Crusader kings 2 is significantly different from other grand strategies from Paradox interactive. The main difference of this game is the secondary role of the state, while the main goal of the game is to lead the family from the beginning to the end of the game. Lands can be gained and lost, but you have one family, and there are many ways to die in the game. You may be killed by an enemy in a fair fight, or you may become a victim of a conspiracy by your younger brother, whose only life separated him from the throne. In cases of extreme luck, you can die from a random event in rather absurd situations, for example, falling from a balcony.
Unfortunately this game cannot be played in the Far East or America, but you still have all of Europe, northern Africa and the Middle East at your disposal.
