So I am trying to think of the best way of describing what I am looking for. You know how there are games out there that involve fighting on an global level to dominate? I was walking through my hall earlier this month and I saw some guys playing a game that had a map of europe over it and it looked like they were supporting a certain country. I know this is really vague, but I have always been interested in playing a strategical game in which you are trying to dominate other countries/players.

I know Civilization V is very close to this description, but I know they were not playing that or any of the other civilization games. If anyone knows of any games like this, let me know. I will try to make this more concise and polished as even I know that it is extremely vague. Thanks guys.

can you describe the graphics or something?
did it look cartoonie, realistic? how old would you judge it?

what kind of warfare did it have?
modern, medieval, ancient??

Well the thing is even though they were playing a specific game, I am just looking for a game that fits this type of style. I remember years ago when I was playing BF2, a friend of mine told me about a FPS game that involved tanks only and it was played on a world-wide scale in which progress was shown as your "faction" won battles.

In this case I am looking for a game that has the same type of feel, strategy based, and can be played on a mac. Right now I am trying to find a way to get windows on my macbook pro so I can start playing any game and not have to feel like I have to limit my choices because mac computers typically do not get games as the same time as PCs.

Their game looked really basic, almost browser based. Honestly, I am in need of a game that is either strategy or mmorpg and is compatible with my mac. This game looked fun since there is a sense of progression and whatnot.

Risk, Axis and Allies, Command and Conquer games, ummm Middle Earth or w/e its called, any of those?

Did it involve Nukes?

Should be Defcon.

It's probably Defcon. I got a copy of it from someone in SRF.

It isn't Defcon. To be completely honest even though they were playing a specific game, I am just looking for a game that fits this type of description. I downloaded Defcon and it's good for what it is. After awhile it gets annoying just calling in nukes. I wish there was a way I could get Company of Heroes on this computer. That was a fun WW2 strategy game even though I sucked at it Anyone know of other games like Defcon? I will keep playing it since it is satisfying me right now haha.
