Description

The lands of Persia are well-populated, rich in resources and often a crossroads of empire. Join the struggle for medieval dominance in this historically important and fascinating region in Legacy of Persia, a new Flavor Pack for Crusader Kings III.

Inspired by the historic collapse of the Abbasid Caliphate in the 9th century Anarchy at Samarra, Legacy of Persia introduces the Iranian Intermezzo, a competition for power in the region. Building on the Struggle System introduced in the Fate of Iberia flavor pack, Legacy of Persia adds even more culturally important flavor and changes to realms in the region.

Features of Crusader Kings III: Legacy of Persia include:

The Iranian Intermezzo: The Abbasid Caliphate is on the decline, and strong-willed Iranian rulers are set upon independence and a new future for the region. Will you forge a new Empire, subjugate the faltering Caliphate for your own benefit, or see a resurgent Caliphate bring order to the region?

More Historical Flavor: New decisions, interactions and buildings for rulers in the Persian region, as well as special content highlighting the importance of clan leadership and protecting the frontier regions.

Changes to Iranian Cultures: New Iranian traditions include innovative Court Scholars, unique Men-at-Arms, and powerful new buildings to bring riches out of barren lands.

New Art and Music: Persian characters get new clothing, Persian buildings get a redesign and the UI can take on a more Iranian appearance in this Flavor Pack. There are also 8 new music tracks, some cued to events and some to set the mood.

I was initially excited for this DLC when it was announced. Persia was an area that lacked a lot of flavor, having like 2 decisions relating to Zoroastrianism and becoming the Saoshayant. This DLC aims, like many others

I really wanted to like Legacy of Persia... Don't get me wrong, it adds a few features I very much appreciate including rework of the Clan system, making the region of Persia far more interesting with many new sects,

Reviewing (mostly) every game (or DLC) in my library, part 127: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆☆☆ (7/10) Crusader Kings III: Legacy of Persia is a focused flavor pack that zeroes in on the Iranian plateau, specifically during the

Even though I bought this DLC at a 50% discount, I still think it's not worth the price. Perhaps a 80% discount would be more reasonable.

This DLC is better than the Iberian Struggle DLC. The struggle phases here are awesome and the revival of the Persian Empire with Zoroastrianism is really cool. However, it is extremely short, my first ruler is often

I loved that this expansion helped me enjoy playing as muslim culture civs again. The improvement to clan realms is pretty essential if you want to play outside of the Europe. Playing in the 867 start date in Iran was
