Bethesda - 'Game of Thrones'.

Wouldn't work. In GoT the characters and stories are a bigger deal than the world they're in. It's the opposite in recent Bethesda games.
 
Battle for Middle Earth.

Not played that.

Anyone hoping for proper tactical controls during battles in CK2 would be disappointed by it. It's not like Total War. CK2's best aspects are the political "battles" with people trying to usurp your thrones and the emergent stories that develop between all the different characters in the game.
