We briefly discussed CK2 before, I figured it would be fun to have a full discussion here. I should be getting back into playing it, as Steam Support has finally gotten back to me after 3 1/2 months.
My plan is to play as Duke Isaac of the Khazars at the 1066 start date, but use console commands to convert from Judaism to Nestorianism and RP from there.

Why would you want play as a heretic?

I have played as the Byzantines, the Holy Roman Empire and several others.

Why would you want play as a heretic? First of all, most of the so called Nestorian Churches were in communion with, but unable to be in contact with, the Catholic Church. Most of them had abandoned the actually heresy of Nestorianism. For example, the Saint Thomas Christians. It's also more RP to be a Nestorian from where I am located. There were plenty of Nestorian missionaries out on the Steppe, almost no Latin Rite Roman Catholics. I could also be Orthodox or Coptic, as they are also nearby, but I just figured Nestorianism would be more interesting. Also, within game mechanics, Nestorianism is it's own church.

I haven't actually played this game, but it looks like something I might get into. I generally prefer real-time strategy.

What games do you play?

Mostly the Age of Empires series. There's a really good mod for Age of Empires II called Age of Chivalry Hegemony. Then there's a game called 0 A.D. which is very much like an improved version of the original Age of Empires. For a non-strategy-based game, I'm looking into a naval combat game called World of Warships (but I'm waiting to see if they add the Austro-Hungarian Navy). Actually, there are a lot of games that I've looked at, but just haven't gotten around to playing yet. Any recommendations (besides CK2)?

Ah, Age of Empires, an old favorite of mine. If I can get AoE2 to run with WINE/PlayonLinux on my PC, I will definitely get that mod, it looks really nice. 0 AD is pretty good, lags like death though. In my opinion, WoW won't be adding Austria-Hungary any time in the near future, as it seems to be mainly focused on WW2.

As for suggestions for good games, Medieval Total War 2 is fairly good, albeit having balance issues and being turn based. Any grand strategy game by Paradox Interactive is good. Mount and Blade: Warband is lot's of fun, but the graphics aren't the best.

0 AD is pretty good, lags like death though. That's true . I like the effort they put into the design of the game, and the music is good- especially the opening of the game.
Have you played the Napoleonic Era mod for AoE III?

No, I haven't. I have not played AoE in at least a year.

Also, I don't have Asian Dynasties or Warchiefs.

Doesn't the Napoleonic mod require Asian Dynasties?

Yep. That's why I haven't played it yet.
