For those of you that enjoy pre-1800 European History, I highly suggest picking up a copy of Europa Universalis 4 on Steam. Wonderful strategy game that ends up

  This may reveal my age/lack thereof, but Europa Universalis 3 is what originally sparked my interest in history and also programming. It's a game that allows you to explore 'what if' scenarios in a fairly historically accurate context. It's by no means a simulator, but it does a great job of making the era feel right. It got me into coding due to my curiosity with exactly those 'what if's. The vast majority of the game data is easily editable, and the dev console is great. Some of my first coding projects were just mods for EU3, which revealed to me that there's really nothing special that goes into making software if 13-year old me could do it. Highly recommended.

  Great suggestion! Of course, if you want to go back even further, you can pick up Crusader Kings 2 with the Charlemagne expansion, and start all the way from the year 769.
