Age of Wonders 4 has been entertaining me alongside TWW3 recently. It’s a 4X turn based strategy game with dark fantasy elements from Triumph Studios and published by Paradox.
It has some pretty good customization elements and I’ve been enjoying playing the different types of empire combos. There’s also an Lovecraftian eldritch horror DLC coming out this month.

@Jaderick Yeah, Age of Wonders 4 seems to be the closest alternative, any opinion on Spellforce: Conquest of Eo, Disciples 2, or Solium Infernum?

I absolutely love disciples 2 and would highly recommend it. The unit progression trees give it a lot of replayability. Even though the third instalment gets worse reviews it’s also pretty good and has some nice graphics and a more dynamic battlefield. Maybe consider its competition as well (heroes of might and magic and eador). There is a far east themed 4x game called oriental empires that also has interesting army mechanics. Humankind and millennia sound like titles that should at least be mentioned even if you already pointed out that you don’t like paradox.

Solium Infernum as a standalone game is quite fun. I haven’t played TWW3 though, so I couldn’t tell you how similar it is.

I penalty had not heard of those games so you introduced those to me lol. They look interesting and I’ll probably pick them up when they go ok sale
