![]() ![]() It looks like they fixed and improved quite a few systems to make for a bit more interesting (late) game. Though whether or not I'll get the new DLC at full price or later at a discount, I am looking forward to the 1.7 patch. As for Royal Court, I don't quite feel like decorating my abode, and the events that unfold in the court are a bit lackluster and repetitive, IMO. So events surrounding friends (and a bit less so, rivals) is something that'd bring more variety to my campaigns, while I'm not feeling inclined to start in Scandinavia or Spain. There's so much benefits from having friends (they are unable to join hostile factions, they prevent accumulation of stress, etc.) that playing as anything but a great diplomat almost feels like a chore. The reason I'd love to have this is that I usually gravitate towards rulers highly skilled in Diplomacy. I would not be surprised if this goes for 6.99, now that the price for the much "bigger" Flavor Packs has increased. Finally, if you are worried the game might end up being another Imperator, just get it on Steam, play it a couple hours and refund it, then buy it when you think it's ready or at your desired pricing (hell you can even just use it as a demo and then buying it on a third party store).Of all the DLC released so far, this is the one that I'm actually happy to get. If on the other hand you like the game but aren't 100 % sure, Black Friday and then Christmas will only be a few months after launch so pricing should at the very least stay competitive. ![]() The advice I've given to friends is basically that if they like what they see till launch (we do have weekly Dev Diaries, monthly Q&A, videos, gaming site reviews etc so it's really not a blind pre-order) and know they will be playing the game and getting the various DLCs, the Royal Edition acquired through third parties actually lets you save quite a bit to the point that not even earlier sales might match that price. You can check the details here on IsThereAnyDeal, but the gist of it is that the Royal Edition checks out at something like $55-57 which is a solid deal. If you know you'll be buying even just the first major expansion, the Royal Edition lets you save some money while also giving you a few cosmetics.ĭon't forget that if you aren't looking to buy CKIII via the Steam store because you might want to refund it, the game is way cheaper to get through authorized third party sellers. Here's a breakdown:ĬK3 + all DLCs bought separately (1 expansion + 2 region DLCs + Abbasid Cosmetics + HRE cosmetics): $100 (same in Euro)ĬK3 + gameplay DLC only bought separately (1 expansion + 2 region DLCs): $94ĬK3 + Expansion Pass (1 expansion + 2 region DLCs + Abbasid cosmetics): $85ĬK Royal Pre-Order (1 expansion + 2 region DLCs + Abbasid cosmetics + HRE cosmetics): $75 In terms of pricing, the Royal Edition should be a good deal if you plan to get all the gameplay content Paradox will be putting out in the first year or so. Because of this they'll also release smaller DLC ($7) focused on regions in-between major expansions. As far as DLC goes, Paradox basically said that expansions will be bigger compared to CKII ones, making them longer to develop and also more expensive ($30).
