Sorry, I should have further specified. In those games, unlike IRL, fighting for resources is part of the story. It doesn't arise organically from player interactions. This is not what I am looking for.

Unlike in almosts all video games, real warfare is not over getting the best kill to death ratio, capturing a flag, or just for the sake of fighting. Instead, warfare IRL is about gaining or protecting resources or protecting or spreading ideologies, which are valued either on their own right or...

The distinction between sandbox and not is rather fuzzy. In Planetary Annihilation, you still chose what planets you want to colonize and how exactly you want to build your settlements, which is for the most part sandbox enough for me.

Thanks for the suggesting. It seems like I still wouldn't be able to exterminate everyone, but otherwise the game sounds pretty good.

Okay, I think this is really just an issue in terminology. I consider "thinking" to mean, "inferring knowledge," which robots do, and you apparently define thinking as "inferring knowledge with a brain." Similarly, I think our definitions of running an evil empire are different. I essentially...

What evil things can you do exactly?

I've been learning about Taint, and it doesn't seem that bad. It changes the colors of blocks and makes mobs stronger, but that seems about it. That doesn't really seem like destroying the world. Also, I still wouldn't be able to reach a sizable number of other players' bases, as players are...

It's obvious that they think. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to walk to targets and shoot at enemies. Although as far as I know they don't feel, neither does any character in video games, so it would be a double standard to require ones in Planetary Annihilation to have feelings in order for...

An empire is a group of peoples ruled over by an emperor. There are diverse robots that are ruled over, and robots are just as much people as AIs that are supposed to be humans in the game. There are settlers, as you can settle other planets. The resources you get are essentially taxes...

I'm not knowledgeable on the plugin, but couldn't players just outrun the Taint so that it stays in unloaded chunks? Regardless, this still sounds interesting; thanks for suggesting it. Do you know of any good servers with Thaumcraft?

The entire world? All 900000000 square kilometers of it? Sounds improbable...

What do you mean no empire building? You can build factories and an army. I never asked for humans in the game. Yes, it's unfortunately not much of a sandbox, but you still can have complete control over what and where you build, and you can destroy worlds, which is pretty much good...

Planetary Annihilation looks very good. It's almost exactly what I'm looking for.

Yes, the game looks great. Thanks. Too bad it's not first-person or out yet...

I think the issue I have with all these games is that they just aren't flexible enough. Are there any voxel sandbox games that allow for these evils?
