Reads1 vs 1
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Anno 1800
AI scripted, not adaptive
Fallout: New Vegas
Scripted factions and enemies
Variance2 vs 2
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

supply chains and ratios are the game
Fallout: New Vegas
Faction routing, perks, builds heavily rewarded
