Greetings to all! I’ve played Total War titles for years and enjoy building an empire. Now I would like to broaden my horizons and am looking for similar games that satisfy this itch.
To categorize: in TW, 99% of the time I’ve only played the overarching map. The battles themselves are not that important to me.
I am variable when it comes to the setting. I like Sci Fi very much, if there is something there!

Rules:
1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy “anti-woke” energy, you probably shouldn’t be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.
I can recommend Age of Wonders games. Classic series is fantasy but there’s also sci-fi spinoff Planetfall which you might enjoy even more.
Edit: Also Civilization obviously. I recommend especially 5.
Edit 2: If you don’t mind really old games, check out Master of Orion 1/2.
Masters of Orion was a great game I had as a young kid. Never understood what I was doing until I was much older.
Got it in a scholastic book fair
It was indeed great game. Second one improved it to almost perfection, at least for its time.
