I’ve heard of Crusader Kings, and a friend of mine is a big fan, but I’ve never gotten too into it myself.
In regards to school, I’m taking Linear Algebra at the moment, trying to get it out of the way in the 6 week summer session.
In regards to the world however, I have in fact been developing the overall idea somewhat steadily for around three years now. I would say I’m somewhat invested in it, and this project is an attempt to explore something set in the past in comparison to what I’ve mainly been developing.
