I think that Victoria 2 and CK2 are definitely some of the hardest to learn pdx games, but HOI4 is close to the top.

    1000 hour EU4 player here. My pre-unpause setup takes like… 5 minutes, usually. EU4 has a rabbithole of micro you can dive into if trying to powergame, but a pretty reasonable level of success can be achieved without having to ultra-minmax everything.

    That’s not to say that EU4 is a simple game, by any means, but as the expansions have gone on, the game has power-creeped to a degree, so it’s harder to totally lose than it used to be.
