Update v3.1.0:
The world’s favorite medieval grand strategy role-playing experience was updated today with Great Works, a new upgrade to Crusader Kings II. This update lows you to relive the era of cathedrals by investing your royal power in building great feats of architecture and wonders that will increase the prestige of all who build them.

True wonders will take decades to build, not to mention further improvements and expansions, but your majesty must demonstrate the material power of the realm.
Build Great Works: Construct grand gardens, majestic cathedrals, celebrated universities, libraries and more, increasing the glory of your empire and bringing further bonuses to your rulers.
Marvel at Historical Wonders: Control the great wonders of the world - Pyramids, the Pharos, the Apostolic Palace, and others - to increase your prestige. All are represented on the map itself.
Upgrade and Improve Great Works: Your descendants will take up the reins to improve the wonders you’ve started. Make a cathedral an artistic masterpiece with gargoyles and stained glass. Make your special fortress an almost unconquerable center of your military power.

You will not be able to have any great works if you load up an older save in 3.1. Only games started with 3.1 or later will have that feature!
