I purchased this product on DMsGuild and though I really haven't dug into it yet, I love the idea. It is a realm stewardship game with your realm as a PC with a character sheet! Anyway I thought I would share:
Crowns and Castles
Crowns & Castles lets you play D&D as a 4x empire strategy game.
You're no longer playing as a single character. In C&C you're in control of an entire realm that you create from scratch, making decisions for its military, economy, culture, and diplomacy. That realm gains experience, levels up, and unlocks new abilities. And you're going to do all this in a co-op, player-vs-player, or mixed environment with a DM who guides the world's narrative and lets you attempt anything you can dream.
Choose a race, pick a government and founding backstory. construct buildings, discover natural resources, create powerful artifacts, research and cast continent-spanning spells, spy on your neighbors, sign treaties, trade valuable luxuries, make history, and wage war in a turn-based tactical combat system (check out the free demo "Battle at Shallow Mountain").
C&C can be played at the table or asynchronously one turn at a time. No more worries about cancelling sessions due to schedules. You can use C&C as a setting for multiple simultaneous D&D games where the outcomes of one game affect everyone else in a shared, living world, or simply as an engine to create your own worlds. The system is setting-agnostic and easily reskinnable to your existing homebrews.
You get:
An editable realm sheet is available through google docs in the purchase note.
