Description

Beware, ruler - tread carefully with those you call friend or enemy; they are two sides of the same coin. Your relationships matter more than ever, and with Crusader Kings III: Friends & Foes, witness those closest to you come alive in the most intimate detail.

Over one hundred unique new experiences of medieval larger-than-life drama wait to be discovered in the new event pack. From rival noble houses holding lifelong grudges to childhood bullies, summer crushes, and spoiling spouses with lavish gifts. Your ruler’s everyday existence has never been more fraught - or more exciting - than with Crusader Kings III: Friends & Foes.

False Friends and Open Enemies



Family, friends, and those out for your blood are fully brought to life in this rich and stirring event pack.

  • Your ruler’s day-to-day is filled with a myriad of new events. Experience over one hundred player-driven stories involving childhood, memories, nemeses, wrangling unruly sons, or wooing your significant other with sumptuous attention.
  • With a little help from your friends, uncover novel ways to become pals with those you hold dear or even achieve the coveted best friend status.
  • Be prepared for ever more dangerous rivals, sharpening their vengeful knives to get back at you. Or pre-empt your nemesis with devious new options… if you dare.

Memories, Those Sweet Memories!



Know thy past to understand the present.

  • Your characters will reminisce about their personal history with those closest to them, be it a romantic getaway or the painful humiliation that is the seed of a well-nurtured murder plot.
  • Childhood is a place where happy memories rest… or not. Experience a character’s youth in full, from brutish bullies to wistful teenage love.
  • Past deeds will not be forgotten. Be watchful of the wrath of rival noble houses, plotting to right a perceived wrong, even after many generations.

The Crusader Kings III: Friends & Foes event pack sets the mood with several new music pieces to accompany your ruler’s conspiring and scheming. New soundtracks are general, Western European, and Arabian-themed tunes.

And remember, your majesty: keep your friends close and your enemies even closer.

Buy this DLC if you hate yourself and do not value your money. You pay for content that only makes your game worse. House Feuds are an interesting idea with a very stupid implementation. A random event deciding that

Reviewing (mostly) every game (or DLC) in my library, part 128: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆☆☆☆☆ (5/10) Crusader Kings III: Friends & Foes was the game’s first event pack—and it feels like it. Marketed as a way to deepen interpersonal

Most of these event packs don’t do much, but I reckon this is the only one that might just make you experience worse. While the events are fine, I suppose, this whole DLC is only enjoyable if you like killing people and

One of the most paltry dlcs around that really just makes the game worse, just more popups to click through, if you've read them once, you will never want to read them again, but they keep popping up. Some random dude

The flavour text and story additions of this are kinda okay, though it really does not add much and takes away from you're own kinda role play like character building. What I hate is just how more frequent it makes
