Alternatively, share your favorite mods for CK2, preferably ones that don’t rely on DLCs since I have only been playing for a few months and haven’t bought any
In case of mods, full overhaul would be ideal, but that’s a lot of work, so here’s my order of importance:
map
races
religion
cultures
I also have vanilla Europa Universalis IV, but I haven’t tried it out yet
Another thing worth pointing out: I’m NOT looking for a 4X, I don’t like the military / conquer focus of the genre
What I like in CK2:
micromanaging marriages to (hopefully) get good stats and claims or land
I can lose a lot without a game over
personal feel of playing a dynasty instead of a country (but that’s okay, too)
keeping a realm stable and vassals loyal
“how have I become the king of X?”, sometimes caused by forgetting my own plans
“England, it’s the 11th century, you shouldn’t be creating a colonial empire yet!” - probably won’t apply to a fantasy world, but I think it’s still worth mentioning
staying alive is simple enough to try funny plans, like turning Byzantine Empire heretic
interesting achievements
working native Linux version
overall interpersonal relationship management
After seeing my friend play Victoria III and Europa Universalis V, I think
I’d enjoy a game with a more economic focus. I’ll probably buy EU5 if it gets a fantasy mod with world generator, but that’s probably gonna take a looong while.
I’ve played AoW 3 for about 8 hours and it looks like every other 4X to me, how different is AoW 4?
As for Warhammer Total War - I’m still not over losing in a tutorial in TW: Shogun, but I’m pretty sure I have 1 and 3 on Epic Games. From what I’ve seen it’s pretty much all about attacking nearby territory. My friend that was streaming it mostly played as Chaos and Skavens, so feel free to expand my view on the series.
I’ve heard about Wildermyth, it’s on my wishlist, but thanks for bringing it up.
I’ve tried M&B for a few hours and I got bored very quickly.

Other than cks mods
Age of wonders 4
Warhammer total war.
Wildermyth has the legacy side of things though smaller scope
On that note the mount and blade games with mods to charge the setting are more of an action direction.
