Its very different from HOI, and once you get started also alot easier. Read up on dejure borders, how to get (weak/strong) claims and casus bellis, and you should be good to go. Check out the wiki, there is some good info there.. http://ckiiwiki.com/Crusader_Kings_II_Wiki

De jure territory is important to be able to expand. For example; if you own the duchy of Middlesex but not the county of london, you will get De Jure claims on london, and thus be able to conquer it. De Jure borders is a map mode you can turn on/off, you want to keep your vassals within their prober de jure borders otherwise they will just fight all the time.

My advice to you, start up the game as a duke in Ireland, or the King of Castille if you don't mind starting in a risky posistion. Then check out each screen in your goverment interface, hover your mouse over any icons there may be and read the text, there is a lot of good info to be found there.

Paradox games are always a bit hard to get into, but if you can play Hearts of Iron then CK2 should not be a problem for you.
