Crafted Realm Landmarks

Crafted Realm Landmarks adds a landmark-building system to Crusader Kings III, letting landed rulers commission powerful, thematic special buildings in counties that would otherwise never gain a unique wonder.

Instead of every memorable province being locked to historical locations, this mod lets you shape your own realm over time through wealth, prestige, terrain, and ruler skill.

Every landmark is generated with one of three quality tiers:

• Normal
• Rare
• Legendary

Quality is influenced by:

• Relevant ruler lifestyle skill
• The Architect trait
• Investment during construction events

A ruler with high Learning is more likely to construct legendary universities, while rulers with high Martial skill create superior military strongholds.
