Any strategy games with a more roleplay element?

Hello!

Not necessarily character roleplaying like CK3, but more....history roleplaying, if that makes sense? I've got about 4500 hours in EU4, and have drained most what I want out of it. Like the idea of developing a nation through its infancy, with rising and falling, type thing. I'm not much of a minmaxer, much more a fan of making a narrative and imagining the pretend history book about the nation lol

also prefer realism (civ's random maps have always pained me lol. played a few hundred hours of Civ 5 exclusively on TSL maps lol)
