The way we see this lifestyle is that for some characters, it might be something to go for right away to use some of its bonuses. For many others, however, it would rather be a natural step after finishing a tree in another lifestyle and having had time to travel around to build up their Traveler trait.
As we start looking through each perk, I will show variations of each perk, if any, and talk a bit about each. That said, it’s only natural to start with the first tree we made for the new lifestyle.
This perk was supposed to give you a simple way to make traveling safer. If you want to travel around a fair bit, which is the point of this tree, we want it to be less costly and dangerous. We also included a supply boon because it fits the name of the perk.
This is the first perk dipping into the fame synergy we wanted for the tree. By letting you travel around more safely (from the first perk) and now giving you a fame gain, you can start racking up fame while participating in activities or traveling to distant lands.
This is inspired by the two educational perks in the game: the Pedagogy perk in the Scholar (Learning) tree and the Groomed To Rule perk in the Family Hierarch (Diplomacy) tree. I wanted a way to enable the player to prepare their heir for the tree if they wanted to dip into it with their next character and give them a solid way to pass on the Traveler trait from one character to another.
The first capstone perk of the tree enables both the fame and the stress loss synergy. It gives you fame from hikes and random travel events (particularly danger-related ones), and the activity is intended to be a very effective way of removing Stress (similar to feasts).
The first perk in this tree has two different variations, one playing into the friendly ruler fantasy and the other into the fame theme. In both cases, we wanted to inspire the character to move around often.
For the Wayfarer tree specifically, we made the perk of both lines leading up to the trait a bit of a capstone perk. In this case, the Local Hero one is intended to be a great boon for those grabbing all that fame, giving them a decent Diplomacy boost. It also gives you access to two new travel options, one of which provides you with another way to play into fame and stress loss:
This is just a simple perk that increases the opinion of everyone traveling with you at any given time and improves the Caravan Master aptitude of anyone currently serving that role for you.
This is the capstone perk for stress loss. You can increase your stress while traveling and open up a new activity option: expanding the time spent on a hike. This should give you more options to lose stress or gain fame.
Finally, for Wayfarer, the trait tries to tie together the two synergies that we have played into throughout the tree. It gives you higher stress loss the more fame you have, as well as giving you the Prowess fame bonus. It does mean, at the end of the day, that how many boons you get from these last perks matter how much fame you have managed to scrounge together, but we felt that was fine and played into one of our philosophies from earlier; you have to (most likely) be active to get fame, which in turn will give you a good boon at the end here.
When we originally made the perk for landed gameplay, being able to handle your regent at home would help someone who would regularly travel abroad to see things. If the idea was that you should be able to travel to distant places, we didn’t want you to get punished too hard immediately.
We wanted to give the Voyager an easy, cheap option to provide general boosts to their travels, but taking a travel option spot. This means you can travel far with fewer dangers, presumably, but you are giving up other opportunities. Due to the name, we attached a bonus to hiring regular mercenaries.
Looking into opportunities to go to distant locations, we figured a boon to diplomatic range would be an exciting option. One thing to note is that it is not an easily obtainable modifier in many places in the game, giving another reason for dipping into the tree. Another thing to note is that the tree unlocks diplomatic range matters for the Monument Expedition activity, so increasing it slightly means you will have access to more locations for that activity if you so wish.
We wanted to empower the player when they finally reach their destination in a journey, to play into the core idea of the tree. Initially, we simply gave the player a prestige and stress bonus every time they reached their destination in a journey.
The mid-way capstone perk of the tree, where you unlock the Monument Expedition. The activity was strong enough that we did not need to attach many other effects to this one. The first perk that plays into the language theme, making it slightly easier to learn new languages.
As part of this tree, we wanted to include at least one perk where you could effectively “bring home development,” but we wanted to ensure it couldn’t be stacked infinitely. In that sense, we figured it might be fun if you, as a, for example, slightly backward Scandinavian, traveled to Constantinople to see the sights and were inspired to improve your homeland.
We imagined this perk as someone who has often been traveling to other cities and knows the etiquette and manners expected of you no matter where you are. Someone who can equally serve up an impressive feast for strangers on one side and attend one in an exotic court on the other.
This is the other perk I mentioned in the ‘Finally There’ perk. It increases almost all rewards you gain from Points of Interest by 30% (with a few exceptions, like events triggering or gaining traits). This is the absolute capstone perk of the tree, and it enables a playstyle mostly traveling around and seeing Points of Interest with Monument Expeditions and Pilgrimages while still racking up lifestyle experience points, a lot of prestige, and reducing stress.
Unlike its Wayfarer equivalent, we wanted this trait to play less into the synergies of the tree but more be a composite of the tree. It bumps up the diplomatic range gain even further and increases your travel speed, giving you access to even more points of interest previously out of range.
The first one is a simple boon as you travel through holdings of your realm, improving any Stationed Men-at-Arms there by about 5-10% for 15 years. In other words, consider preparing before going to war, making sure to do the rounds and inspire your men so they get that fighting boon.
This is a mouthful but less impactful than it first seems. The parochial and minor landholder vassal bonuses should be negligible, and the importance lies in the marriage acceptance boon. It means that within your realm, you have a significantly higher chance of being able to grab any marriage you may wish, both for yourself and your extended family. Want to ally with a pesky vassal who keeps being an issue to your rule? This could push up the acceptance level enough to make it happen.
As part of our work on this lifestyle tree, we wanted to give the player more active tools for gaining control and development, of which this perk is a key part. By hosting feasts, hunts, inspections, or other activities, you can now focus on where you want to improve something.
We often noticed that many players ensured that they only traveled relatively safely, so the Seasoned Trait Track had little time to shine. As a ruler who was actively trying to make sure their realm was safe and well taken care of, it felt natural that you would be able to increase this trait track even if you didn’t directly experience the danger, simply because you were so directly working against it.
The first capstone perk of the tree opens up the inspection activity. This should open up the fantasy of traveling around your realm more appropriately, as we will see later when discussing the activity. We also attached some tax bonuses,
This unlocks a new decision where you can stop a journey to manage the domain for a while. Effectively, you will trade some prestige and travel time to gain legitimacy and either remove corruption in that domain or gain a temporary modifier that will increase levy size, holding taxes, or development. This plays into the same logic as with ‘No Stone Unturned,’ where you can more directly manage one holding and take care of any issue it might have.
This unlocks a new decision: You can write a book about your travels somewhere. This is a leftover from when the tree was focused more on surveying the land rather than inspecting it when we focused more on mapping out your realm, etc. We like how the decision turned out, so we kept it as is, even if things around it have changed slightly.
This is the proper capstone perk of this tree, binding together ‘No Stone Unturned,’ ‘Inspection,’ and ‘Arbitration’ in one, either giving you them for free or improving them. This should be a noticeable boon for those who want to simply do realm gardening and ensure their little realm runs smoothly.
With a similar logic to the Voyager trait, this is supposed to, at a glance, tell a player what kind of fantasy this tree is supposed to provide to you as a player. It’s about realm management and gardening and ensuring all the little bits and bobs work as they should.
So, the very first perk of this tree is critical to setting up the rest of the tree. We unlock a new decision for you where you choose a designate a type of terrain that you would like to focus on:
As we looked at changing the “Knowing Your Land” perk, we still wanted to try and keep some of the same fantasy. But rather than knowing your land or its people, you know the terrain you specialize in and how you keep yourself alive as you travel through it. As a significant boon to the Gather Provisions decision, it is an even more helpful tool in getting extra provisions, particularly if you spend most of your time in your Designated Terrain.
We knew we wanted to put a battle bonus to this one. After all, as we started playing around with the idea of specializing in a terrain, one of our first ideas was to be a renowned bandit group holed up in a mountain pass. We want you to feel like when you are fighting in your terrain, you are truly in your element.
Replacing the Inspection trait wasn’t easy, as it was vital to the original tree. What we looked at was to continue the logic from the ‘Knowing the Land’ perk, where provisions are less of a problem as you travel through your Designated Terrain. Opening up the Quartermaster and Head Porter positions irrelevant to your buildings means you will always have effective ways of handling provisions.
After making Earth’s Bounty, we felt we had a tiny sub-theme of Officers in the tree, so we thought we could play further into that with this trait. The Second officer is the most crucial position you can have as a landless character, and this is a way to ensure they are doing their utmost for you.
This is the capstone perk of this lifestyle, unlocking a decision to hyper-focus on a specific terrain from the ones in your Designated Terrain. For example, if you chose Highlands the first time, you can now select between Mountains, Hills, or Desert Mountains as your terrain to master.
You can set out with your guards and up to 1 special companion to leave life at court for a short bit. If you bring a companion, the events will change slightly based on that, and you will have opportunities to build a bond with them. Or torment them if they aren’t built for hiking.
The “systemic” events of the activity—the start, mid-activity, and end events—don’t have options, but any randomized events in between those will. You will meet people, see sights, or experience nature's good and bad sides.
When you arrive at the activity's location, you can choose one skill to focus your efforts on as you explore the local sights. The alternatives will be based on the building and its type, and then throughout the activity, you will have opportunities to increase or decrease the chance of getting skill boons.
Most events related to the activity will either increase your chance of getting extra skill boons or give you options for good court position holders.
Finally, at the end of your journey, you will gain a slight skill improvement, with the possibility of a second one based on how things turned out.
As you arrive, you will have three options to choose from (the first one is only available in border counties). They are:
Here, you get to choose even further. In this case, we decided on Taxes/County Control (which is invisible due to already being at a 100)/Development as our first option, and here, we get to choose between Taxes and Development to hyper-focus on. This lets us decide which will have the strongest effect in the case of a successful Inspection.
And if things work out, you will get the rewards you sought.
Our second activity, the Monument Expedition, involves traveling to a distant city to see its sights. This allows you to visit specific places with Points of Interest, which you’d previously have to drop by as you pilgrimage elsewhere. 
The final activity, the Hike, is one where you can temporarily leave behind the stress of court life and seek the calm of nature. Shy characters, you poor souls who would desperately try to lose stress through feasts, I see you.
