Micro-or-Mini Management PC Strategy Game?

Posted by simoniker on from the little-napoleon dept.

darth_MALL writes "I've been looking high and low for the ultimate (could even be free!) single-player PC strategy game that offers detailed troop/battle management. I've met a few contenders that fit the bill: Medieval: Total War is a primo candidate, but Europe just ain't enough! I hate to say, the magic is gone - what I really want is to conquer the known universe from top to bottom. I checked out Ferion, as per another /.'ers suggestion, but it wasn't quite the same thrill as M:TW. What is a bloodthirsty, single player tyrant to do?"

    what is a bloodthirsty single player tyrant to do? perhaps get some friends so you can play multiplayer would do the trick.

    Go into politics, choose a small country, run for leader, build up army and economy, take on neighboring countries...Profit. Keep going until you've conquered the whole world or die trying. How's that for exciting.

    What about Shogun: Total War, or Mexico: Total Enchilada?

    er, wait, that second one was cancelled.

    Rome: Total War comes out in a few months. And from what it looks like, it'll be more than enough to satisfy your hunger.

    Lord knows it's going to cause me to fail a class or two when it comes out.
