Crusader Kings III: Khans of the Steppe is the second major expansion for the grand strategy role-playing simulation, Crusader Kings III. This DLC introduces nomadic gameplay, requiring players to manage a mobile society centered around Hordes, adapting to environmental changes, and pursuing conquests across the Steppe.
The expansion implements Nomadic Government mechanics, which focus on Hordes and migration, alongside Dominance and Obedience systems. It features the Steppe Region, where a dynamic Steppe Season system alters land fertility, necessitating continuous adaptation and movement. A Client States System offers new alliance and resource management options, providing a flexible alternative to traditional vassalage. Players can assume the role of the Great Khan, leading devastating conquests and unifying the Steppes. Mongol-specific content includes starting as Temüjin, experiencing the Kurultai council, and engaging with a new Mongol succession type and events like Tsagaan Sar.
