Well the closest thing i can think of would be Lords of the realm (changing seasons harvesting cropsand the like).
And maybe Defender of the Crown but that's a huge streatch.

My best bet would be a scrimsh game with AI players in games like "Submarine Titans", "Act of War"... or spectating a game on the "spring engine" like NOTA, CA or other mod (not exacly 0 player but you don't have to do a thing AND you can make your own games and unleash AIs on each other).

Other RTS games might work too but they might lack of a way of spectating bot matches.

Played OTTD and liked it but imo Railroad Tycoon 2-3 did better at modelling a economy.
AND you could influence it by buying out farms/factories as well as creating your own (factories only for balancing reasons).

I really loved shippping raw materials from MY farm/mine to MY production building and then shipping the final goods to wherever they were needed.

Also i think Simutrans is a bit more... hmm... built up compared to OTTD... but it's also a whole lot uglier and harder to get a grip on.

Well i did hear Japan is supposed to have some fast tanks and tanks with oversized guns that were supposed to be used as coastal antiship artilery.


As for nations that got smashed by Germany in the first year...

Imo they should integrate the tanks into already existing nations.

For example the various polish tankettes and light tanks (the ones with proper guns) could be integrated into the Soviet tree on the same premise the chinise variant of a certain matchmaking abomination is present.
Also 7TPjw seems to be one of the better tanks of the early war and could be thrown into the british low tier tree once it gets there.

@Flying Dice
I'd use AC-IN instead purely because of the continuing flames, plus, if the mission was at night, you'd see a hell of a lot further and could snipe at anything, especially if a couple of your guys had any acuracy to speak of.
It was a strategy I took into TFTD and Apoxylips, always bought up every incendiary round available; rockets; bullets; 'nades, whatever.

Hah i also always ended up without IC ammo in apoc. All my men had to have at least one Diablo Nade.
Hell i even gave two autocannons to androids so thay can akimbo them.
And yet the entire gang couldn't make more than 10 grenades a week.


As for the new game...

The narrow corridor problem was partially solved by shield overloading (you could destroy consoles 1 and 2 by shooting AT weapons on shields that close the way to consoles 3 and 4).

Also i don't remember lagging to hell... i did have framerate drops tho but that's only when all 64 players sat on the titan attacking/defending by grenade spamming while the titan slowly goes to hell anyway because noone cares about caping the silos.

Well the official Xpac Fire and Sword has guns.
Blood And steel has guns... but them od itself is kinda... umm... "special" (especially the cannons and spawning undead legions).
Then there was Timeless Kingdoms for native (cool setting but the mod was discontinued).

Aaaand Fallen Heaven it is.

Thanks Xinvoker.
