Can you play Old Worlds just to relax?

I have played Civ 5 for hundreds of hours just for relaxation. Set difficulty to settler, generate a huge random map, choose 2 - 3 opponents to make the world livelier, and just go explore and build. I usually don't wage any wars, and if I play long enough to win, it's always a cultural victory. In Crusader Kings 2/3 I play for the weird stories, never wage wars if I can help it and don't really pay attention how the rest of the world is shaping up.

I'm kind of bored of Civ V and CK by now, so I'm looking for a new game in similar fashion. So can you play Old Worlds just to unwind, without (much) micro managing and pressure from the AI?
