Steelkeep99’s mod combines the two series, changing the setting ofCrusader Kings 3from Afro-Eurasia to Fodlan, the setting ofFire Emblem: Three Houses. The mod recreates the game world fairly accurately, with the main three countries of the game, the Adrestian Empire, the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus, and the Leicester Alliance, as well as their rulers: Edelgard von Hresvelg, Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd, and Claude von Riegan.
The mod takes place duringThree Houses' timeskip, and it portrays the period in an incredible amount of detail, such as Claude not yet being in charge of the Alliance at the time. The war between the three nations hasn’t yet started yet either; possibly to allow for more player freedom, and possibly because the kind of three-way war depicted in the game wouldn’t work underCrusader Kings 3’s rules.
TheFire Emblemseries has always set its drama around feudal politics between dynasties and vassals, so it can fit seamlessly in the mechanics of theCrusader Kingsseries. Some fans may still want to seethe update to add same sex marriage, so that fan favorites like Edelgard or Linhardt can get married to someone of the same sex, as they can inThree Houses.
Crusader Kings 3is out now for PC.
