That's what I'd call a GOG.
Grafic didn't age well but game Idea is still top.

Imperialism
Description
Do you have the necessary ambition and skills required to carve up underdeveloped nations and expand your country’s sphere of influence? Then go forth and conquer the world using any and all means available to you. Exploit the New World for its cornucopia of riches and resources as you race towards imperial supremacy over the entire world. You won’t be alone in your endeavors, however, as your Ministers are there to give useful advice whilst you retain the ultimate control over the fate of your nation and, eventually, the entire world.
Imperialism offers turn-based strategic gameplay in either a randomly generated world or in a scenario based on historic events. Choose from seven industrial powers including Great Britain, Hungary, Sardinia, Italy, Russia, and the Ottoman Empire and three different points of historical interest: the very beginnings of imperialism in 1820, in 1848 which was the year of tumultuous revolutions, or in 1882 and the nascent beginnings of the arms race that led up to the Great War. Take the reins of command and remake history as you dominate the world in Imperialism!

- An ingenious AI provides and maintains a unique strategic personality for each of the Major Powers.
- Cabinet Ministers assist you in various ways with advice and direction, depending on the difficulty level.
- Use the subtle art of diplomacy or the equally effective art of trade as you forge alliances or dominate your enemies.

Good and tough
A good tough game that required intelligence and cunning to win. If you like strategy, economy and backstabbing, that's your game.

Old Favorite
Been playing this game off and on for decades, and have been very immersed in it plenty of times. Has the basics of economics and grand strategy all in one, plus is challenging to master even at the easiest levels. Harder levels make this a grooling campaign to be sure!

Nice strategy/4X game
Clear UI and game mechanics. Seems a combination of civilization and Europa Universalis, though with a more clear/simple set of gameplay mechanisms.
