crusader kings is an awesome game from paradox. it has lots of unique and intersting game concepts. for example a nice fairly accurate stab at representing the feudal system. you can for example move up the feudal ladder, from a simple count to a duke and ont a king. you can acquire counties/kingdoms through inheritance via strategic marriage etc it has been said that an ideal medieval game would have combined the strat map of crusader kings with the battles of M2. it does have some flaws and bugs, and was probably rushed for its intial release, eg it is not uncommon to find a proliferation of islamic kingdsoms in odd places like iceland, and frustratingly it seems inevitabel after you have built up a nice kingdom that it will collapse into civil war regardless of what you do.
anyway.........
for those who like it, good new there is an expansion coming out, which i expect will bring the game up to date and remove the flaws.
