Crusader Kings 3 already includes a robust ruler designer, allowing you to form your character into a bronze adonis that makes even the Gods envious (or a hideous freak better kept in the palace dungeon), but Fullscreen Barbershop goes a step further by letting you show them off for all the world to see with additional screenshot functionality. Providing no new mechanical additions, Fullscreen Barbershop centres instead on that most important aspect of Crusader Kings 3 – the single greatest determinant of your rulers’ fate:their looks. Galavanting in the Bronze Age has never been so fun. There’s also a novel ‘Distance Efficiency’ mechanic, which lowers levy and tax output the further a territory lies from your capital. Expect a new tributary system, more innovations and tenets, and new clothing and armour added to character portraits. Additional era-specific cultural traits and innovations are included, alongside new religious tenets, such as pharaohs, oracles, and mythological traditions.Īlthough a joy to play at the moment, the mod isn’t complete, and its creators promise more content will be added in the future.
