You compete against other real players to take over the world? You’re a country and have to deal with logistics, military command, etc. It’s just a map and a bunch of info, no characters. Basically risk but more complicated. I feel like i’ve seen this but I can’t for the life of me find it.
Back in the early 2000s I played a few scifi browser games that work similar to what you describe. OGame might still be alive: https://lobby.ogame.gameforge.com/en_GB/
Looks great, thanks!
