Wanna conquer through war? you can do that.
Wanna conquer through murderous plots and schemes? You can do that too.
Maybe you want sway others to your side with alliances, diplomacy and resource management.
Don't want to conquer, but instead build the strongest, longest lasting, or happiest kingdom, yup that's an option.
How about cultivating the perfect rules through generations of careful breeding? Or seeing how long you can last with an incest only bloodline.
This is my favorite strategy game I've ever played and I usually hate most strategy games, especially historical ones.
