Iva always wanted to play a game that is a mix of total war with something like europa universalis.

As in total war the only thing is that i dont like the turn based strategy in the game and would like it to have a little more emphasis on the goings on outside of the battlefield and get more involved in the deplomacy, economy and social aspects.

Does anyone know of any games which are like this that are also historic real time strategies based when there is no guns etc.

i no its a big ask but i was just wondering??

suggestions??

thanks

Metal Gear Solid, it focuses on the political and social effects of war, and has alot to do with genetic engineering, pretty intense and complicated story. But its for the PS1. Im pretty sure there was a PC release though, but it may be harder to find.

I would suggest both Civilzation 4 and Dawn of Discovery(also known as Anno 1404 outside of the U.S.)

This is not a strategy game, as it were. I would imagine there are at least a few indie games based on this genre somewhere on the internet, however they probably don't focus on visuals.

Damnit I can't take it! It's not "Is there any games in this category???" it's "ARE there any games in this category"!! Notice how the word "games" is plural and the word "is" is singular. Looking forward to being called a grammer nazi btw.

Umm I never played ether Total War or Europa... but going by the description I'd guess you want diplomacy and a real time game. And I'm not going to touch, historic.... Overlord II? Maybe? Has a sections where you control a few towns... and is full of action style gaming. Although, it more of a good versus evil type of thing. And far from any type of real time, genre. . Neverwinter Nights 2 has something very light of that in Act III..... where you are in control of a region. But it takes about 40 hours before you get to that part, and it's not really going to be what you want. Actually, forget it.... It's a D&D RPG. Umm... I can only think of a space game that's kinda like what you're describing; which is the X3 series.... But not really diplomacy in a complex fashion. Lot more simpler than that. It's mainly packed full of Economy and is a space flight sim. Terran Conflict is manageable without a joystick, though. Reunion, not so much... But Economy they have in spades. Reunion being a lot harder than TC, when it comes to earning money, though. Civ IV Beyond the Sword had the diplomacy and war stuff down pat, but it's turned based... purely, turned based. And Colonization would have your history aspect, but I found that game to be way too slow....

Knights of Honor.

Lord of the Realm 3 might fit the bill like before. You may want to consider a few more economically focused games like Dawn of Discovery (although theres little in the way of politics).
