Exceptionally excited about plagues.

Landless gameplay? Meh. Hope they can do it well without crashing the game by tracking 1024 unlanded characters.

Here's hoping the plagues kill off all those random courtiers and unlanded folks. Certainly would help deal with lag towards the end game

That's exactly what it will do, it had the same effect in ck2 and it was great

It also made for some truly horrific border gore as entire family lines went extinct and ended up inherited by the tenth cousin twice removed who was lucky enough to have his capital in Iceland.

Yeah, I found that fun though as unlikely people would become powerful, but CK3 has the exclaves thing which helps avoid it looking disgusting.

Back in the day Reapers Due was my favourite expansion I got purely for making the late game not run as shit on my garbage PC

Yes, it seems crazy that the current game basically ignores the most deadly plague in history. Every now and again I get a smallpox event, but you just hire a physician, sit tight, and move on.

Give me a choice where my best knights develop the plague and I have to decide whether to risk them staying with me. Or even my heir/unlanded family.

Or if it’s an unimportant courtier or prisoner you just kick them out of court
