Took a while to get the hang of it but it's easily one of the best strategy games I've played. I'll look into the Old Gods DLC, that looks like my kinda thing. Also I've just put a load of the faces DLC's in the game, only a small thing but it's amazing the difference it makes considering you will be looking at those faces all the time.
EU4 looks good too, but I prefer the medieval time frame, and also, I just think this one will give me enough content for now!
The events that play out can be quite entertaining in themselves. In one game, I had 6 successive characters (father-son inheritance in all but one case) be imprisoned and castrated by their liege. It's not easy trying to secure your dynasty when you can't have any additional children and all your relatives in other courts are plotting to kill you as well as all the other dukes, who think you are too powerful.
One tip: if you ever get the "adventurer coming to your land" or "bloke gathering army to press his claims on your land" popups, assassinate them as soon as possible, otherwise they will destroy you.
