Manual Installation Steps

DO NOT manually download the master branch unless you know what you're doing as it is the WIP version that is constantly being updated!

  1. Go to https://github.com/herkles/Dharmachakra/releases and find the latest version you wish to download.
  2. Extract the .zip file to Documents\Paradox Interactive\Crusader Kings III\mod
  3. Launch CKIII and select Dharmachakra in the launcher.
  4. Enjoy and play!

NOTE: If you are re-installing a mod, delete the old version of the mod first before copy and pasting the new one! While it's not always necessary, it's a good habit to do to prevent any potential issues.
