An open-world turn-based strategy game. Whether the game is similar to XCOM, the remake/reboot of XCOM, Fire Emblem, or some other turn-based strategy game doesn't really matter to me.

I know the game industry's oversaturated with open-world games, but, well, (insert obligatory statement about how this idea is different here).

Moving throughout the open world wouldn't be turn-based (thankfully) but the battles that would occur at an area might occur within the same place a battle occurred previously, and perhaps the player could, on the open world map, lure enemy parties into an ambush already set up at another location...

Dunno, really. Just seemed cool to me.

Hsaving the open-world not be turn based can be awkward. It is sort of weird to suddenly have the time-frame change radically(See Fallout 3 and its V.A.T.S. system. Not exactly jarring but, well, there have been no shortage of jokes made about how time just stops and waits for you to plan out your magical shooting frenzy...). I mean, technically speaking, the old Gold-Box R.P.G.s sort-of fit the bill. Pool of Radiance has turn-based battles with multiple pieces on both sides, open areas to run around triggering random encounters at, and a bunch of story-encounters and side-quests that can often be undertaken in any order. The out-of-combat motion is turn-based but, meh, I don't really see as it is a big difference?

Although I do kind of like the idea of taking my undead army across the land and trying to control alert levels while building up my forces. Most games of that ilk have some kind of time limit or constant degredation or enemy forces building up or what have you that prevent much in the way of mucking about and just enjoying your endless horde of the unliving, 'know..

I've had a similar thought.  I think it would be cool to have a game set in a post-apocalypse setting where your squad roams real time on a click to move basis (like mount and blade) and then when you encounter an enemy group BOTH you and the enemies get a free move to cover the way that alien pods do in Xcom.  Then it switches to a turn based mode.

Tyranny 2. Tyranny was a great experience, and overall much more polished than Pillars of Eternity, though still lacking that special something to be a truly masterpiece game. But what I REALLY want is one of these Baldur's Gate/D&D influenced games that isn't afraid to A.) be a little more diverse with its decisions (case in point Tyranny's great context coloring and magic system), stats, and classes, and overall less rigid in building a character, and B.) diverge from the distinct but incredibly generic 2.5D early CRPG art style which really isn't doing the genre any favors.

EDIT: Cautiously optimistic for PoE II: Deadfire, but... I don't know, despite a slew of attempts I find it impossible to get into the original.

A persistent, small-scale RPG game with drop-in/drop-out multiplayer, designed around shared worldbuilding and player interaction. In some ways it's a little like minecraft's multiplayer, but with diverse and specialized player roles and either a handmade world or else a detailed procedural generator.

Does anyone know of a sort of exploration game with completely (or at least almost completely) randomized creatures which you get to discover and study? That would definitely be interesting to me.

No, but Spore has a bit of that in the brief bit where creature parts actually matter. Of course, it is terrible in every possible way, but still, you technically have options to exploit them being worse at one thing than another, even though that is a massive waste of time and studying consists of looking at their stat bars, and of course they are player-created rather than random, but with the massive array of players creating them, there is a lot of varied and original forms of pornography, enough to contend with whatever random generation pattern you could hope for...

It's not exactly what you're asking for, but I get the feeling you'd really enjoy Microscope.

A Crusader Kings based game in the Fallout Universe. A mix between nation building and a focus on characters like in CK2. That would be glorious.

There is a Fallout CK2 mod. Also, not what you're looking for, but there is also Real Time Settlers for Fallout. (and vanilla FO4)

I want a video game adaptation of Campaign for North Africa, so that it's actually playable

I've kinda missed the old Sid Meyer's civil war games.  They don't run on modern systems anymore and considering its the American Civil War I doubt there's much interest in doing a GOG-like port or making a new one.

The obvious one is No Mans Sky which is apparently a lot better than it was at release, although I still don't know if it's any good.

An old one, but in my mind still one of the best exploration games ever is Noctis - it somehow looks weirdly great even though it's super low res.

Subnautica is another good one for 'studying' creatures too.
