I've explored CK3's lifestyle trees pretty thoroughly now, so I quite fancy some new branches, or even some whole new trees, to work my way down. A lot of them were originally introduced through CK2 DLC, and while Paradox says it doesn't want to repeat itself when it comes to DLC, additional governments could still be included in expansions with new themes. CK2 already offers a foundation for plenty of governments and unique systems for the likes of the Byzantines, so I'd be surprised if most of them didn't return in some form. Playing a big empire is still a significant departure from ruling a tiny kingdom, even if they're both presented as feudal, but there is still so much room to make them feel more distinct. Empires like the Byzantine Empire and Holy Roman Empire don't feel quite like the unique entities that they really were, and if you fancy getting rich as a Venetian doge you're shit out of luck. The vast majority of features added to CK2 over the years have made their way over to CK3 in some shape, but the number of government types took a bit of a hit. This is probably something we'll see expanded over the course of multiple expansions. These will be introduced in the free update that launches alongside the first DLC. The next update, 1.3, will make changes to Italy and Ireland, changing the number of counties and holdings, and winter weather effects are also being added to the map. We can expect the map in general to evolve quite a bit. This time, though, I'm hoping I'll finally be able to become the Emperor of China. With it still came new trade and tributary systems, as well as the perpetual risk of being trampled by Chinese troops. Jade Dragon, the CK2 DLC, introduced China as an off-screen influence and threat, spicing up the east without expanding the map or adding East Asian dynasties. More dynasties, cultures, clothes for my royal wardrobe-there's a lot to mine in an area this large. The eastern edge of the map is conspicuously torn, offering a not-so-subtle hint that Paradox has already got some plans for East Asia.
Even larger than CK2, thanks to the scale being kicked up a few notches.
