Trying to remember...
#1
This is racking my brain. I remember playing a PC RTS/city-building game that was situated in a space station of sorts, in the shape of a ring. It had I think 3 floors - the bottom for general usage, the middle for entertainment, and the top level as a rich environmental area. Your job was to establish a colony of sorts within the confines of the space station, where space is only limited to how many sections of the station are/can be opened up to you as well as the enemies that have also occupied the station to make it for themselves. And the voice acting... I think they were all European accents.

It's 3dish in nature, and I remember playing it on WinXP. I just can't remember the name of that game. It wasn't the best RTS game on the PC for sure, but it was interesting for me to play. So... anyone with an extensive library of games know what game I'm talking about? o.o

Would Startopia be the game you're looking for?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StarTopia

Quote:The player is tasked with developing a series of space stations according to the wishes of various employers. The game is set after an apocalyptic galactic war, and many of the stations are in a state of considerable disrepair. It is hinted that these space stations are essentially the last few space-based environments available to the denizens of StarTopia, as most of them had been destroyed during the war.

The player has no direct control over the aliens that wander about the station. Instead, it is the player's job to construct rooms and hire aliens to staff them. The rooms provide basic necessities as well as recreation, encouraging visitors to remain on the station and continue spending money. Each type of alien is suited to a particular kind of task, and individual aliens have a set of statistics that determine their value as an employee. The actual goal for the player varies from one scenario to the next; in some scenarios, the player is expected to meet an economic goal, while in other scenarios the player is required to perform a specific task such as converting a certain number of aliens, or taking over the entire station by force.

There was another RTS that I had in mind, but this one seems to fit your description better.

Glad to have helped. I wanted to say Space Colony at first, but later on I dug up Startopia and it seemed like a winner.
