Planetary Annihilation looks very good. It's almost exactly what I'm looking for.
How? There is literally no empire building in that at all.
There's not even any humans, everything in the game is a robot.
It isn't a sandbox either, it's an RTS game.
What do you mean no empire building? You can build factories and an army.
I never asked for humans in the game.
Yes, it's unfortunately not much of a sandbox, but you still can have complete control over what and where you build, and you can destroy worlds, which is pretty much good enough for me.
That's not empire building, that's a robot building automated factories to build a robot army.
There's no taxes, or politics, or diplomacy, or settlers, or civilian populations, or happiness to manage.
All there is are 2 to 8 of soulless automaton hell bent on annihilating each other through whatever means necessary. And that means is often through building even more robots to fight the other robots.
Machines dont have feelings. They dont feel pain. All they do is follow orders. You can't exactly be an evil empire if nobody is suffering under your rule, now can you?
Try looking into Europa Universalis 4, Crusader Kings 2, Endless Space and Endless Legend.
Those are real empire building games. And a number of factions in the latter two could definitely be described as evil, especially the Cravers, Necrophages and Cultists.
