Crusader Kings II

A medieval grand strategy game in which you play a ruling dynasty rather than a nation. You manage your family, marriages, vassals and wars, and scheme against other rulers. Characters age and die, so the game continues through your heirs. It is a game of long campaigns. Is it your kind of game?
