But soft, what light through yonder window breaks? Why, it's poetry, of course - the kind that the deranged characters in Crusader Kings III come up with, anyway. The latest dev diary for Paradox's medieval grand strategy game explains how the poetic trait will work when it arrives, but it also informs us that everyone is getting a pope hat.
First, let's talk about rhyming, Middle Ages style. Unlike the Crusader Kings II version of the 'poetic' trait, Crusader Kings III's incarnation will involve procedurally generated verses, which can be used to impress, seduce, or even torture other characters. Crusader Kings III's poems will be built around five themes: romance, legacy, mourning, strife, and incompetence (that last one is for when the poet is particularly vexed with someone they know doing something particularly stupid).
Paradox says at present, the poetry system takes into account characters' biographies and then picks an appropriate theme, which it will then use to select intro and outro lines for a nice little couplet, as well as a title for the work.
