Crusader Kings III - Roads to Power DLC Europe | Steam

Climb the ranks of the Byzantine Empire and seize power

Rule through the new Administrative Government system

Crusader Kings III: Roads to Power is a Major Expansion that introduces new forms of government, political progression, and adventure, with a particular focus on the Byzantine Empire and its complex internal dynamics.

The DLC allows you to experience an administrative system alternative to traditional feudalism, where governors, influential families, and officials constantly compete for prestige, territories, and appointments.

Maintaining control requires political skill, the ability to manage rivalries, and a strong network of alliances.

Build and develop your Family Estate

Roads to Power introduces the Family Estate, which serves as the center of your house’s power even when you do not directly control other territories.

You can expand the estate by constructing new buildings and improvements, gradually increasing the prestige and influence of your family.

The Family Estate becomes a permanent base from which you can plan new political strategies, support members of your dynasty, and prepare your rise toward increasingly important offices.

Accumulate Influence and secure the most prestigious positions

The new Influence system allows you to compete directly within the administrative bureaucracy.

You can increase your character’s prestige, strengthen your family’s position, and use accumulated Influence to secure governorships and other important appointments.

Even if you begin as a landless noble, you can gradually build a political network capable of taking you to the most important provinces and, eventually, set your sights on the imperial throne.

Experience a new life as a landless Adventurer

Roads to Power radically expands gameplay possibilities by allowing you to live as a landless Adventurer.

You can travel freely across the medieval world without being tied to a specific realm or holding.

Accept contracts, build the reputation of your followers, accumulate gold and prestige, and travel across distant lands in search of new opportunities.

Once you have gained enough power, you can choose to settle down and finally take control of a territory of your own.

Influence succession and determine the future of the Empire

Within the Administrative Government system, succession does not depend solely on bloodlines.

You can use your Influence to support your preferred candidate and reshape the political balance of the Empire.

The successor may be a member of the imperial family, a powerful noble, a military commander, or another character capable of gathering enough support.

The Emperor can also choose to share power through forms of co-rule, creating new political balances and additional opportunities.

Immerse yourself in the politics of the Byzantine Empire

Roads to Power significantly deepens the Byzantine experience with new events, activities, monuments, and dedicated content.

Chariot races and other cultural elements help make Constantinople and the Empire even more distinctive.

Internal politics become a central part of gameplay: families compete for influence, offices, and territories, while the ruler must keep ambitious governors and rival factions under control.

Discover new cosmetic content inspired by Byzantium

The expansion also introduces numerous visual elements inspired by Byzantine culture.

These include new court clothing, visual assets, event illustrations, monuments visible on the map, and new holding designs.

The DLC also includes a dedicated Byzantine throne room for Royal Court sessions and new music inspired by Orthodox sacred chants.
