Advanced Torture
Turn the dungeon into an instrument of fear, punishment and power.
In Crusader Kings III, prisoners are more than names behind bars. They are traitors, rivals, rebels, oathbreakers, heretics and enemies of your house.
Advanced Torture expands the prisoner system with a darker and more immersive torture interaction, allowing you to choose specific methods instead of relying on a single generic option. From public humiliation to brutal punishment, from prolonged torment to cultural methods, every choice gives the dungeon more weight in your ruler’s story.
Not every ruler governs with mercy. Some rule with chains.
- New prisoner interaction — access Advanced Torture directly from your prisoners.
- Light Tortures — humiliation, minor punishments and controlled violence.
- Medium Tortures — harsher methods designed to break body and will.
- Severe Tortures — brutal punishments with serious consequences.
- Sadistic Tortures — extreme methods reserved for truly sadistic characters.
- Prolonged Tortures — torment that unfolds over several days.
- Cultural Tortures — special methods inspired by different cultural traditions.
- Narrative events — each method includes immersive descriptions and scenes.
- Different outcomes — torture can lead to wounds, trauma, scars, fear and other consequences.
- Torturer progression — rulers who repeatedly use advanced torture may eventually gain the vanilla Torturer trait.
- Risk management — experienced torturers reduce the chance of accidental deaths during the most dangerous methods.
- Opinion and cooldown system — torture has political consequences and cannot be abused without limits.
A cautious ruler can use lighter punishments to humiliate enemies and weaken their resolve.
A cruel lord can choose harsher methods to leave scars on both body and reputation.
A sadistic character can turn the dungeon into a place of true terror.
An experienced torturer can learn how to keep victims alive long enough for the punishment to serve its purpose.
And cultures across the world can bring their own methods, giving each punishment a distinct identity.
This is the main version of Advanced Torture and is designed as a general gameplay mod for Crusader Kings III.
It should be compatible with most mods that do not heavily replace the same prisoner interactions, torture events or related systems.
For total conversions or specific settings, use separate compatibility patches when available.
