Hands down, one of the best strategy games this year. If you're familiar with Paradox games, it still has the same old issues with their UI not being the most friendly to new players. However, if you wade through the very small issue of figuring out how to do things (yes, there are tutorials). The politics this game manages to produce at random and truely... well... human! The AI players in this game, including your family members and members of your court, manage to do things and react to things the way a real player would.
I'm still having issues getting my kingdom from falling apart after I die of old age, my son (that I get to continue as) gets assassinated, and then my half-brother decides to try and usurp my throne. The scripting is simply genius.
Overall, if you're a fan of strategy, empire building games, you'll love this one. Worth every penny. Just remember to put the time in and really try to learn the game and it will pay off in the end. Trust me.
