I'm virtually blank on what game I'm thinking of but I'd swear I saw a detailed review on YT of a game that fits this description ... and then never really heard about it again :/

edit to add: My son tells me that the YT I'm thinking of was almost certainly a very early review of Imperator: Rome

I believe you are thinking of Field of Glory: Empires which the grand strategy, EU/Imperator Rome offering which integrates with Field of Glory 2 (battle sim engine).

And yeah, I've found the concept fascinating but the reviews have always sounded like something I'd personally hate, so haven't even made it a bored lockdown purchase for me yet. With that being said it does seem to have more positive reviews on Steam recently, so maybe something to look at in the future.
