Sure! Here's a simple text-based game where you can play as France during World War 1. Since it's a text-based game, I won't be using pictograms. You can copy the code below and save it as a .html file to play it.
In this game, you start with 100 resources, 500 troops, and 5 territories. You can choose three actions: "train troops" which costs 30 resources and gives you 50 troops, "gather resources" which costs 20 troops and gives you 50 resources, and "conquer territory" which costs 100 troops and gains you one additional territory.
The game will keep running until you either have no more troops or territories, leading to a game over message.
Note: This game is a very simplified representation of World War 1 and focuses on resource management and decision-making rather than complex military strategies. Feel free to modify and expand it according to your preferences.
