Chief among the additions in Fates Of Iberia is the new Struggles system, which is moddable and customisable. Paradox haven’t said much about what this entails, but from the screenshots they’ve shared on Steam it looks like Struggles will affect particular regions. Struggles have distinct phases that your ruler will need to navigate with their decisions and actions, and each phase seems to have effects on war, culture and faith. There are a few options on how to resolve Struggles through compromise, like maintaining the status quo rather than trying to achieve dominance or détente.
Current phase: Hostility. Sounds like Crusader Kings 3 alright.

The first DLC pack forCrusader Kingswas Northern Lords – Vikings, obvs – in March last year.Nate called it“a feast for roleplayers”. The Royal Court expansion was announced all the way back in May, but was postponed until this February due to“stability” concerns from Paradox. Nate took a look last month atwhy Crusader Kings 3 still feels fresh after 18 monthsof courtly intrigue. He recently regaled the world with several tales of brave Gigaknight andhis spawntoo, the result ofmaking a Crusader Kings 3 ruler with every stat set to max.
