Updated Septemby Allisa James: Crusader Kings 3 continues to be incredibly popular among its user base, thanks to its rich and accurate depiction of historical events, religions, cultures, and ethnicities, political intrigue at every turn, and well-executed simulation gameplay. It can be hard to anticipate what those mystery characters are capable of.
Something else to be aware of is that almost all rulers seem to have their traits randomized. Something to note when perusing rulers: many seem to be without any family, but will in fact have one generated for them as long as 'Generate Families' in Game Rules is set to 'On.' For a harder early game, players should forego having an heir at the start of play. Some characters, though, just have it rough from the very beginning - whether it's due to possessing no natural heirs, being a child themselves during times of great upheaval, a treacherous court, an immediate threat from another kingdom, or some other impending disaster on the horizon. It's along the sordid, chaotic lifetimes of Crusader Kings 3 characters that most of their challenges pop up.
