7 – Crusader Kings IIÂ
One of the hardest and best Medieval grand strategy games out there. I don’t think there is a strategy game that will make you feel more of a real Medieval ruler of any nation from the Middle ages more than Crusader Kings II. Especially when you can build your own dynasty  and change the course of History. If Crusades interest you then check out our article on holy military orders!
6 – The Kings CrusadeÂ
The Kinks Crusade, for people that are just too much a fan of Richard the Lionheart and his Crusade against Saladin’s Army.

Every old school strategy gamer knows Rise of Nations, and has spent a lot of time playing this game.

4 – Company of Heroes IIÂ
Company of Heroes I & II are awesome games that depict the horrors of world war II. These games give you a detailed and awesome experience of World War II warfare from the beaches of Normandy to the cold winters of Stalingrad the feeling of sacrifice and real loss of human life. May another World War never happen!
3 – Stronghold CrusaderÂ
Is there any other Medieval game that is more enjoyable than Stronghold Crusader. There isn’t a single strategy game lover that hasn’t played Stronghold Crusader, the game is just that good. Can’t place it there m’lord!, “You are the….uhm…..seventh GREATEST lord…”, “Oh….half rations.”
2 – Age of Empires III
The game portrays the European colonization of the Americas, between approximately 1492 and 1876 CE. There are fourteen total civilizations to play within the game. Who started to learn history by playing Age of Empires III? We will never forget the classic that is Age of Empires III. The gameplay experience that is provided by this strategy game has not been reached till this day.
1 – Rome Total war I & IIÂ
Kind of hard to make up your mind about number 1, because there are just so many great games that make you feel like you are reliving those Ancient times. Rome Total War, We think there isn’t a gamer out there that could hate or say something bad about Rome Total War and its representation of history. The ability to use strategy on the battlefield while you are leading large armies, siege cities and be the leader of an Ancient Civilization it’s just too good to pass.
