Space Haven vs Dwarf Fortress opinions
You don't directly give orders, you change the settings, choose priorities, etc. Pretty much Rimworld in space. - Build a secret base, gain notoriety by completing daring missions, repel the forces of justice in real-time combat, and develop evil super-weapons to complete your nefarious master plan.
