Crusader Kings 3 is shaping up to be a game with a rich modding community, just like its predecessor. Many franchise veterans fondly remember Crusader Kings 2‘s post-apocalyptic North American mod, “After the End Fan Fork,” and the self-explanatory “A Game of Thrones Mod.” However, Crusader Kings 3 modders are seeking to bring a different medieval fantasy series into the game: The Lord of the Rings.
Crusader Kings 3 is already a robust, complex game, and it has included some elements in the base game that were made available via DLC in CK2 like playable rulers from more parts of the map than just Europe. Even without mods, the game is capable of creating some truly interesting stories, which is made even more complex with the roleplay and dynasty control elements.
The official Crusader Kings 3 Twitter account spotlighted the “LoTR: Realms in Exile” mod today, which allows the player to step into the shoes of the Riders of Rohan, a heroic cavalry that features in the franchise’s books and films. This CK3 modding project intends to branch off from just one group of people eventually, and plans to gradually add in experiences from the rest of Middle-earth.
Players can choose to play as Theoden, the King of Rohan; as the backstabbing wizard Saruman the White; or even as Wulfgar Brynjarsson of Dunland, a character from the “Age of the Ring” mod for the strategy game Battle for Middle-earth. The mod creators promise an incredibly detailed map made by modders from teams that have worked with CK2, Imperator: Rome, and Europa Universalis 4. The mod is still a work-in-progress, but the Riders of Rohan experience is currently playable.
The mod’s Steam Workshop page mentions it is looking for writers, artists, and modders who share a passion both for The Lord of the Rings and Crusader Kings 3. The hiring call mentions that people with a specific interest or area of expertise in particular LoTR events or places are welcome, as the modding project plans to hit more areas of Middle-earth and make this an even more high-quality CK3 mod. Those interested can join the team’s Discord to share their work.
While some people prefer using CK3 to cannibalize the Pope and enact other silly situations, other people will spend hours trying to represent their favorite fandoms in-game. Of course, given the high level of complexity in Crusader Kings 3, pretty much any major pursuit will take a ton of time and effort, and everyone has different goals and interests in playing strategy games such as these.
Crusader Kings 3 is available for PC.
