Vapourware Is there a base building game where you manage units and send them on missions?

Basically looking for dwarf fortress smashed together with xcom with more RPG elements

Evil Genius fits the thread title, tho it doesnt seem like what you are looking for

Maybe Frostpunk? You can send out small expedition parties outside of the main settlement. There's no combat in it though so it strikes out the X-COM side.

Kenshi might fit the bill if you squint.

Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker's outer ops system. May be in Portable Ops and/or 5, but I haven't played either of those.

This is how I imagine an "inverse shmup" would work, except 3d engines of now can't handle it. Have ideas for 2.5d variant though.

Majesty and its sequel sort of sound like the concept you describe in the thread title.

 

[Jimmious]

RimWorld is exactly what you want.

 

[Scroo]

Majesty 2 is pretty cool, you manage a town and hire adventurers to send them on quests. It gets super tough after a few missions tho

King of dragon pass

Kenshi might fit the bill if you squint.
