Crusader Kings III always had poetry – some romantic paths would even adjust its quality depending on the skill of your stalker – but the game is about to end all in on it, adding it as a character trait and even creating a generator that will write the reflections of your ruler for you.
The next patch 1.3 of the game is adding some new features, like a more brutal and impacting winter (at least in certain regions), but this poetry thing really captivated my heart. If you get the trait of “poet” as a ruler, you can create your own literary masterpieces, choosing a theme (romance, legacy, strife, etc.) before obtaining information powered by a poetry machine:
After getting to know the theme and the subject (if any), we can feed them into customized localization functions that make a couplet random. At the moment, we have introduction and finalization functions for each theme, as well as generation of titles, which allows us to generate songs between two and four lines in length plus the title, although I hope to expand that in the future.
The results are very good! Here are some examples provided by Paradox:

Poetry will not be used only for idle activities. Sometimes it can be used in … darker circumstances.
The update should arrive soon.
