Stories may be long or short, some are quiet and some are chaotic. And more than that, it is an engine for storytelling. But more than either of things, it is a history simulation.

The Swedish King offered to surrender under a peculiar condition. Though the Vikings were fierce, they simply couldn’t match the numbers of the Wessex armies, or equipment. So Æthelstan battled to complete his kingdom, facing the young Swedish King in battle. Still there was one small Welsh county that eluded him, controlled by the Swedes after they landed their longships there. The south and west of the British Isles became one of the wealthiest kingdoms in the world. Instead he formed a new kingdom, and called the whole thing Wessex.

The Vikings won the war, but Æthelstan held on to his lands. He joined his northern neighbors in the fight against the Viking sons of the great Ragnarr Lothbrok, but the fighting was far enough north that the lands of Wessex were spared from the worst of the pillaging. Æthelstan was the Petty King of Wessex in the late 9 th Century. But CK3 has a clarity of vision that makes it more than the sum of its parts and elevates it past anywhere the series has gone before. The latest entry does some of the things you would expect. Crusader Kings 3 is the latest entry in a long-running series of genre-bending PC games. Medieval Europe has been portrayed in countless strategy games, but never like this.
