Europa Universalis 4. It took me a couple of attempts to get the hang of all of the intricacies involved, but once I did, I ended up having a blast. Prior experience with Victoria 2 and Crusader Kings 2 definitely helped.

If you can handle Vicky 2 you’ve already defeated paradox at their most paradox lol.

Funny enough, I found CK2 harder than Vicky 2. A modern nation-state is a lot easier to get my head around than feudal politics.

easier than feudal

Vicky 3 was what finally got me into Paradox games, after I had just bounced off of Sellaris and HoI4. I'm revisiting HoI4 now to see if I can get over the initial learning curve.

Imo HOI4 is weird because stuff like "optimal" unit composition is extremely important and there's basically no way to know what's best unless you look up a guide online.
