Crusader Kings 3 Roads to Power is finally here, and not only is it a fantastic addition to the game, but this DLC brings so many amazing new features, ways to play, and revamps of older systems, that it might just be the largest and most comprehensive CK3 DLC to date.
Roads to Power is all about changing up what it means to play CK3, as Byzantium's new administrative realm mechanic finally takes us away from a feudal-centric governing system, to a much more administrative and rules-based system. At the same time, the brand new unlanded characters, allowing you to play as a mercenary and adventurer carving your way through the world, is incredible, and makes for an entirely new way to play that no other Paradox game offers in the same way.

With the administrative government they practically set the base also for playable republics.
Stop obsesssing over republics
@@WiseElderBull nevah
and with the unlanded, nomadic hordes too
@@WiseElderBullgive me roman republic or give me death
@@WiseElderBullrepublics are awesome, sorry
Honestly I really enjoy the 2d art direction they went with in the estate menu. I feel like it is more immersive and makes me feel like I'm truly living in the medieval time period.
yeah that's of course the other way of looking at it, and the question I'm sure art departments ask themselves constantly - is it more immersive to show off life as it was and how we would see it if we went back in time, or is it better to adopt the art styles they used back then to depict what they themselves saw? It's matter of taste at the end of the day, and even though I prefer the former, I absolutely agree it's a beautiful piece of work!
this is why I miss the 2D portraits of CK2
@@AndysParadox maps in the old times were also somzthing else!!
Hard disagree.
I really adore that art. I play with two friends, went on my camp and just went "Holy fuck, this looks really nice, I love it".
A dlc that feels like a dlc, finally...
honestly, I think it's the biggest and best PDX DLC since... EU4's Emperor, probably
Only took 4 years unfortunately
@@penzorphallos3199tours and tournaments was a real dlc
@@AndysParadoxNo step back was huge
@@captainpancake8177 Agree, this one is huge in comparison, but tours and tournaments added a lot also to the game.
Man I wish the tournament screen looked like the domicile screen. That 2D art direction is just so superior and less taxing.
a tale of two cities
if i'm not mistaken tournament screen was also 2D rendered image, but yeah domicile screen style way superior
what im gathering is everything they added is "pretty good"
but what **really** excites me, is what modders will do with these systems. incredible foundation for all the hard working modders out there.
AGOT is gonna be so much fun with landless
@paradoxexpress6976 same with elder kings 2
Can’t wait for the fellowship of the ring for the LOTR mod ❤
The Agot mod will have unwanted characters that can explore around
The elder scrolls mod will let you play skyrim in ck3
Finally we can play as the proper fellowship in the lord of the ring mod
And if the broze age mod was updated.. it would be fun exploring the old world as a unlanded character
Also the expanded map mod will literally let you play as a ronin
I'm excited to see what Princes of Darkness does with the new landless. I've always felt like Hunters are made for this.
Unlanded characters with armies-for-hire? Finally, I can role-play as medieval Big Boss.
jesus 4 years, in 6 years the game is going to be old like EU4 is now
I'm going to play as a custom genghis khan character and go roads to power in mongolia...
it's the perfect dlc for it!
I created Paul Atreides and I'm travelling through the Arabic desert, growing my desert power. One day I will become Emperor!
@@Kuhmuhnistische_Partei damn, not a bad idea!
He's in the new bookmark
@@Kuhmuhnistische_Parteihahaha I did that play through last dlc. Did a few CoA like the Atreides, and Harkonnen also the Dune poster of Paul in the desert. Uploaded them to the CoA subreddit.
Imagine if a modder turns the new unlanded lifestyle into an isekai playthrough with one of the various fantasy settings we get in anime/light novels. Leveling up and doing whatever you want into that fantasy world would be so fun.
LMAO bro can dream fr :D
be the change
We can at least hope to role-play something like this if/when the Elder Kings mod updates to use these systems, and if/when Anbennar for CK3 happens. I'm personally excited to see what Elf Destiny and Princes of Darkness does with this.
Finally I can play as "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court"
Good to known it's good
Calradian Kings is going to get interesting...
Lmaooo
Bannerkings
@@solinvictus2045 people are just going to Play bannerlord without the battles and better Dynasty roleplay in ck3
@@thunderstormhd4416 omg they can add the mod which lets you fight a battle in attila total war but maybe boot a custom generated battle in bannerlord instead, then we can have the best of both worlds
Time to play as Jeremus and get knocked out over and over and over again
OH MY DAAYYYYS. IM GONNA BE PLAYING AS UTRED RAGNARSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
oh my days lmao have fun!
This dlc is amazing but it is even more amazing for modders.
Elder Kings comes to mind, but every rpg adaptation is loving this.
How?
@@OogaBooga-i5c the landless mechanic is amazing as a frame for the basic adventurer party of any pen and paper game.
You wander around and solve quests
I've never been role playing person. But I love this dlc. I've made Jan Žižka few hundred years earlier. Made a living as a mercenary. Lost both eyes and then moved to theology and founded Hussitism and settled in Rome.
I cannot wait to forge an Imperial Prussian Empire.
Interesting, i might get it. Ck2 was one of my favourite of all time.
Seriously thinking of getting it
I love the medieval art
I love the new 2d artwork they've gone with for the camps/estates, but like you mentioned I wish the dev's would pick a style and stick with it. A 2.5d estate/camp similar to the tournament UI would be great but I imagine they probably didn't want to make a bunch of different models for the various upgrades. For things like the Royal Court where the actual characters are modeled, having it be in 3d is nice, but sometimes it definitely creates more work than it is worth. I guess we will see what direction the devs take from here!
Man, I would like if they improved something about armies and domain/city building.
@AndysParadox what map mod are you using ? the map looks amazing at 2:00

I need to know too! What is it?
@@AndysParadox thank you 🙏
Andy please tell us what's the map mod you're using 🙏

Wait they are adding content for the harrying of the north??? Was this in any dev dairy or video Paradox realeased?
Does the DLC come with a new map mode? Because it looks amazing!

One thing that I've asked about in every expansion to every game I've played since Sims 3 is how this affects normal gameplay. If I'm playing a Count or a King outside of the Byzantine Empire, as I expect I'm still going to be doing in most campaigns I play for the rest of CK3, will I notice any features from this expansion?
yes, obviously you can become unlanded for one and that's a whole deal on its own outside of the byzantine empire. there's also new events, crusades have been slightly revamped in their of their historicity and how they can change to become what the fourth crusade became, and you can also create administrative realms outside byzantium. and like x amount of other new stuff
I cant wait to it to come to console so I could make the hre an administrative government with premegeniture and now feudal elective law@AndysParadox
Really nice DLC. But the contracts are very unbalaced. Some take years and some a week but you gain the same amount of rewards. And it is also weird that it takes 6 months to build a "tent". I always wanted to have "housing" in CK and that is now somewhat here. Just hoped it will be also for feudal etc. What i still miss in CK3 is trading, theocracy/republic and a "build your own kingdom/county etc" at the start of the game like EU4 has.
We were one generation too late for the anarchy
The catholic crusade war is over power in my opinion
what is this graphic mod at 1:21
what are you referring to
I think it’s the dark ocean
Seems too good to be true but I definitely won't complain if it is
So just how powerful can you make your imperial army be compared to the army of a Clan or Feudal ruler?
The biggest question i have is, CK3 allow you to join the crusades yet?
Always allowed yoi to
im not getting paid for my contracts. is this a bug? I tried variety of jobs some dont pay especially cleaning up corruption.
is legitimacy fixed?
how do you make the map more EUIV like?

Am i the only one that the game hasn't updated to yet?
it has not come out yet
Empire of Romania, as a Romanian I do like that lol
I prefer you over that Bavarian fellow
why 😂
I'm not a fan of Estates being a Byzantine only thing, i don't really like to play in that area
They're an admin government thing. If there are other admin govs either through decision or game mode settings they'll have estates too.
There's a game mode that makes anyone kingdom tier or higher that starts with the August trait admin. Tried it as Great Moravia and it was 10/10.
Thats why I'm still waiting for finished game and dont bother playing CK3 yet
Saying that about any paradox game
See you in like 10 years then
A new start-date that gives you LESS time to play... Better than nothing, I suppose.
hahaha, it's an interesting scenario, and I bet most people dont play much longer than around 300 years in a playthrough anyway? but i could be wrong of course
@@AndysParadox every playthrough i do starts in 867 and goes until the end date 😂
Lol bit of revisionism in the beginning of your video. You have generally sung the praises of the dlc in your sponsored videos. You have gotten better but i have bought some terrible dlc based on your reviews in the past
I'll never give paradox another penny. I've had it with their BS.
i think we should get rid of historical accuracy completely and just forget about history...we should be able to do whatever we want in these games and even the tiniest meaningless county should be able to conquer the world with relative easy if given enough time into it...all this historical accuracy and making nations super weak just cuz history says so and cuz theyr tiny is bs....i should be able to conquer the world with a tiny castle with 100 guys in ireland ya know....or its just offensive and non inclusive and full of racist bigotry and sexism and homophobia and islamphobia...
lol use cheats and as for the rest lol what are you on
Keep yapping lil bro
I conquered the world with Ireland. Get good

Played as Rum last night and the 4th Crusade against Byzantium fizzled. So yeah it’s actually kinda tough now because they are powerful lol
The GREATEST dlc in history of CK3 ))))
It seems like the admin empire is easier than feudal. It makes me think that tribal should be able to convert to admin and or feudal insread of feudal first then admin. Reasons : 1. it is legitimatly easier to control. Feudal is kinda of a nightmare compared to admin unless you have high partition. Or can get your sons to take vows. 2. Admin is based off the roman republic/senate. So it is in a sense an earlier form of government compared to feudal. 3. Once you have your family in total or near total control of the empire and have a decent partition tech, and your dynasty is forming new branches and starting to fight with you over control, switching to feudal should weaken them( not sure havent done it yet but, based on how the game works it should).
How do I expand with an administrative government and counter the efficiency penalty your governors get if their theme is outside my top primary title?
Very well made and thorough review. Thanks!
Thank you for watching! :)
Occasionally Paradox actually puts some work into a DLC. Now if only this was the norm...
Your mic is pegging out and it's transmitting static. It's tough to listen to in my headphones. You need to get a cheap mixer, a better mic, turn the gain down, and move away a little from that particular mic if you don't want to change
Hopefully the next dlc focuses on France and the HRE and gives us a start date where you can play as Charlemagne
I feel the opposite regarding Estate/Tourney UI. I would rather the Tourney UI was in the manuscript style.
It's sooooooo good after over a 1000 hours in this game I thought I was completely burnt out but then this dlc dropped and now it's a whole new game
Did they fix the crusade system? Having a horde wipe little stacks as they trickle in is not fun.
Just needed 4 years to make the biggest empire playable. Good job paradox
Which map mod does he use I couldn't find. Any help would be much appreciated.
All I want from CK3 now is the ability to play as Republics
That Time I got reincarnated as the Holy Roman Emperor
Do you need legends of the dead (or w/e the last dlc was) to play this?
nope :)
Man I can't wait for the free update to come out
One of the most interesting time in medieval history.
is this PS5 compatible?
Appreciate the breakdown
Cries in console
4 years..
Super cool game
Yo is this the total war dude
Haha yes
