I'm making a tactical RPG that uses events from the First Punic War
you should read up on it, it's got some batshit instance events
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Punic_War
>In 288 BC, the Mamertines, a group of Italian (Campanian) mercenaries originally hired by Agathocles of Syracuse, occupied the city of Messana (modern Messina) in the northeastern tip of Sicily, killing all the men and taking the women as their wives.[13] At the same time, a group of Roman troops made up of Campanian "citizens without the vote" also seized control of Rhegium, which lies across the straits on the mainland of Italy. In 270 BC, the Romans regained control of Rhegium and severely punished the survivors of the revolt. In Sicily, the Mamertines ravaged the countryside and collided with the expanding regional empire of the independent city of Syracuse. Hiero II, tyrant of Syracuse, defeated the Mamertines near Mylae on the Longanus River.[14] Following the defeat at the river Longanus, the Mamertines appealed to both Rome and Carthage for assistance, and acting first, the Carthaginians approached Hiero to take no further action and convinced the Mamertines to accept a Carthaginian garrison in Messana. Either unhappy with the prospect of a Carthaginian garrison or convinced that the recent alliance between Rome and Carthage against Pyrrhus reflected cordial relations between the two, the Mamertines petitioned Rome for an alliance, hoping for more reliable protection. However, the rivalry between Rome and Carthage had grown since the war with Pyrrhus; therefore, according to Warmington, an alliance with both powers was simply no longer feasible.[15]
>[...] Leaving the Carthaginians alone at Messana would give them a free hand to deal with Syracuse. After the Syracusans had been defeated, the Carthaginian takeover of Sicily would essentially be complete.[16]

The downfall of the Samurai due to new weapons, tech, and the pressure of trading with foreigners probably made me love this game a lot more than I should.
The viking era, but more specifically the time just after the colonization of Iceland.
>New land of Greenland to explore
>Indjuns to the west
>Feudalism in Iceland
>Raiding the British to the south
>Trading with the slavs to the east
>Exploring Byzantine to the south-east
Finno korean hyperwar would be a cool setting desu
