Thanks to this, we can now build cities or even entire states on the water and use the natural resources hidden in the underwater depths, although the latter is connected to a myriad of completely new dangers. Another notable change is the dynamic diplomacy model that also accounts for the actions taken by the player up to that point. The game also features a revamped artifact system and the possibility of combining doctrines and ideologies into various hybrids.

Order of Battle: World War II is a classic turn-based strategy set during WWII, and a debut game by a studio from Luxemburg, called The Aristocrats.

The title combines old-school mechanics, based on games such as Panzer General, with modern 3D graphics. The gameplay is conducted in a turn-based system on typical hexagons. The game, along with its expansions, provides hundreds of units with unique specialties, realistic yet approachable support system and a plethora of legendary commanders providing different bonuses for their armies. In the base version of the game, there is one training camp, serving as a tutorial, and one scenario from each available DLC.

War in the Pacific: The Struggle Against Japan 1941-45 revolves around the war between United States and Japan over the Pacific Ocean area. The game reuses Uncommon Valor engine, which powered the previous game of the studio, but the new installment is much more complicated, expanding available military operations beyond sea battles and including also land and air combat. Similarly to the said predecessor, the game focuses on realism, and pays much attention to small details. Unlike most strategy games, units are not a constant value – the seamen, airmen, or infantrymen all gather experience, and experience fatigue, while each commander has their strong points, as well as weaknesses. War in the Pacific contains 15 diversified campaigns, and remains easy-to-use despite being an unforgiving, complex game.

A realistic strategy game, developed by 2BY3 Games, that is set in the times of the World War II. As its subtitle might suggest, Uncommon Valor's action takes place in the South Pacific region. The action of the game is set in the period between 1942-1943, and takes place in Australia, New Guinea, and Solomon Islands, among others. Unlike in other strategy games, the developers of Uncommon Valor focused mainly on the events that had a visible impact on warfare in the South Pacific region. There are eighteen different campaigns available. A part of the game’s scenarios will take the players less than sixty minutes to finish, but some will require many hours of attention. The realism and detailed recreation of the events featured in the game are among its biggest assets. It can be seen in the depiction of the military units, the objects located on the maps, and the typical frontline logistics. Depending on the chosen difficulty level, some of the player's activities can be carried out automatically.

A turn-based strategy game developed by Western Civilization Software. As the title suggests, the game focuses on the American Civil War, during which brothers often had to turn against each other when the Confederate States declared war upon the northern states, devastating the United States of America. The action of this game is set at the initial stages of the American Civil War, allowing players to participate in the events such as the First Battle of Bull Run, the Battle of Wilson's Creek (1861), the Battle of Mill Springs and the Battle of Williamsburg (1862). Apart from the large campaigns, the game delivers a number of smaller scenarios, including the hypothetical ones presenting an alternative course of events. Battles take place on huge maps covering the area of 50 square miles, divided into 75-yard hexagons. A single turn corresponds to 24 hours in real time. Brother against Brother: The Drawing of the Sword builds on realism – regiments have their unique skills that made them famous during the Civil War. Apart from the units’ stats and player’s tactical decisions, the battle is affected by the amount of supplies, changing weather conditions, and the smoke suspended over the battlefield.
