It would be neat if there was a more modern computer game like SMAC but set on earth and radically based.

Edit: original smac is a great game but there’s a lot of ideology in there that’s quintessentially end-of-history neoliberalism, and the entire premise of the story depends on interstellar fantasy tech. What I’m imagining is like a civ-style game set in a climate/ecological disaster near-future earth, where ideologically-aligned factions compete for dominance over what’s left

Spartans are the stupidest of original factions. The whole concept doesn’t make sense.
