Do you believe that playing by the rules is for the timid and weak? Well, you are in the right place friend. Embark on a treacherous journey through the tangled webs of politics and ambition in "Chaos is my Ladder" for Crusader Kings III. Delve into a world where manipulation and intrigue reign supreme, inspired by the timeless wisdom that "Chaos isn’t a pit. Chaos is a ladder."

Forge your path to dominance through a myriad of political, diplomatic, and militaristic maneuvers. Engage in cunning schemes and backstabbing, or negotiate alliances and celebrate victories to bolster your influence. But beware—every choice you make has consequences, and the climb to power is fraught with peril.

In this mod, prisoner interactions take center stage, offering you the opportunity to sow dissent, incite revolts, and strike deals with captive nobles. Will you offer freedom to rebels in exchange for chaos, or grant titles to secure loyalty and information?

But the pursuit of power is not without its challenges. Navigate accusations of murder, spread legends of heroic deeds, and respond to plagues that threaten your legitimacy. Dynamic events and player choices ensure that no two playthroughs are alike, as you scheme your way to the top of the feudal hierarchy.

Embrace the chaos, seize the ladder, and carve your name into the annals of history as a master manipulator and ruler supreme. The ladder awaits—will you rise to the challenge?
