"Empire" Building games

You know what I'd like to see someone try to do? Make a building game with Torque, or some other 3d engine.
There are too many fps games and MMPOG...or MMOG or whatever that thing for online games is (I hate those) these days!
Why aren't there more games like Transport Tycoon and Tropico?
I'd love to see 3d version of a game like that!

It would be cool to make a building game that in order to build new stations etc. you need to either contract to work out, or have a construction arm of your company. Then you'd see cranes, dump trucks. earthmovers and other vehicles drive to the site and start building.
Also road/rail building this way would be cool too.
Sort of like the construction in the game Tropico.
