You can divorce and assassinate your wife and take lovers if you wish too, but RNG god is hard to please.

It seems to me that you could make even more in depth political interaction than crusader kings, yet it seems that all grand strategy games prefer to concern themselves with map painting. it's a bit sad desu.
Fuck, I'd actually prefer to play something like an individual or a family, with the goal being to build prestige in the empire with martial aspects just being part of that and mainly focusing on politics. is there anything like that?

Most have been mentioned here already, but as far as total war games go. Medieval 2 with Stainless Steel 6.4 installed is one of the best mods I've ever played.

Another I've not seen noticed is Mount and Blade, if only for the exceptional modding community who released gems like Brytenwalda and 1257ad.

I'd recommend those two games with those mods and CK2. Everything else listed I found 'somewhat' repetitive and droll after a time.

So EUIV is shit? It was the recommended game to start out with in some /gsg/ guide I read. Any other suggestions? I'll hyped for playuing some games once my computer arrives.

>>575433
Sometimes /gsg/ doesn't know what it's talking about. To truly start off, I suggest CK2 or EU3 (better than EU4) depending on what time period you're more interested in. After that move on to EU: Rome or Victoria 2. If you're a true autist, you can graduate to the Hearts of Iron series.

Eu4 is probably a good start if you've never really played a grand strategy before. What's really bad about it is it tries to encapsulate one of the most tumultuous eras in european and world history (1444-1821) and incorporate gameplay elements that can apply to the entire time period, but everything seems fairly disjointed, shallow or out of place. The game's "arcadey", which makes it fun for the people that like to hyper-blob or do stupid shit like that, but from a /his/ autist's point of view it kinda sucks.

Play it for a couple weeks, learn the ins-and-outs, decide on what you like and then move on to a better grand strategy game that goes more in depth or simply does better the elements that you like in Eu4.

It really is better with all the DLC but if you're really just using it as a stepping stone to a better game then i would recommend you just pirate it.

Most the content, such as armies, cities, clothing, and culture is inspired and accurate to the real world.

The dates vary between my games, but things pick up big time when either a huge tribal empire forms (like mine) or a religious empire forms and starts bringing the fury of God(s) upon their neighbors.
This campaign kicked off in the 11th century for me because along with my empire in the East, the Seljuks held a powerful empire because some of the most populated and developed regions were in the Middle East.
You cant see it in my screencap, but the Byzantine Empire somehow inherited the Kingdom of France so they went ham on their Catholic neighbors. I was a fellow Orthobro so we smashed all heathens.

This, and make sure their culture either matches your's or is related. It helps avoid big problems upon your death and your heir's ascension

They eventually stopped the human wave tactic and turned to sending arrows into my phalanx

I love this game, but I'm clearly shit since I have to abuse the money cheat to get anything done and the seduction focus to make it less slow.

What do you guys do to make CK2 fun?

Isn't it quite unhistorical?

I would disagree. I think that award goes to either Medieval 2 or Shogun 2.

However Attilla is certainly one of the best TW games.

Just stop.
