We already have Bytro games for WWI, WWII, and WWIII. I think that there should be a new Bytro game for some other historical event like the Revolutionary war, Napoleonic war, American Civil war, and maybe remake the old game Bytro had which was something around the 1700s with sailships and whatnot. Open to discussion, but I think all Bytro ganes are refined enough to start anew, especially since the company gets bigger by the year.

Both of these happened at roughly the same time and probably fit into the same game reasonably well.
Su1914 works from cRusso-Japanese War to about 1925 (MAX).
The problem that everything pre- about 1750 doesn't support industrial warfare on the scale Bytro depicts.
The Crimean War may have been the first modern WWI-type industrial war in tactics, weapons &c. but mass levee, the rise of conscript armies, mass production, and more accurate artillery and associated tactics meant that the face of warfare changed considerably during the Seven Years' War. Only after then do real-time strategy games have any bearing on reality.

I didn't say anything that far back, of course I'm not talking about the medieval and ancient wars where tactics are non-existent. Even now, the scale of armies on Bytro games are way smaller than they are in real life, so it would only become more realistic as we go back in time when the population and militaries were smaller. I would still like to see some sort of pre-industrial game, which Bytro has already made and many people I have seen suggesting it to come back.

Yes that's what I was thinking of, I think it was one of their first games to go along with Supremacy and it follows a similar system. It is still talked about by people to this day but I think of just fell out of favor since Bytro wasn't large enough to manage multiple games at a time.
It was called "New world empires" but most links just go to supremacy 1914.

They also had "Thirty Kingdoms" a medieval game.

There was new world empires wich cover from 16th Century to 19 Century, it was active many years but eventually shut down due low playerbase and income.
It was boring honestly
