Can someone explain to me the appeal of garbage city building games?

Why is shit like Civilzations, Humanity, Old World, Manor Lords, etc. popular?

It's so boring. It's complex, it's just menu after menu, it's just watching numbers go up as you wait 30 minutes for a fictional character to carry log to base.

At least games like Warcraft 3 have a story and you build the outpost to survive and defeat the enemy. These games goals are not around any story or anything like that, but about just watching shit you don't even understand happen.

It's boring.

    Give SMAC a try. It is cheap on Steam.
    But basically, you tell your own story.

    jesus dude use your imagination, most of the time on these games you're either using your skill or knowledge to win from your own playstyle, specially on Civ games. If you're too much of a brainlet to be scared of menus then go play subway surfers or something

          Well you see when the wiener rubs against your prostate it sends electric waves of pleasure through your body, there's a reason men have the G spot in their ass.

          It's very pleasurable to have your manhole licked, fricked, fingered, fisted. Makes your wiener reallly hard and oozes lots of cum too.

          Plus, outside of the physical feeling, the mental feeling of having a man you love inside you, loving you, taking you, making him his and marking you with his cum is a massive turn on.

          See? That's how you explain things, not your garbage, stupid, moronic explanation of "uh city buildings are good because... THEY JUST ARE OK!?"

          But i'm not surprised people who like those boring games are heterosexuals, since you hets will never enjoy sex, or know love, or pleasure.

            We don't have a g-spot in the anus or at all. What we have is the prostate which is responsible for semen ejaculation and it can be stimulated through your anus.

              All straight men should try being fricked in the ass. I guarantee you you will never want to be straight again. Being straight is a choice you make. And you're choosing to stay miserable.

    They're grand strategies. As the name suggests, it's fun to put in place a strategy and make it work. It's fun building an army and strategically defeating your opponents. Do you think Patton liked war because he was actually on the front lines killing Germans? No, he was in the back watching his armies do it for him.

    When I was younger I liked SimCity 4, because it felt like an actual game with great music and things to mess with. Cities Skylines wasn't the same thing because of its fricked-up scale, borked mechanics, and lack of features.

    I just wanted a city that both kind of resembled my hometown with the cool parts of the cities I visited on road trips.

    It's literally just different tastes, moron. It's something no one can explain to you. You either like a certain style of music, game, movie etc. or you don't. No one gives a shit enough to change your mind even if they could.

    Because we're able to look past the abstractions and enjoy the interaction potential afforded by the game.
