Digging

Learn how to find and dig up valuable treasures in Crusader Kings III. Discover different types of loot, from gold to art, and how to handle unexpected enemies.

Hey there! As you're exploring the world in Crusader Kings III, you'll notice plenty of holes scattered around. These aren't just for show – they're often hiding some really valuable loot! Pretty much any of your citizens can get in on the digging action, though your farmers are usually the speediest diggers.

To get started, just target one of these holes and use the 'charge' command. This will send your citizens over to start digging. You'll see a health bar above the hole showing their progress. Once they're done, whatever treasure is hidden below will pop out, ready for you to collect.

Keep an eye out, because some holes get bigger the more your citizens dig, and sometimes enemies will pop out! This usually means there's something extra special down there. Don't let those baddies scare you off – just deal with them and keep digging. The good news is that these holes often reappear in the same spots later, so you can always go back for more treasure!

What kind of goodies can you expect? Well, you might find gold bars of various sizes (1kg, 3kg, 5kg, and even some mystery weights) worth anywhere from 100,000 to 1,000,000 Bol. There are also precious treasures worth a hefty 3,000,000 Bol each, or even more valuable gold treasures going for 5,000,000 Bol a pop. Plus, you can find art pieces and special treasures that can be equipped on your citizens to give them a nice boost in their abilities.
