Only one guess for #24, the rest remain a mystery.
27: Starting off with a big empire is fine and dandy, at least until possible revolutions happen. You could lose half of your empire in an instant.
So to prevent massive revolutions, you have to make sure to build buildings that increase public order and divy out titles to your top generals.
The more land you get, the more titles. In this game you can take land by attacking adjacent provinces instantly.
26: Having control of the sea, expands trade massively. Having control of land, just looks cool.
Revolution is possible here too, but it is more centralized to certain cities.
When you get a giant empire, there are usually a few other opposing empires. Egypt and someone in Carthage usually, but it is always different.
25: A massive magma titan wants to kill you, and everything in its path.
Okay, actually he doesn't want to kill you. He just kills all normal humans so that special people can live.
The special people are called Conduits.
24: One of the most pivotal games of all open world games. This game features 3 factions vying for control of the continent.
Bethesda. Jump to increase Acrobatics. Run to increase Athletics. Use a spear to increase spear skills. Use an Axe to increase Axe skills.
In addition to 3 main factions there are other factions like the Fighters Guild, Mages Guild, and the Morag Tong. All of which have fun questlines to complete.
23: Hacking and slashing is back, this time with a 4th faction.
The 3 original factions, also got more characters. But one faction lost a few characters to the new faction, although I consider them combined to be a massive faction. The 3 original factions were deadlocked in a stalemate war for 43 years.
The 4th faction is known as the Jin.
