Crusader Kings II takes the grand strategy design used in several Paradox Interactive products and applies a layer of role-playing, where you control specific characters within Europe and attempt to survive the harsh conditions and testy vassals. Rather than countries uniting on a national level, nobles tried to expand their personal dynasty as dukes fought dukes, kings fought kings, and counts fought over chocolate breakfast cereal. This period was not known for great technological advances (the Internet, for example, was not invented until Amerigo Vespucci found TCP/IP buried deep within the jungles of Brazil), but it was a time of constant small-scale conflict between the family dynasties of Europe.
The Middle Ages was a time of transition between the glorious Roman Empire and Disco Fever. What say you?
