"Characters will come and go": Total War: Medieval 3 won't have skill trees because Creative Assembly want you to think in terms of dynasties

Creative Assembly has revealed that Total War: Medieval 3 will not feature skill trees, opting instead for a focus on emergent character traits and dynasties. This design choice aims to reduce repetition and busywork, encouraging players to think about the long-term progression of their ruling families rather than individual characters. The studio also confirmed an upcoming livestream focusing on playable factions.
