Also have you tried the Song of Ice and Fire mod?
It's really fun, honestly-- it's definitely sort of complicated to start out, mainly because there's a lot of different mechanics and there isn't that much material that's really good at explaining everything. You kind of just have to throw yourself in and figure out how things work-- I know that I spent a lot of time making abortive half-starts on the game before I was confident enough to really get started, and even then there's still a lot of stuff I'm not particularly good at-- like figuring out how to get claims on land other than through manufacturing claims. At the same time though I really appreciate that it's probably one of the few games where I can build an empire and watch as my imbecile dwarf son inherits the throne and it all falls apart. I dunno, it's one of those games I have a hard time really explaining.
I kinda tried the ASoIaF mod? It wasn't really my cup of tea even though I liked the books, the mod's kind of built around a small cadre of characters being superhuman legends pretty much. Nearly all of the book characters have utterly obscene skills, which both does and doesn't make sense.
