I think Paradox studio is the real underdog, and everyone loving Civ games should check them out. I love the 4x concept and tried almost all major games in this category, but left after one or two playtroughs because there was always something pushing me away. Usually its the need for mocromanaging everything on huge scales in longer games. Im hooked on Crusader Kings 3 for a year now, and want to get into Europa Universalis and Victoria 3 afterwards

Yup no turning back now after supping on CK3 wine. I tried EU4 but graphics/text-rendering issues meant I just couldn't play it. I look forward to an EU5 with a CK3 quality make over. Sounds like we might have to wait a year or so Vic3 iron out all it's issues.

It's funny that you would call PDS the underdogs, because while Civ still has (some) of its former glory left and so is still a bestseller, the many PDS games are together probably at this point leading in terms of funding and popularity. And almost everyone else is far behind. To use a metaphor, in the «slow strategy video games» sector, Firaxis/TakeTwo are akin to the creators of Avatar for movies, while PDS/Paradox are Marvel/Disney. (note, high funding & popular ≠ good)
