This mod is in a VERY early stage of development.

Golden Dominion introduces an exciting new gameplay experience in Crusader Kings III, allowing you to become a landless patrician in a merchant republic! Unlike traditional rulers, your power and influence come not from land or armies, but from your status as a wealthy merchant.

Rise to prominence within the Republic and manage your family’s fortune.


1. Play as a Landless Patrician
For the first time, you can experience Crusader Kings III as a landless character. As a Patrician, your influence is built through wealth and prestige, rather than controlling land. You may not hold a county or duchy, but your merchant family wields power through gold, diplomacy, and strategic alliances within the Republic.

Unique Patrician Gameplay: While landless, you remain a crucial player within the Republic, using your wealth to grow influence and maintain your family’s status.

2. Merchant Family
You may not control land, but you control your family's wealth. Build your fortune through trade deals, favors, and clever investments. The better you manage your family’s resources, the greater your influence becomes in the Republic.

Family Fortune Management: Manage the wealth of your family, ensuring your heirs inherit not just gold, but the means to survive and thrive as patricians.

3. Elect the Doge
Though you do not hold land, you and your fellow Patricians have the power to elect the Doge, the ruler of the Republic. Your wealth and standing among the other families influence this process. Secure alliances, outmaneuver rivals, and work behind the scenes to ensure a favorable Doge sits on the throne, one who will reward your family for its loyalty—or perhaps become the Doge yourself.

Merchant Family Elections: The Doge is chosen by the powerful merchant families, and your ability to gain support will be the key to maintaining influence in the Republic.

4. Conflict with the Narentine Pirates
As a powerful merchant family in Venice, you will need to navigate the treacherous waters of the Adriatic Sea, where the infamous Narentine pirates wreak havoc on Venetian trade routes. In the earliest bookmark, Golden Dominion introduces a unique conflict between Venice and the Narentine pirates, a constant threat to your family’s wealth and the Republic's dominance. Will you support military action against them or enlist mercenaries to protect your convoys?


  • Trade Expansion
    More trade events, anti-piracy, mechanics, rivalries between different plutocracies.
  • More Events
    Right now there are not that many events and I would like to add more.
  • Political Schemes
    Schemes between merchant families to exert power.
  • Contracts for Adventurers and Merchant Families
    I'd like to add some special contracts available for adventurers in plutocratic realms.
  • More Domicile Buildings
    There's a limited amount of domicile buildings and I would like to add more.
  • Vassal Contracts
  • Laws for Plutocracies
  • Activities
  • Expanded Election & Campaigning


  • Can you update the mod?
    If there's a new update I'll be updating the mod as soon as I get the oppurtunity. Currently compatible with: 1.16.2
  • Is this mod compatible with X mod?
    If you put this mod at the bottom of the load order, it might work, but no features are integrated with other mods.
  • Can you make a compatch for X?
    Right now, I'm focusing on development rather than compatibility with other mods.
  • I have found a bug.
    Great, just report it in the comments. Make sure you don't have other mods loaded.

Special thanks to the CK3 Mod Co-op Discord for being very helpful.

This is a great mod. I hope you stay motivated to continue it.

Is there already an event for the nobility rebellion that made Novgorod into a Republic in this mod? If not there should be an event or a decision for it

Also consider changing the name for slavic Plutocratic realms from "Most Serene Republic" to something more appropriate like "Veche Republic"

Love that you expanded this mod to include Pisa and Genoa

CTD for me. Does this have any requirements other than Roads to Power?

Funny thing happened where I got elected for a title while I'm an entirely different feudal kingdom (I did a crusader kingdom splitoff,) which I gave to a merchant family to turn it back into a republic. I was the only heir of the previous Doge, which made me eligible as a "ruler heir" candidate for the election. The main fix would be to simply forbid any current non-republican rulers I assume.

With this, all the other land-holding families became feudal dukes of their titles.
So now there's "Jarl Antoni Ricardsson of en Bas Family Palace."

+ would it be possible to have a system where current Lord-Mayors are eligible to be given plutocratic family titles? Kind of odd that they're established in a republic, but never gain such titles so they're just stuck as counts. What I mean is: when a new plutocratic family has to come in, it should first consider already landed plutocratic rulers for noble families + estates.

Yes I am, after I revoked a baron's title my estate disappeared.

Are you experiencing that issue on a fresh save?
Donal77 4 Jul @ 6:32am 
Is there any way to get your estate back after it disappears?
Emil  [author] 4 Jul @ 12:40am 
Sure, I'll take a look at that. That makes sense.
