Micro-or-Mini Management PC Strategy Game?

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?"

George Dubya, quit that whining right now!

George Dubya!

Uncle Dick and I told you not to break Iraq!

If you can't play nicely with the toys we already gave you, you'll just have to wait for our next invasion!

Then you can dress up in your nifty flight-suit again and everyone will say how handsome and brave you look.

But now it's time for all little tyrants to take their naps so they can be up early to learn their lines for tomorrow, dear.
