I dunno, it's hard to get a grasp of. I'm having a hard time getting the idea that I'm God-Emperor of whatever kingdom out of my head. Also in addition to not knowing what I'm doing I feel like a lot of what I do is secretarial, file paperwork with France, wait for favorable response, wait for acceptance, appoint courtier, issue order for plot, wait for favorable response, offer marriage, wait for response.
Granted I've only played for a few hours so maybe once I get a better feel for the game I'll enjoy it more. It's weird though, it's like all of medieval Europe and the Middle East is this really loose Game of Thronesy social set-up, in a way that never really existed outside of maaaayybbbbeeee France. Also my temptation to revoke titles and imprison and execute nobles every-time they demand lower crown authority just seems to be causing more civil wars. Must I kill everyone? Because I will if I have to.
