Indeed, as ProPain said, Paradox has been quite lame lately. Not that they were totally brilliant in their better days... They mostly utilize their Russian branch for programming (1C company) which made a few reasonable titles but a host of very mediocre games.

I've also played a lot of Rome TW and liked it a lot. It is complex and very well balanced. Cannot say the same about Medieval TW. Have it, tried it and did not like it at all for some reason, mosly I guess poor strategic map design and too predictable battles. However, Napoleon TW was a very solid game IMO, very enjoyable. I played through the main campaign as France, Austria, England, and Russia and it was completely different experience in each case which was an unexpected pleasantry.
