Crusader Kings 3: Silk & Silver

An expansion for the medieval grand strategy game that introduces a new form of government: merchant rule. At the head of a landless merchant family's trading company, you must make your way from obscurity to wealth and influence. Profitable deals, developing trade connections, and exploring new markets open up opportunities for the dynasty to prosper and expand its presence in different corners of the world.

Trade becomes not only a source of income, but also a tool in political struggles. Support from local authorities helps strengthen the company's position, while competition with other merchants calls for a well-thought-out strategy. Over time, accumulated wealth and established monopolies become a means of gaining political influence, allowing the merchant house to move beyond commerce and take a significant place in the struggle for power.
