Are there any strategy games that focus on smaller scales such as towns or small regions instead of just painting the world?

I always thought the 'grand' came from the many systems and methods that you could use to dominate, not just the size of the map

Check out Frostpunk and see if it interests you...
Maybe Rebuild 3?
These are generally called "city building survival" games, to contrast with traditional city building like SimCity (which you also might like)
At that point it's strategy and city building.
The Anno series. Banished. There was an early access game set in prehistoric game that looked promising.
In the same vein as those, something like Surviving Mars or Tropico might also qualify
The grand scale of taking over all wisconsin is still a massive scale if you make the detail fine enough. Might as well say "it's not grand scale if you can only take over earth and not the whole solar system"
distant worlds universe has something you need. very detailed
The Guild games? Maybe Anno?
There are also good.
Look up Slitherine and Matrix games for that level of depth, although a lot are turn-based.
I would recommends mods of paradox games.
For HoI4, my biggest recommend is Old World Blues set in the Fallout univers. It's awesome and is centered around the West of USA (and now also alaska and mexico)
yakuza 0 real estate mini-game
Actually this, something with that sort of mechanics, but it's own game
Are there any FPS games that focus on melee combat such as katanas or small axes instead of just shooting negroes?
Are there any RPGs where I don't have to bother with character creation, stats and shitty dialogue? I just want to hack niggers up.
Red Steel
For Honor, Mordhau
And RPG without RPG elements? Why not play a different genre?
I want something like EU4, but focused more on the logistical side of things. Focused on maintain supplies and ammunition, building up defences and economic output, population control etc
Any horror games that aren't scary?
grand strategy games derive their name from the term "grand strategy," which has a definition. it's specifically the interaction of states on the world stage

Shadow Emprie but its more of a 4x game that gsg
March of the Eagles
Fair point. Is there a term for a wide scope strategy game based on a small scale? Midwinter for instance.
