What are some games similar to They are Billions other than Age of Darkness and Alien Marauder? (midwest.social)

I know this is a very specific question, but does anyone know anything like this?

What I mean by "like TAB" is that it's an RTS and/or citybuilder where you're constantly under attack from all sides, and taking + holding more of the map is the primary thing that enables you to progress in the game.

Age of Darkness is really fun and I know another update is in the works but I've already played it to death much like TAB. Alien marauder just felt like off-brand TAB and I got bored of it after beating each map once.

Riftbreaker has a much more "hands on" action approach rather than being an RTS but you might like it, it's a good game.

Im also waiting for Diplomacy is not an option to leave early access, seems like a promising title although it's kinda simple.

Would you say Age of Darkness is worth buying now or should I wait until it's completed? It looked interesting but reviews are mixed when it comes to bugs, technical performance and content overall.

Tried both of these, while fun they aren't quite what I'm looking for. Riftbreaker is definitely on a higher level then DINAO.

I would say go for it, AFAIK the game is mostly complete (IIRC only big things left are the last 3rd of the campaign and faction-specific models for buildings, possibly multiplayer) and while the bugs can be pretty bad they aren't very common, usually get fixed quickly, and tend to only occur after major updates. Nothing I would consider inappropriate for an EA game at it's stage in development.
