Way of Life type DLC?

[Canlocu]

Is there a Way of Life like DLC yet?

[Astariol]

The whole game is a Way of Life DLC, and the two main DLCs like Royal Court and Tours and Tournaments just flesh it out more.

I would not say, that Royal Court does anything, besides enabling a 3D Throne Room, who you have to visit, every 5 years, from all the 2 Expansions CK3 has get, Royal Court is the worst one, where T&T, has nearly the same content as Holy Fury for CK2.

Yeah Royal Court is dreadful.
T&T has positive reviews currently. But I don't really see the value of it. I expect this to drop fairly soon.

But T&T, is a lot better than Royal Court will ever be, unless of course, the CK3 Team split their Team into an Expansion and Free Patch Team, like Stellaris has done it.

"Way of LIfe" is in the core game. The base game took the principles of Way of Life and expanded upon them substantially.

Most of the content of T&T is the in the free update. I think the price is to pay for something free, to support to have more content.

And the events DLC should totally be free but it's not

Yeah events DLC is... a tricky subject. On the one hand, it takes a LOT of work writing out all those events, making sure all the variables are coded in properly, and so forth. But on the other, given that it's something the player doesn't "feel" the way more beefy content is felt through regular play, a lot of people will be offended at having to pay for it.

So I can see why they did it, but I can see why people don't want it done.

A lot of work to write these events my bum. Writing a string in c++ with an engine that can render the text the way you want is trivial.

As a writer, trust me. It's not. If writing strings were trivial, J. K. Rowling and George R. R. Martin wouldn't have the money they do.

Stated differently, there are 20.7 MB worth of files in the "events" folder for CK3. 20.7 MB of raw text strings. For comparison, there's a D&D book covering the hyper-popular Tal'Dorei setting - just a setting book, nothing much mechanical - replete with full-page and smaller illustrations in full color that's only about 2.5x larger in size and it sells for $25.

What I'm saying is, writing a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of text his hard work, even without variables that need to actually function. I mean the entire game is just a compilation of "a string written in C++ with an engine that can render text the way you want". Is the game not worth money because Notepad++ exists?

Edit: Nice, here's a relevant post from someone else's topic just now.

This got pretty deep.

I mainly miss seducing my enemies wives, implant a child of my own and then have the wife betray my enemy so my child can rule that land. Having kids in each realm is the silent win.

Is that back in the game?

Carry on philosophers!!

Yep, that's been in since vanilla. 👍

Way of Life was integrated into the core of the game since release.

It's basically called Focus in this game. There are 3 tree's for each focus. Each of those actually unlocks more events, and more things you can do. I know lots of people just get the Heath tree so their ruler lives a long time, but the other focus options often have lots of good unlocks in different ways. So not only do they unlock the way of life style events, they also give skills, like adding a new scheme type, or a new bonus to how you earn money or prestige.

They are also adding to it as they add DLC, making the trees have more options to improve the way of life feel.
