I would recommend looking into the Total War series, but not all of them. Personally, I recommend getting Medieval 2 Total War and Shogun 2 Total War with all DLC. You can do that for not too much on Steam. The original Rome is a good game too but has some archaic design choices.

I am also an avid mod user so I will say there are some exceptional mods too. For Medieval 2, I highly recommend Third Age: Total War if you like Lord of the Rings. TA:TW is frankly the best Lord of the Rings game ever mode probably, definitely the best strategy one. Then I would recommend looking into Skyrim because there are also some great mods there. Nexus Mods is an amazing site for Skyrim mods and you can find some really outstanding stuff. Not to mention Enderal: Shards of Order is nearing release, a total conversion by SureAI who have mode some excellent total conversions for previous games Oblivion and Morrowind.
