Stellaris

A signal in distant space is calling out to your empire. What does this entity want, and how does it know who you are? Horizon Signal is a new and rich storyline written by Alexis Kennedy, a British writer best known for his work at Failbetter Games, which he co-founded. His writing for Sunless Sea and Fallen London has been widely acclaimed, and now he is scribing new stories for Stellaris. This story update is a free DLC for Stellaris and highlights one of the great strengths of the game – its ability to tell stories that entertain and entrance without distracting you from the core strategic gameplay. The DLC consists of a somewhat rare event chain that can potentially be triggered at any time in your game. Even if you are playing a save that was started before installing Horizon Signal, the event chain can still occur in your game.

Ashes of the Singularity is a real-time strategy game set in humanity’s not-so-distant future. What it means to be human has changed with the coming of the singularity. In the post-human economy, sentience is now the most valuable commodity in the universe.

It's a war. Thousands of units are constantly constructed and sent across the planet with the player directing entire armies, in real time, to capture key resources in an effort to gain total control of the planet.
