if you claim to have fun at anything higher than say 9.0/9.3 when guided bombs become standard, then you're either lying or straight up mentally ill

help me guys, I play TW3 but it always feels like the game pace is too quick.
I want to play methodical, strategically taking towns and provinces, fortifying, building buildings, gathering strength then going again. but for every faction I try there's a new mission every turn, or some new fucker declares war on me and I'm permanently over-stretched and unable to build up and it feels like all I do is firefight.
currently doing Masters of Innovation and it's constant wars, no time or ability to turtle and build cool armies to go campaigning etc.
also so many factions disappear so quickly that within a few dozen turns it's just large blobs that aren't as satisfying to fight.
I wish there was something like a Game Pace selection like Civ has.
