ACOUP - Teaching Paradox, Crusader Kings III, Part I: Making It Personal

Returning to Bret’s Teaching Paradox superseries, this time I’m narrating his posts analyzing Paradox’s medieval grand strategy game, Crusader Kings III. To begin, Bret once again asks the question: what view of history does the game’s mechanics construct. And, fittingly for a game set in a time so dominated by personal rulership, he takes a look at how CKIII is a game about history-as-biography.
