I thought it was fun, although I only played through the single player once and haven't touched it since.

Yes. It's a great game in general and just about the only one in it's genre.

Keep in mind that it's somewhat hard to get the hang of it.

Uhm, there's a sale on today.

There's a 75% sale on it like once every two months, just get the base game, decide if you like it and if you do buy the DLC next sale, it's what I did.
I think I've got all the DLC except the last one now and I've bought all of them in a separate sale.

Conquering the initial kingdom you're in is usually pretty straightforward. You're either a duke among dukes and can fairly easily take things county by county until you own half the kingdom, declare yourself king and vassalize the rest. Or you're the vassal of an existing kingdom and plot your way to the throne.

If you're a king among kings, trying to conquer the others county by county is going to take centuries because you have to fight a nationwide war each time and then deal with the 10 year truce, so you're forced to rely on personal claims, because even taking things duchy by duchy is going to take 50 years even if you can find the claimants, to form the empire you also need 80% of the territory which is basically the same as being king of each individual part. If you're in an existing empire it's similarly easy though.

Democracy 3 is on sale on Steam, it looks interesting.

Anyone have it?

The new Humble Bundle is awesome... Unfortunately I already have most of the games.

I just started playing it again after someone came up with a fun idea: 1066 Karling revival.

AoE Legacy bundle is part of the current Humble Bundle, that one should still be valid tomorrow and you'll get a bunch of other games with it too.

It's on my 'I really should play this some time' list, I might even get to it eventually.
