Strategy giant Paradox Interactive has quite a few seasonal deals on various places. The easiest way to go is Steam, with the option to pick up theParadox Complete Pack($75/€55). That includesMount & Blade,Mount & Blade: Warband,Sword of the Stars: Ultimate Collection,Majesty Gold,Majesty 2and theKingmakerexpansion,Lead and Gold, theKing Arthurgames and all theHearts of Iron IIIyou’ll ever need. Most of the games are 50% off individually as well.
Green Man Gaming has deals ona numberof Paradox games, most notablyHearts of Iron IIIfor about €2 less than on Steam. Direct2Drive has its own share of deals includingMount & Blade: Warbandfor $15 and a couple of games that aren’t on Steam. Similarly,Gamersgatehas deals for some games that aren’t on Steam as well.

I kind of wish they’d just have all their games on Steam, but if you are into cheap hardcore strategy games for the PC, then you have plenty to choose from. If you only want a few individual titles I’d recommend taking a look on Steam and comparing it to Gamersgate, as prices vary a lot between the two.
