Build your dynasty through trade and moneylending as you lead a merchant family through the medieval era in Silk & Silver , a Major Expansion for Crusader Kings III. Start as a humble trader, ingratiate yourself with the local authorities as you expand your business interests and maybe even seize power in a Republic, defeating your rivals as you turn your trading monopolies into political power.

Crusader Kings III: Silk & Silver includes:

• Merchant government: In an entirely new playstyle, lead a merchant family at the head of a trading company, rising from obscurity to greatness and using your wealth to advance the fortunes of your family.

• Republics: A new government type that focuses on merchant families competing for power and wealth in a range of historical republican models.

• Historical Italian Flavor: Take part in civic Carnivals to celebrate the greatness of your republic, and watch the historic struggle in northern Italy between the Guelphs and Ghibellines as political factions lead to open warfare.

• And more!
