Maybe IS just saw your imgur link and decided to stop fucking around and go on a crusade?
(Also, what is that game? It looks like Risk but betterer. And why do you always reappear on here posting about interesting looking time sinks when I have deadlines/exams/stuff/etc.? Cunt.)
It's Crusader Kings II and it's pretty great. It's like hyper-complex Risk. Crossed with Football Manager. Only you manage your mediaeval dynasty instead of footballs. I'd say it's The Sims meets Risk meets Football Manager meets Game of Thrones.
