I guess what I was trying to say is that ancient/medieval history isn't exactly taught on the streets. At least it wasn't where I grew up. Considering most other 4x games are based on pure imaginings, I'm sure they're easier to get into. I mean, Dom 3 can be enjoyed by anyone, but I like it because I find the thematic stuff interesting.

For example, I'm a big buff of the Byzantine Empire. Buff as in I have read giant books about them. Ergo, my favorite nation is Pythium. Because I can BE the (weirdly snake loving) Byzantine Empire and go against the tide of history and actually win.

YMMV
