I stumbled upon Gemfire a few years ago and got really into it for a few weeks.
You run an empire and have to build up troops, send them, money and grain between territories to take over others and watch out for markets, plagues and betrayals.
It's fairly simple, and the difficulty can be bullshit, so you have to work out the meta and stick to that, no room for roleplay, but it's entertaining, and the battles are little tactical affairs.

Never see anyone talking about Gemfire, but it's worth a go.
