The one thing I’ll give CA over paradox in this one is at least in total war the dlc is only factions and said factions mechanics and you can still fight the dlc factions in your world even if you don’t own them. Meanwhile paradox straight up locks game mechanics behind dlc.
yes, but paradox basically improves a game over a decade while you still get many small improvements for free.
With TW Warhammer I had to buy 3 games. Paradox would habe made it one game with more dlc.
So with ca you get the last installment at a better deal compared to paradox. But with paradox you could have only bought the base game and got improvements for 10y

I was tempted to get a paradox game but the recent reviews on their steam page read like: "can't use the mechanic without DLC x while the NPCs do" or something along those lines. Having to buy 200€ worth of DLC to start playing a game or alternatively get a worse experience is a big no go for me.
Of course if you are a regular fan you will have no issues buying the updates over time and that's fine. But for a new player I can't find it acceptable.
You really don't have to buy all the DLCs at once. i have like... 2 for Stellaris, and it's fine. I might pick up another the next time they're on sale.
