Seeking Strategy games with nomadic playable factions

[Pretentious Goblin]

Looking for strategy games that have factions that can pack up their assets (that are static for other factions) and relocate. Or else, grand strategy games that don't tie you down to a location, you can either move your stuff around or you play as mobile characters.

Starcraft, Terran faction. Kinda, since iirc it doesn't apply to some of their buildings.
Oriental Empires
Crusader Kings 2
Thea 2
Endless Legend has one
Endless Space has one, Endless Space 2 has one too I believe
Age of Wonders: Shadow Magic
Europa Universalis 4
Imperator: Rome
Sid Meier's Civilization: Beyond Earth (technically any faction can just have aquatic cities, but a couple are more focused on it)
Total War: Attila
Total War: Warhammer
I guess Crusader Kings 3 now that you can apparently play landless, haven't got it yet

Age of Empires 4 (Nomads can relocate their bases)
Dawn of War 1 (The Eldars can move their bases there)

Thanks for the suggestions, however the main reason for my request is to avoid static empire-building and static construction, so any kind of city-building game defeats that purpose.

Your Mage Tower can be uprooted and flown to other locations usually to gain new resources. Later on you can even make your Tower permanently airborne so you can project your borders while flying. There's still some static constructions in the form of outposts but their borders are much smaller and the numbers that can be built are limited.

Thanks, that looks and sounds promising, I may get it on my next PC if it doesn't have hit chances in combat. From what I can see in the screenshots, it has damage RNG but not hit RNG?

IDK if you played the classic, and in my opinion best RTS game ever made, Empire Earth, it's huge 15 Epochs, compared to Age of Empires 2's 4 Epochs. You could have a Robot Army against enemies Rock throwers.

Or if you prefer newer Northgard felt nice to play, with hero upgrades and survival aspects given to RTS. Tho, I'm not sure if it had the freedom you were looking for.

I actually can't remember. I think there's definitely fumble mechanics where you'd deal lower damage but I can't remember if you can miss completely. The combat mechanics are very similar to those of Age of Wonders 3, Planetfall, and 4 if you have played those. But the combat is definitely not the biggest selling point here, that goes to the unique blend of 4X-strategy and rpg along with the simple but deeply satisfying crafting mechanics. Necromancy "crafting" in particular becomes one of the unique ones in video games not just the usual "kill enemies, get undead" mechanics. It's an underrated game and I personally enjoyed it just as much if not more than the way pricier and bigger Age of Wonders 4.

I like AoW and see some similarities. I'll look more into the game, thanks again.
