Europa Universalis III, a game I've owned for a few years, got little play until it got a bit of a facelift and improved mechanics in its most recent expansion "Divine Wind". It doesn't hurt that I just discovered an active fan community that have made all sorts of helpful "Let's Play" videos. EU3 makes Civilization look like a kid's game. It's a micro-managing control freak's wet dream.
Though it doesn't offer an in-game equivalent to Civ's replay feature which can let you view an ever-changing map chronicling your progress (or lack thereof) over the course of your game, it does allow world map snapshots so I assembled some from a recent game and made a little movie.
