Doesn't exactly match up but I use Factorio for this. Or more accurately it uses me.

[-] Donkter@lemmy.world 24 points 2 years ago

I mean, factorio has a map, and it's definitely a strategy game.

[-] Chriswild@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

It's also isometric and you can move units around the map to attack enemies.

Army of spidertrons with the remote control, from map view, it's therapeutic nuking aliens from the safety of your mega-base.

Factorio is so good.

Look the factory must grow and all, but it's all about control. Whether it's mapped based war games or factory on a map, the principle is the same, we dah boss dis time

Mindustry addict here. Check it out, it's FOSS and very multiplatform! I recommend starting on Erekir.

I got into this recently playing with my brother and friend. it's the perfect mix of tower defence and factory builder. Also trying to optimize a ammunition belts mid-wave is a kind of addictive thrill of panic I didn't know I needed in my life.

I usually play with Biters off, I get so upset when they eat my carefully planned expansion

I have Mindustry for android. I play it on a galaxy note with a stylus, do recommend.

I like the music in Mindustry also. It makes you want to take over the world by building conveyor belts at it.

I had to stop playing factorio because I stopped sleeping. I keep wanting to try it again but I'm afraid.

[-] CptEnder@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

OMG yes. I'd sit down and be like "I'll play for a couple hours" of Factorio, then check the clock and it's 4AM lmao. Seriously dangerous game haha.

It's midnight and I just went to bed after playing god help me
