Enjoyed CK2, EUIV, didn&rsquo;t really get into Hearts of Iron IV but honestly appreciated a model of WWII as a multidimensional spreadsheet of industrial production and political consolidation</p></blockquote><p>I picked up most of the Stellaris DLC from a Humble Bundle a few months back, then bought the rest on another sale.
