Like others said, pretty much blasphemy leaving off Tradewars, but props for mentioning Usurper! LORD was fun mostly only fun (unless it was heavily modded) for social/community aspects. Usurper was kind of like LORD, but was actually fun to play in and of itself.
The source code to Usurper is on GitHub somewhere and it's a pretty cool read. It's actually kind of busted: I think there are a couple stats that do nothing and several things that are just purely random. Just shows the importance of flavor and presentation, I guess!

I somehow never really played Tradewars...
