Yes, but does that still count as “modern”?

Better specify, the right kind of infrastructure, not just more highways.

How exactly would it “get stomped”, and by whom?

I think you mean Tactics Ogre. Although it’s a spinoff of another game called Ogre Battle.

Hollow Knight, I got about 70% through, but then it got too difficult. Still enjoyed the part that I played though.
