Guys help me out please.
I'm looking for a turn based 4X strategy game I played around 2002-2004. Kinda similar to Civilization but set in the not so far future (21st or 22nd century) and instead of countries you led one of the opposing economical blocs (south-american, european, asian etc.) Had 2D graphics and pre-rendered cutscenes which played during gameplay (in a window IIRC) and documented stuff happening in the game (one of them I remember depicting rioters destroying and looting Lenin's mausoleum in Russia). I recall it being more economy/admin focused than warfare and one of the game's units was a space shuttle/space plane. Soundtrack featured music I would classify as... Blues (I guess?) and also Folk(?) among others. Was fully localised in polish language.
I tried scouring through the entire internet but to no avail. Wikipedia's list does not have it included oddly enough. Asking ChatGPT, Grok etc. also proved fruitless.
Yes, I am 100% sure I actually played it and it wasn't no fever dream or something of that sort. Don't happen to have any screenshots sadly.
