Sorry if this isn't allowed, but I'd like to share a little known game that others here may enjoy.
While Particracy was offline the other day, I searched around for a similar game. I came across this, http://mightandfealty.com
The game is so amazingly in-depth, its mind blowing.
Set in the dark ages, you control 1 or more characters as a noble where you are able to do everything from manage settlements/town/cities, trade, fight in wars, start wars, join empires, start empires. Its a sandbox world of endless possibility.
