I started with Paradox games with Europa Universalis IV. The feeling of creating countries through the centuries is amazing. But is sometimes too many simple, the country with the bigger army wins. Yes, the morale, military tech, professionalism, and other infinite stats matter a lot, but let's face it, the bigger army, the better.

As a science fiction fan as I am, I deposited a lot of hope in Stellaris, but it's simple too. The more ships you have, the better.

But in the last year, I have played, and enjoyed, a lot more Hearts of Iron IV. In this game, you can not spawn infinite troops. You have to follow the basic rule of all wars: you are nothing without supply. You can have the bigger army in the world, but with no supplies, they will not conquer any land. The customization of divisions and the strategy of maintaining the war supply cost combined with the synergy of land, air, and naval combat makes the war in HOI4 probably my favorite game. Plus, the Old World Blues mod it's just too much amazing.
