Tribes: Early Civilization is a thematic prequel to Nations, designed by one of the Nations designers. It is a fast 3X game with a twist as each player has their own separate area to explore, expand, and exploit. The other two areas of the game are highly interactive:

The variable three-tiered technology tree in which the first inventor gets a bonus.

The actions column in which you take an action every turn and unwanted actions accumulate shells in a closed system.
