The main new feature is the aforementioned royal courts: kings and emperors establish courts which play host to new events. What I think is interesting here is the way that the expansion attempts, and to a significant degree succeeds, to direct the player’s attention much more to the typical job of being king (or indeed, lesser nobles as well, but only kings and above have courts in Royal Court).
