I get nervous whenever a big battle or something else big is about to happen, and save + quit the game to play it later. I play my strategy video games only in short bursts.
One time I spent an entire day playing HOI4 Germany and felt physically exhausted by the end and actually ended up getting a fever somehow. One of the weirdest things that ever happened to me

it's not that it was challenging, it was that I played like literally all day and for so long idk what happened to me. Like I went way after end date. I was playing from like 12 pm to 9 pm or something
I have this thing that playing a campaign, after the level I keep thinking about what I could have done better, but at the same time I don't want to replay the level because it took so long and I want to continue.
And I am wide awake and can't sleep because I keep thinking of that stuff.
That's a big reason why I don't play strategy games often, because I keep thinking about them 24/7.

love the audio on that game very atnospheric but my favotite campaign on total war is the total war vikings expansion, lovely background audio too
It took be 27 years with bit pauses to complete all the versions and campaigns for warzone 2100 from the PS1 version through to the PC one.

Ktim is me. I work constantly and when I am off I don't usually like to play because the time will fly in and before I know it I'll need to go back to work

NTA but all the micromanagment in HoI4 is really tiresome
haven't touched the game since they introduced Military Designers, gave it a couple of tries and it's just such a chore
hoi3 - the game which originally was labeld as being "micro intensitive" unironically has much less of it, especially as a minor nation
