Which strategy game lets you have fun playing evil?
>>
There is no such thing as evil. Dungeon Keeper isn't about a moral conflict. You are a Dungeon Keeper. All the levels take place underground, in a domain, which is arguably your and your creatures' homeland and certainly not the homeland of the "good guys". If you wanted to frame it in a moral way, Dungeon Keeper 2 is about reconquering your homeland. In one mission you even convince the sons of the King to join your side. They join the side of the "rebels". Strangely while "Evil" can convert "Good", Good isn't capable of doing the same. They are never shown to cooperate with the native creatures of the Underworld. Isn't that strange?

So abandon the childish concept of "good and evil". What do you actually want to see?

Warcraft series (1-2 as Orc, 3 as Undead)

The C&C games, playing Nod, Scrin, and the GLA.. Some other good games are Empire at War, SWAT 2 lets you play as the terrorists, Battle For Middle earth has evil campaign

The Global Liberation Army extensive use of suicide bombers, toxins, and various other things made them quite evil to pretty much their own people even with the propaganda they were using.

Age of Wonders and its sequels
Crusader Kings 2

>>1778594
Not really that, but check out Song of Syx for a fantasy city-builder with combat that allows you to be a tyrant to your citizens and enslave other races and conquer the world.
Otherwise, there's Ruinarch on Steam, but I've never tried it.
>>
>>1778594
I honestly really wish there was some kind of Dark Lord Simulator where you're basically just Sauron. You breed orcs and other assorted monsters, corrupt men/elves/etc into your service (whether they know it or not), corrupt the land itself, build terrifying fortresses, wipe out entire villages of your enemies, force industrialization, etc.

Oh, wait. You CAN play modded Rimworld with Medieval Overhaul, and maybe make something like a custom Scenario with an OP player character roleplaying an Evil Overlord or Barbarian Warolrd and an Evil Ideology that pushes you to be evil/conquer and enslave others.

>>1779030
This is the closest thing I can imagine would fit. Rimworld Ideology makes it possible to gun an "evil" colony.
Biotech adds a bunch of special races and xenogenes you can implant into people and give them special abilities.
With Royalty you get special psy powers, plus the Empire which you can work with or fight
Anomaly adds even more "Dark" supernatural stuff, like rituals and monsters.

With a medieval overhaul and some good set of magic mods or vanilla feature rebranding you could get the closest to it possible.

Or just play an evil Wizard King on Age of Wonders 4.

Shadows of Forbidden Gods

>>1778090
The Dominions series lets you play evil people that exterminate others with blood magic, sacrificing lives to summon demons and shit
Other factions are 100% undead and their favored tactic is drowning the entire world with undead killers and the doomsday scenario you can execute as them is to throw the entire world into a time warp that essentially ages every mortal creature on the game board super fast until eventually every living being dies of old age
If undead factions like this are discovered trying to execute this doomsday scenario in a multiplayer setting every other player will unanimously band together to kill you even though it's an FFA war lmao

Total War Warhammer trilogy has a lot of evil factions. Four kind of demons, undead of normal, David Jones and Mummy kind, Dark Elves with all slave-based economy, orcs, Skaven with their corruption, mutants and weapon of mass destruction and so on.

Dk1 and DK2 show you the overworld map. Your conquests slowly turn that map into a ravaged hell hole

The intro to DK1 shows what a Keeper actually does to the land above. We see a run down town with people collapsing in the streets from sickness.

You are most definitely playing the aggressor in DK1. There might be a case that you are retaking the underworld in DK2 after the overworlders have found a way to cordon off the underworld. But your goals are still aggressive conquest. You employ torture of war captives or straight up turn them into undead for your armies.

In DK1 and DK2 you are also not fighting lige a guerrilla. Rather you take and fortify areas. You behave like an army that lets the enemies come assault fortified positions.

Only in Deeper Dungeons, the expansion to DK1, do you play large parts of the campaig as the underdog which includes lightning fast strikes, the necessity of preparing traps and deliberate planning.

In Hearts of Iron you can play as the Nazis. They were pretty evil.
>>
>>1778090
Paradox games let you play as turks, kikes and americans. If that's not playing evil, idk what is.
>>
>>1778090
Man is the most evil creature of them all, so any game where you play as humans should do the trick.
>>
>>1778106
>In one mission you even convince the sons of the King to join your side
You "convince" them through capturing and torturing them
>>
>>1781510
But after torture they get all the access to the Keeper's training rooms, libraries, casinos, chickens and BDSM clubs. The anon is wrong but the devs certainly toned down how bad you feel in 2 since in the original you are THE evil megafaggot out to ruin everyone's life >>1779281.
>>
>>1779051
Doesn't that dev support the browning/rapefugee invasion of Europe? I think OP wants to play games where you're just fictionally evil.

>>1784509
The answer is make more money. I'm just like that with all those old management lewd games like Whoremaster and Jack o Nine and whatnot, it's about churning out product at low cost and maintaining high profit margins.

Warhammer is the GOAT for playing evil. Also, keep an eye on Gates of Pyre, it looks promising.
>>
>>1778090
Gates of Pyre entails Immortals, the God-like commanders of Creation, leading the armies of their respective factions. It's fun sneaking up on enemies while they source for resources with their home left unguarded. I added it to my wishlist on Steam already after seeing the game play on YouTube.
