Dwarf Fortress, X series, and EVE.
However, Dwarf Fortress is probably the most complex as you have to learn every aspect of fortress workings and so on to fully make a proper fort. Learning irrigation, keeping your dwarves happy, building a decent import-export and crafting chain, working out the mess that atm is the military (although it's better than it was), and so on.
At least with EVE and the X games, you can specialise more. Just takes a lot of time and effort to truly start to excel. However, in the case of EVE, even a newbie can contribute in PvP right from the off, so it isn't so bad.

I can only 'master' one of those Paradox games at a time and promptly forget everything I knew about the others.
Europa Universalis is particulary mind bending, in fact I never did get to grips with either eu2 or 3.

i think the most complex thing about ffxi was trying to find 5 other competent people to do cop missions with!
Could probably argue it is not really a game but a sim,
Microsoft Flight Simulator X with PMDG's 747X, Queen of the Skies.
Be ready for your aircraft to be sitting at the departure gates for hours before you figure out how to power up the aircraft, let alone take-off!
This is true for many other addons too, but worthwhile time investment IMO.

I don't know why loads are saying EvE - it's just a big Excel spreadsheet with a fancy GUI

Never understood the whole eve being mass complex.
Maybe it's because i was playing in the first weeks of the game or something.
Each and every time i try and get my head in to the X series, i can only get so far, maybe thats time that draws that out i dunno.

Depends on how you define complexity.
While on the face of it Quakeworld isn't really that complex a game, modern clients have a level of customisation that exceeds any FPS game I've seen (let me put it this way, my cfg file is over 130K...)

The X games are complex if you tackle playing the game as a single problem. if you break it down its lots of simple tasks that can be learned and mastered.
ArmA2 with a ACE2 is fairly complex.
Iv not yet managed to take off in DCS A10C. But then I guess for complexity the flight sims will always be on top.
EvE was pretty complex. There was no lurning curve just a cliff. Their new tutorial and noob quest phase slowly introduces you to the game much better than previously.
Those are my top few. I personally find Civ to be quite simple ? Perhaps because i played 2 and 3 a lot as a kid.
