Hello everyone!

I know you are all eager to learn more about the Royal Court, but as we announced last week, we will go into more details once the Azure patch is released. If everything goes according to plan, and there are no unexpected events, we aim to release Azure next week! But let’s focus on today's small dev diary for now!

During the development of Crusader Kings III, we organized a community challenge where you could unlock unique cosmetics for the game, which we dubbed the Monarch’s Journey. With the 1.4.0 Azure patch, we’ve decided to make these cosmetics available for everyone!

It includes:
  • Headgear:
    • Hennin
    • Chaperon
    • Jester's Hat
  • Haircuts:
    • Miller
    • Miller Highlights
    • Jeanne d'Arc
    • Pageboy
    • Mullet
  • And the Wizard's Beard!
In order to celebrate this, we’ve also hooked some of these assets in to be used by random characters. For instance, Scots will be able to randomly use the Mullet haircut, while Frankish women will be able to use the Jeanne d’Arc haircut.

And because fashion changed over time, the Chaperon and Hennin will be available in the western world only after 1300.

In addition to that, we fixed several visual bugs highlighted by you:
  • Spouses of rulers will now once again wear clothes based on their spouse's culture
  • Arabic High Nobility will now use the Scholar's Turban and Caliphs will use the Caliphal Robes
  • The 'Spindly' Trait will not make people's limbs too thin anymore


On the AI side, we reworked how vassals handle holy war and added constraints on Feudal and Clans rulers to limit their aggression of Tribal rulers. These modifications still allow the Byzantine empire to expand but in a more elegant way. Let’s have a look at a few results from Observe mode!

And this is it for today! As mentioned at the beginning of this dev diary, we should be back next week with the changelog for the patch if everything goes well!

Until then, I wish you the best and, hopefully, have fun!

Thankfully. Monarch's Journey being randomly removed from CK2 before I could finish was very frustrating.
On the AI side, we reworked how vassals handle holy war and added constraints on Feudal and Clans rulers to limit their aggression of Tribal rulers. These modifications still allow the Byzantine empire to expand but in a more elegant way.
Good. Though I notice Byzantium is uniformly strong and intact in all of these screenshots as well. Perhaps some more functional turkic conquerors (the ones in CK2 never worked particularly well in my experience) or another Fourth Crusade mechanic is in order?
Proceeds to show bordergore
What is supposed to be gore? Bulgaria? That's better than what the borders in the balkans were in real life for a time. Obviously what they're referring to is the Byzzies wildly blobbing out of control into Russia.

oh god yes, 4th crusade is desperately needed into the game atm! it is such an important event that totally rearranges the power balance of the region, it's almost as crucial as getting the mongol invasions right.

fingers crossed for a simple 4th crusade event added soon! :)

Happy to see the MJ rewards used by the AI, but not happy to see that only some will be used by AI. Why is it that all of them aren't available to the AI?

The constraint for feudal realms invading Tribal realms seems a bit strange to me. I suppose it'll probably help fix the problem it's there to fix, but not allowing them to go to war until after their previously acquired county is converted to feudalism seems off to me. It may solve some or all of the problems with attacking tribals, but the way it does it just really makes no sense to me.

Why are those who did not participate in the challenge given our unique awards? So I was wasting my time getting the maximum points? Leave or make at least one hat for those who participated in good faith pls
You should have did them because it was fun. If you ever find yourself playing games for not-fun reasons, than stop immediately because you are using games wrong.

The event was randomly cancelled with no announcement and can no longer be done. As it is I think it would have been extremely unfair to keep them as rewards for only people who had unlocked them.

You got access to the content for a whole nine months before the people who didn't have time/didn't own CK2. You didn't have to pay money for it; you only had to play a game you (I hope) enjoyed (as @Cymsdale pointed out).

Plus, why would you want to bar other people from getting something which you got for free?

A very long drop-down list where you can only see a few items at a time is hard to find. For example, having filters or search parameters?

any chance for new Monarch's Journey challenges for CK3?
I don't even need any rewards, just more goals and leaderboards.
I agree! We need more challenges, and as rewards I want Chaperons and Hennins for my pops in Vicky 3!

honestly there need to be more counts added to the game, I like to play from the bottom and work my dynasty up to the top, and the fact that there is only a single count in wessex in 867, or counts in germany that are actually just the size of duchies, there are barely any counts to play as, and there should be more

Now the AI will not target Tribal realm if they have Tribal holding within their realm. They will have to first upgrade their holding before conquering more tribal holdings. So they will be less likely to expand into the steppes indeed.
Regarding the restriction on Vassals starting holy war, we limited them to target only neighboring lands.

Thanks for clarifying - was worried you meant more general restrictions that would affect the player too.

Fantastic news that you're planning to release next week - I wasn't expecting this early into summer.
