Bear pickers would get what they deserve. At least you can expect a man, if he's forced to eat you, to kill you before he begins.

I want the sense of massive armies movies, and not just fighting battles, but fighting wars.
It's nothing close to that, but Distant Worlds 2 is a interesting Stellaris alternative.
Economy/trade involves large numbers of ships going places, see any screenshot from the game. Target rich environment for pirates/raiders. Empires feel a significantly more 'alive' than your typical Paradox game. You have a lot of options as to how much of economy and other aspects of the game are automated, but some automation enabled is the expected way to play.
It is not quite polished and balanced enough, doesn't live up to its potential, but the one campaign I played was worth it.

I found the voice so grating I closed one of the demos on an impulse. Turns out I categorically do not want someone else's mechanism to talk to me in such a bubbly, ingratiating, worryingly palatable manner unprompted.

I do write a hard scifi novel
Do you? I keep checking the page every other day, and keep getting disappointed.
Kidding. I genuinely enjoyed the novel so far, I'm grateful for each chapter. I thoroughly recommend it to everyone here.
The reviews crack me up each time I take a look. "Pretty cool" - 3.5 stars, on a webzone with rating system where in practice 5 stars means 'readable, MAYBE'.
They are increasingly popular in Poland. A tattoo place I pass by once in a while is called "ACOTATANATO" (translates to "but what will daddy say to this?", a mystery why it's not "ACOTATONATO" which is still correct and flows better) - a vapid, somewhat common reason, I imagine. Rebellion in the face overbearing authority, except such prepackaged rebellion is common, and authority in retreat.

Life got in the way
Honestly, I'm impressed you manage to be so productive, considering all you mention.
you could have left a glowing review right there yourself
I did a while ago, recommended to a friend too. "I'll take a look" - never did, flaky bastard.
We already have a substantial minority of Russian speaking people.
My hunch is that a policy of open arms for all (ethnic) Russian immigrants would help with the Polish reputation of being rabidly russophobic, and make it a tiny bit harder for German politicians to explain away a local conflict as something Poland pushed for and maybe even deserved, actually. And anyway, not many Russians would come, I imagine.
I suppose the potential for sabotage is a concern.
