Cube Engineers Episode 52: By God Alone for Crusader Kings 3 Review: A Masterclass in Game System Redesigns

We are back on the rails again for another exciting episode of Cube Engineers!

In this episode, TrainmasterGT reviews the new By God Alone expansion for Crusader Kings III from a game-design standpoint, through the lens of two full campaigns he completed. By God Alone reworks the religion system in CK3, allowing faiths to evolve dynamically over time. Characters can also cultivate a personal relationship with their respective faiths through the new personal tenets system, creating new opportunities for roleplay and historically inspired gameplay. Learn how this expansion successfully executes the new religion system, and what lessons game designers can learn from its implementation!

All Aboard!
