[Strategia_In_Ultima]

Yeah, that's exactly what I like, too. I often play strategy games more for economic/exploration/construction/infrastructure/etc. than for combat. The most fun I had with the ancient strategy game "M.A.X. Mechanized Assault & Exploration" was a hot-seat vs myself, where one player built a small, tightly defended fortress, while the other expanded indefinitely creating a huge base with dozens of Habitats and Research Centers. It's still running.

And I also like Europa Universalis II for its micro-management, with leaders, religion, diplomats that can insult or praise another nation, claiming another nation's throne, the extensive treaty system (would be nice for SEV too, with the victor getting to demand stuff from the vanquished), attrition for armies/navies, rebellions, random/scripted events that reflect actual historical situations, etc.

Oh, and certain scripted events would also be welcome for SEV.
