"Clockwork Empires"

Let's see...

Her Majesty The Queen
requires
COLONIAL BUREAUCRATS
to bring Civilization to the
Unknown Frontiers

That could have promised historical game about imperial colonization of the America and/or Africa. Could had have revolts of native population, like apaches and/or zulus going rampage. But this game is something different. Bummer...

SuperPower 2 Steam Edition at 75% off:
http://store.steampowered.com/app/282400/?snr=1_7_7_weeklongdeals_150_5

It's old but it's good.

"SuperPower 2 is the only global geopolitical simulation game which allows players to control entire countries. Players control countries in 3 major areas: political, economic and military, but this time, in a beautiful real-time 3D environment."

FLYING TIGERS: SHADOWS OVER CHINA at 40% off
http://store.steampowered.com/app/365810/

"Did American pilots really fly combat for China?"

...edit: have you not played War in the Pacific?...

"FLYING TIGERS: SHADOWS OVER CHINA is an air-combat action game based on the historical events of America’s secret volunteer squadrons that flew against Japan in the China-Burma-India (CBI) Theatre of World War 2."

Rumours of a jump-in mode for integrated use with War in the Pacific 2: Lower Decks Edition are as yet unfounded.
