Master Huang was born in the foothills of Shanzhou, in the far northwest of what is today China's Qinghai Province. In Crusader Kings 3, this represents the far eastern edge of the map, and one of the only places where you can find the Han Chinese culture. Unlike every character I had ever played in my thousands of hours of Crusader Kings previously, he was not born into wealth nor land. His legend would be all the more exciting because of that.
Roads to Power, which is out today, is one of the most ambitious expansions Paradox has ever conceived, allowing you to play as a landless adventurer who can travel the world freely, completing quests for the local magnates who would normally be your friends, vassals, and rivals. I was excited about this prospect from the beginning, since I've joked that everyone playable in Crusader Kings up til now kind of sucks. Even the lowliest baron is part of the top one percent of the one percent in medieval society. And the lowest previous playable rank, a count, is even more absurdly wealthy.
