Victoria II: The critically acclaimed sequel/reboot of its poorly-received predecessor, Victoria II let the player take control of the life of Queen Victoria and face ruling an empire during her time on the throne. Victoria II was praised for how thoroughly each decision could be played out and how past user choices reflected on future events both within the Empire and internationally.

Edit: FRICK'S FRICK, YOU GUYS HOOKED ME INTO A THREAD NECRO.

Caesar: A political RPG in which you have to back-stab your way to become emperor. You start out as a minor general but the war fighting is downplayed to the political aspects of the game. Bribe the proles with bread and circuses, bribe senators and the Praetorian Guard to get them on your side, ally yourself with other generals and then back-stab them the moment it is in your interest. Considered one of the more realistic Roman Empire sims.

D-Day in Friesia

An on-line simulation game of the most horrific failure of WW2, where you command a division and attempt to batter your way onshore. Based on the Friesian Islands Campaign of WW2, which historically saw the Allied Invasion Force destroyed, thus leading to the occupation of all of Europe occupied by Soviet Union. Can you recreate history by making this work. It also includes an alternative scenario where you can land in Normandy.

One of the hardest games ever created, it has been panned by critics as impossible to win.

:p

In case no one knows what I am talking about, read the thread D-Day landings on the Friesian Islands.

Just writing down one...

Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3: A sudden turn of Darker and Edgier for the franchise, heralded as the best yet since Petroglyph Games acquired the Command & Conquer franchise back from Electronic Arts. The third side, the Dynasty of the White Dragon (obviously China), have a very interesting look based on the Qing Dynasty and FFVII style magi-tech "techno-occultism". The game was a reset button of the Red Alert series, despite similarities (Allied Chronosphere teleport device, Soviet weaponised Tesla coils etc) and the name. Frank Klepacki did not return to the recording but an all-new approach by new recording artists was used - the Allies have a very patriotic-sounding soundtrack and Red Army style stuff for the Soviets. The expansion pack, Uprising, depicts a fourth Skynet type faction called The Phalanx. Gameplay-wise, very similar to the C&C games. The plotline involves some interesting additions in the form of outright supernatural elements, like capturable psychic covens, flamethrower paladins and other such, the game itself is dark and gritty, a mix of real-world equipment and fictitious stuff permeates, and is set in the year 1954 in an alternate Cold War turning into WWIII (as a reboot of the first two).

(I've heard a lot of flak about the game Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 in RL, and I wanted to come up with this what-if - I do like Red Alert 3 in OTL but I think it's a bit too silly even for me overall.)
