Main

Europa Universalis

It is a grand-strategy game with setting in the Late Middle Ages and Early Modern period. Its focus is nation administration.

With extension packs, some nations have their distinctive ways of playing, which makes it more realistic.

It is very complicated to play grand-strategy games. You need to spend hours, lose the game several times to get used to it. As a beginner, you'd better pick a European nation. Otherwise, you will probably be subdued by European colonisation.

Expansion packs are indispensable if you want to fully enjoy. The price of all DLC is more than 10-folds of the original game.

Victoria

It is based on the Late Modern period in 19th to 20th century. Its focus is society and economy.

Crusader Kings

It is based on Early Middle Ages and Hign Middle Ages. Its focus is dynasty administration.

Hearts of Iron

It is a grand-strategy game with setting in World War II. Its focus is modern warfare.

Beginners can simply pick the US and export to both warring sides and get familiar with the game's mechanism with ease.

Sid Meier's Civilization

This franchise is an important example of 4X (eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, and eXterminate) games.

You can choose a civilisation and develop it to compete with others. Each civilisation has its own leader with some unique features.

There are more than one way to victory, so you don't need to fight a war to win if you like.

What's more, there is a Civilopedia, with introductions about those civilisations. You can spend hours on it if you like.

The peak of this series is considered to be IV, V or VI.

Far Cry

It is an open-world FPS series. You can experience the cultures in different regions and enjoy killing fools.

The peak of this series is considered to be 2, 3 or 4.

Tomb Raider

It is an action game series. Different historical sites to explore. Solving puzzles is its merit.

Age of Empires

It is one of the most successful multicultural RTS franchise. Don't expect it to be very historically accurate.

The peak of this series is considered to be 2.

Mount & Blade

Experience the life in the medieval period or some other periods.

Some people guessed Warband factions in real life, but in Bannerlord, it's all made clear:

Total War

This is a RTT series. Each of its work focuses on an era. It is less and less realistic now.

The peak of this series is considered to be Shogun 2.

Ancestors Legacy

It has four nations, each of which has a campaign.

Turned out to be rock-scissor-paper between some types of unit.

0 A.D.

It is free and open-source.

It is an RTS about 13 ancient civilisations. More civilisations will be available in the future, said on the official website.

Although there is an “A.D.” in the name, the civilisations in the official version are “somewhere along the timeline of 500 B.C. to 1 B.C.”
