As a kid I remember playing an old MS-DOS game that was kind of similar to MoO but may have predated it. You were in command of a new government on a resource-rich planet called Harmony and you had to steer your society through a star cluster full of intrigue and war. There was more of an over-arching narrative than something like MoO or Civilization, but much of the gameplay was similar. It had a bit of a Dune vibe.
For the life of me I can't remember what this game was actually called. Does this ring a bell for anyone else? Would love to look it up again.

- katabasis 4y agoThank you! This is it. There isn't a lot of information online about this game (not even a Wikipedia article – though there is one for another 1992 game called "Maelstrom" that is unrelated). However, someone created an old-school fan website as a labor of love: http://www.overlordofharmony.com http://www.overlordofharmony.com I wonder how feasible it is to play an old DOS game like this on a modern Mac...
