    Is this Civ? I love strategy games but I tried playing IV and I just couldn't get into it, I thought it was really tedious that it was taking me 20 turns just to build one worker because I didn't have enough production resource or whatever.

    A better and cooler strategy game I've played recently is Oriental Empires. It's a Civ clone set in ancient China, but with Total War style battles and settlement management. A really cool thing about that game is that class warfare and peasant rebellions play a huge role in the gameplay.

    Peasant unrest is modeled separately from noble unrest, and if you order to many building projects or your cities suffer from famine your peasants will revolt and declare war on you. There are three different types of units in the game: peasant militias, noble militias, and professional soldiers, and only the nobles and professional soldiers are effective in combating unrest because peasant militias don't affect unrest when garrisoned and if you try to suppress a revolt with them they will defect.

    The bad thing about this is that since you play as the ruler this means you spend a lot of your time killing peasants, but it's nice to see class conflict actually represented in a strategy game instead of your workers being mindless automatons like in Civ or Age of Empires, or civil unrest just being background noise that you have to deal with like in Total War.

      Idk about Civ IV, but Civ V with all the DLC stuff is very good. Civ VI is fine but not as good as V imo.
