New hints interlude. Because why not.

#32: Chose one of three families, naturally one goes west over the mountains, the next goes east towards islands and ancient lands, and the third goes across the sea to the desert and fertile shores.

Hint 2: Even though each of these three families are the driving force behind the expansion of this empire, or republic actually, you all still answer to a central government that owns the capital.

Hint 3: At some point however, you'll want everything for yourself, and you'll start a big war to conquer all the areas of the other two families and, finally, the capital itself to become the first emperor.

#31: This games comes with what is maybe the most accessible map editor ever shipped alongside a game, where you can simply put down track elements such as tabletops, whoops and low high and high jumps as simple tiles.

Hint 2: Especially interesting, I always thought it was pretty hypnotising at least, was how you had to "verify" your newly built track before you could save it. The computer would then visibly trace your tiles and pieces first with black outlines from start to finish, and then remove all the tiles one after one temporarily in the backwards order.

32 is Rome Total War

31 is maybe RollerCoaster Tycoon, not really sure on that genre.

Rome Total War is correct!

RollerCoaster Tycoon is not however. Let's recap; Excitebike as guessed by GoOnKid was fairly close, one of its aspects is the same as my game. It's however not in the Excite series or a Nintendo game. It's also not RollerCoaster Tycoon, and I'll give a bonus hint; it's not that genre either, Excitebike was closer.
