I don't know if anyone here plays CK2. If you don't, check it out. It's a fun game and, in my opinion, far better designed than Paradox's Europa Universalis IV. However, there is ALSO a mod for Game of Thrones where the map is replaced with Westeros and Essos, and you can pretty much play....anything you like. You can start your game before the invasion of Westeros by Aegon the Conqueror, or you can play any of the events leading up to and including those in the books.
At the moment, I'm playing as Danaerys and am burning slavers with my dragons, while conquering the area around Mereen. My goal is twofold:
1. Conquer enough cities and areas to set up my own new nobility, replacing the old slavers. Then start intermarrying them with Westerosi lords and building alliances there.
2. Take enough ports to raise a fleet and sail to Westeros with my dragons, and finally freaking take the Iron Throne back. Maybe marry Jon Snow, if I can convince him to come down off the Wall.
Another tempting playthru is to play as Jon Snow himself, and become the Warden of the North under Stannis (who will probably lose anyway), and later either King in the North or possibly even the Iron Throne itself.
If you do run the mod, you have to run in compatibility mode under 2.2.1 for CK2, but it's definitely worth taking a look at if you're a fan of these kinds of games, and especially if you're a Game of Thrones/Song of Ice and Fire fan.
