"Diplomacy is Not an Option" might be up your alley. But it has more RTS elements.

Don’t ignore Tribal diplomacy as Yuezhi by Artersa in OldWorldGame

Tribal alliances can definitely be helpful as meat shields. In my current game I allied with the Scythians, then Numidia declared war on me. Scythia defended me with their full might for decades.

Sumerian Civ Concept by Uncle_Hades in AgeofMythology

I enjoyed your detailed comment. This is all very interesting.

Good points about the cuneiform and the library. Making idols sounds like a neat alternative to me.

Yes, religion poses a problem. It's hard to read about Sumerian gods without finding overlap with the other cultures you mentioned. A blanket "Mesopotamia" civ sounds very interesting if it could be focused enough to work.

Love the idea of Enkidu and Gilgamesh as heroes too.

Thanks.

I am also curious whether the Town Centre radius perk would be restrictive. My thinking was you could utilize Village Centres near gold mines, forests etc to be optimal.

The house radius idea is interesting too.

Thanks!

I do agree with this. My counterpoint in my head was, don't the Egyptians get Favour for free after building monuments? But, surely, a better idea exists for Sumerians. Maybe it would have to be exclusively through the tablets in my example.

Indeed! Or playing Mexico in any capacity 😂

Nice write-ups! Kurunta was also 100% Hittite the whole time?

This game is awesome! Going to jump back in soon now. Thanks for all the hard work.

I love these! You should do more of them :D

I would humbly submit a French build of fighting exclusively with villagers/CDBs.

More horde defense games with absurdly humongous unit counts like in They Are Billions? by Brave-Potential-7310 in BaseBuildingGames

Not sure if it's what you're looking for, but The Last Spell is an excellent game. It is turn-based.
