I'd argue that Paradox games are really similar, and significantly more popular because of their linkage to the long-standing grand strategy community. Not that they are hugely popular either.

Weird. So much for short shrifts. Guess it goes to show the kind of people I online-hangout with to have thought Paradox was more popular.

| And yes, FM has a lot in common with Paradox games. I mentioned it in the thread in the Axe about what three games you would take into solitary, they were: Dwarf Fortress, Football Manager and Crusader Kings 2. They all work off the same principles, which happen to be the ones that I apparently hold most dear when it comes to game mechanics. |
Funny that you name CK2 in particular, as opposed to the other Paradox series, because it's also about manipulating relationships - I imagine managing all your vassals and agents and their wives and concubines and whatnot is a lot like managing your team. A lot more like managing your team than the more abstracted, impersonal mechanics of say Europa Universalis.
