Crusader Kings 3

Crusader Kings 3 is Paradox's medieval dynasty grand strategy game, released in September 2020. You don't play a nation but a bloodline, one character at a time, with traits, ambitions, court intrigue, heirs and political marriages, on a map stretching from Iceland to India between 867 and 1453. Rich narrative events, complex succession, stress and madness make it the most roleplay-driven and most accessible Paradox title, backed by a very active modding scene (Elder Kings, Game of Thrones, After the End).
