Galactic Civs was pretty good, and Moo3 (patched!!! I hasten to add) is worthy of a second look too.
Tamerlin, if you liked CoW you might want to try Crown of the North (another paradox game). It includes the latest version of EU2 and an renovated version of Svea Rike 3

CoW had realtime battles, no? I don't think of EU2 as more real time than that. I have every significant action set to pause the game.
Not really, it is a bit like a more sophisticated CtP2 battle resolution.
You place your troops on starting positions (front line, flanks, rear lines and so on), select their formation (square, column, line, etc.), their stance (hold, move and hold, assault, etc.) but once you click on the start button you don't have any control on your troops. The decision is thus made before the battle resolution thanks to the quality (or lack of) of the troops, your placement on the board, the right formation choice and the right orders. Nothing close to a real time battle system.
