Last thing about Paradox Games - those are rather time-consuming to learn. I know some people that have more than 500 hours in EUIV and are still pretty much noobs (I played EUIV for like 600 hours and still don't know some things about it, partially beacause new patches and DLCs come pretty often and sometimes change mechanics). They are not most complicated games out there (I played games where I had to read like 350 pages long manual to get into it) and for hardcore strategy players might be even a little casual (especially HOI IV) but if someone is not used to games like that it might be a little hard. And if you like sci-fi setting Stellaris from Paradox is also pretty enjoyable.

Thanks for elaborate description of those games, Daitekoku sounds interesting I will check it when I have time (for now  I didn't end Daibanchou, Mamatoto and want to do others ending of Rance X and  have other games to play as well). Which out of those non-alicesoft ones is your favourite? So I might check that one first. I will also have to check if those games works with Visual Novel Reader as I'm far from being fluent in Japanese (I'm learning it slowly but... well... slowly, playing those games in Japanese actually helps me a little in learning, I sometimes remember some kanjis etc.).

About We are the bandits! being similiar to Fire Emblem... I will have to check first what mechanics Fire Emblem have as I'm not really that familiar with classics.

And I don't really care about H-scenes, in Rance games for me it's like 65% story 30% gameplay and 5% for the rest. I kinda like older games where H-scenes were ofter really short - and in new ones I don't want to skip them so I read them but sometimes I would prefer to get back to the game faster.
