Crusader Kings II

Historical setting

A medieval grand strategy game where you guide a dynasty rather than a nation across generations, navigating marriages, succession crises, plots and assassinations. Its systems generate memorable, often darkly absurd emergent stories.

Europa Universalis IV

Historical setting

A deep grand strategy sandbox where you guide any of hundreds of nations from the late Middle Ages to the Napoleonic era through diplomacy, trade, colonization and war. Its complexity is daunting at first, but crafting your own alternate world history is endlessly absorbing.
