I studied history for years. Because I'm an engineer, and history is practical engineering. The most competent leader wins by using available means. Recently an idea struck me: why don't I create my version of history game. Like Civ, but the way I'd like it to be, more real. Since I already understand history on the engineering level. I'll just model all meaningful resources, allow industry, trading, war. Just make a game that would be fun for me to play. So, here we go. I spent 2 weeks thinking it through, wrote a 20 page design document, and now development has started. A few basic mechanics have been implemented. People can hunt in forests. Forest can be chopped. Wood can be used to build houses. Agriculture can be built. Peopl can work in agriculture to produce food. Population grows. It's a tiny fraction of what is planned, but it already works. Here's a simple rendering of the map. I think it will be a nerdy game, but I know exactly how it should be made to be fun at least for me. Maybe there are people who also would prefer a game like Civ, but with more complicated model of reality.
