game’s upcoming 1.3 patch, which also introduces Winter as a game mechanic and brings several other additions – including the ability to wear the Pope’s hat – as outlined in Paradox’s latest mail.
Crusader Kings 3’s 1.3 update will be accompanied by the game’s first major DLC drop, which Paradox will unveil as part of the Paradox Insider livestream event. It will be broadcast on Twitch at 19:00 UK time / 11:00 PT on 13 March.
