Equestria at War is funny as shit. I remember having Starlight Glimmer’s Communist Party win the Equestria parliamentary elections, which makes Celestia abdicate in disgust and Luna start a reactionary counter-revolution leading to a civil war, in which the Crystal Empire joins the reactionary forces (naturally). Meanwhile the Fascist Changlings ate some random kingdom of deer before trying to invade Equestria, leading to a desperate trench warfare stalemate along a swampy river basin while I mopped up the domestic reactionaries. Naturally, the solution to this stalemate consisted of two things: nuclear war and lots of it, and a tank column flanking through the subjugated Crystal Empire to mop up the lightly defended north as my infantry marched through a now irradiated swamp, dying in greater numbers to radiation poisoning than to enemy fire.
Then it was just consolidation, more nukes, elaborate ocean crossing and beach landing plans against the Fascist Griffin empire that were obviated because I just covered literally everything in nukes over and over until they had no soldiers left and the war casualty ratio was something like 2,000,000 to some single digit thousands number (because one troop carrier sank). Then just more consolidation to finish painting the map.
Something about the juxtaposition of colorful magical creatures and the horrors of industrialized nuclear warfare waged between reactionaries and revolutionaries who just want a better world almost feels profound.
For being obnoxious and taking over the forum, not for being too sexist. I think. I’m not gonna check.
Edit:
It’s not 1:1 buuuuuut: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/VideoGame/EquestriaAtWar

Ok, but also it has Socialist. Communist and Anarchist paths.
As I’ve said before: “Do recommend playing the Seapony Posada path, it was fun.”
