With that in mind, I'm going to try doing a Crusader Kings 2: The Old Gods walkthrough that focuses less on the nuts and bolts and more on telling a story surrounding the characters.
For me these games are not so much about 'winning' as they are the stories you find as you play. One thing that I love about Dwarf Fortress that Crusader Kings 2 also does well is give you a complex world of many characters that interact with each other in surprising and interesting ways. But rather than copy it exactly, I wanted to create something that captured the story-telling possibilities of CK2. Crusader Kings 2 has already seen a walkthrough at this site, a most excellent thing that sadly I cannot find since the forum transfer.
I'm going to try something a little different here.
