Thedas at War is a Dragon Age-themed overhaul for Crusader Kings 3. The devs walk us through the years-long development, and future updates.
Dragon Age: Thedas at War is the Crusader Kings 3 expansion of my dreams. If you’re a fellow Dragon Age fan, you need to play this, even if you’ve never even touched the game it's built on top of before.
Lovingly created by a team of volunteers, Thedas at War turns Crusader Kings 3 into a Dragon Age grand strategy game, letting you play across Ferelden and Orlais, and choose from a variety of different backgrounds and religions. There is a world of preset characters you can choose to play as representing all of the different factions across southern Thedas, or you can make your own and try to build up an original in-universe dynasty.
As any Dragon Age fan will tell you, the series lore is incredibly expansive. There are even two books that just focus on that, giving us details on the countless characters that roamed Thedas long before the games take place. Much of this lore was never supposed to be adapted into a game, but the team behind Thedas at War have done just that. The overhaul kicks off in the Glory Age, hundreds of years before the titular Dragon Age, dealing with characters that many fans probably didn’t know existed.
Now, fresh off the mod’s wildly successful launch, I spoke with some of the Thedas at War devs to dive into how this CK3 overhaul was made - and what we can expect from future updates.
