Rimworld and Mount and Blade are giant time wasters.
Stellaris takes for ever as well, but its kinda bad.
I guess I should've mentioned, no paraslop.
Might as well play cookie clicker.
Hegemony 3 was the biggest time sink for me this year, the game simply takes forever. Easily 30h to finish an campaign and 60 to paint the map.
You could try some building games like Soviet Republic, but those mostly come down to your PCs capabilities in the end. It's just a lag fest after a certain point.
Seconding these, huge time wasters. Besides that I would add DF and Kenshi, both very unique games
I played the latter, but it was really boring for me, the world just felt dead.
the textbook emotionally dishonest game for that reason
this anon fricks
this anon is a redditor. Kenshi is the quintessential midwit game.
rimworld, i agree
I wish there was a game like that but more open ended and where you can have large cities and maybe even planets.
Try Songs of Styx
Anyone have good alt ending mod? I've finished the og and royalty one and tried yayo endgame and misc endgame but seems boring and very busywork.
Is Anno railroaded or do you have some freedom on what you do?
it could be considered bloated to the point there is too much to do. with all the DLC it can become overwhelming. this is of course considering you like these kinds of economic/building games to begin with. there is not much to be had for combat.
Sounds good then, combat always sucks in those type of games anyway.
Any essentials mods?
no, the base game (+DLC) is more than enough.
i honestly question if any of the devs actually tried to play the game in all the regions simultaneously, like AI does
Depends on what you mean by 'railroaded'. Anno 1800's sandbox is dependent on a gameplay loop of "pop tier wants a specific set of goods, fulfill those goods, ascend to new pop tier, new goods require more maintenance costs to produce, fulfill luxury good demand for money, fulfill new pop tier's good requirements". So farmers want fish and clothing to promote them to workers. They do not want potatoes, potatoes are for turning into alcohol for money. You can go about fulfilling those good demands however you like, but the goods demanded are VERY specific. I personally am getting a little tired of the formula, but I've already dumped hundreds of hours into it so maybe it'll be fresh for you.
Also as the other anon said, Anno 1800 is bloated to hell after all its DLC's. More plates to keep spinning than is sensible.
Bro, Wargame, especially EA in single player is meh at best, due to braindead AI who's only tactics is inifinte spam of units using it's inifinte pool of points
those are just my top 5 strategy games on steam. i only played the EE campaign (which was good). never played ALB single player. 90% of my time in those games is multiplayer.
wargame red dragon's campaigns are still fun because they designed them to be fun even with the moronic AI
it's all about replaying them to beat them in the shortest number of turns and use unconventional strats to encircle / destroy units on the strategic layer
busan pocket, bear vs dragon, pearl of the orient, and second korean war are all really fun campaigns
you've barely played these games.
1000+ hours minimum is the way
>last played 10 years ago
>plays vidya for 1 hour a week
Your opinion is fricking worthless
Capitalism lab.
Any given MMO.
>b-but strategy
Did I stutter?
Pretty sure only troons still play mmos.
>t. troony-obsessed zoomershit
If you charged a single nickel for every troon living rent free in your head, you would solve the world's problem of nickle shortage.
It's true, cope all you want.
homosexuals only play mmos for erp, and of course they're all women.
MMOs are gay cancer and indeed are full of trannies
How do you get 600 hours in Shogun?
>Single campaign takes 30 hours on average
>How did you play a game with 10 factions, each twice?
The game has three different eras, Fall of the Samurai alone feels like a whole new game.
How didn't you?
Diplomacy is not an option is a better 'they are billions-like'
battle brothers frick yes
>Eve Online
>Last Played: 2020
I'm glad you're winning Eve too, friend.
Battle Brothers was the one for me, but a lot of people get filtered by it.
Last playtime was only so long ago because I work full time and have a newborn, I fully intend to pick it back up again.
This one
asiatic Nu-COM with grind and a huge number of viable memebuilds.

My top played games are Sword of the Stars (it took 40 hours just to comfortably grasp the basics, a lot of the time being spent browsing the wikia tho), and AoEIII:DE (mostly trying to git gud at playing the Chinese in skirmish for months).
was the time investment on SotS worth it? Is it still challenging and fun once you understand how to play?
yeah it kinda is since every single faction is so radically different
also i just never got how to play zuul too much shit ticking down and giving me anxiety
No, because all the official resources got taken off the web, including the forum that hosted all the mods.
"They are billions" on 800% difficulty. Worth a run, good podcast game.
Bought it 2 years ago.
It's fun with all the DLC and mods.
DLCs can be bought for a friction of price trough key selling sites or just pirate it.
>paying for paraisraelite games
no

Rimworld for singleplayer, Dominions 5 for multiplayer
Factorio is a more effective time machine than overdosing on xanax, if that's what you're looking for
Yup, but you need the recommended autism specs if you want the playtime in the 1000s.
Dwarf Fortress is the OG management game, and a less autistic version just came out on steam (Collab between the creators and some of the better tileset creators).
Ofc the purists will hate, and you have to pay for it, but I find it cool.
>some of the better tileset creators
it still doesnt have an alternative, less homosexual cartoonish, tileset, and the prospects that it ever will are iffy, given the contents of the current playerbase and the overall numbers.
sim city
Play darkest dungeon blind… no wikis, etc. Include crimson court and color of madness dlcs.
Get all caretaker goals.
Will take 100+ hours. And it’s good.
NAM is the only real mod you need to get started.
Your sims are moronic at path finding, and the NAM will fix traffic issues (as much as they can be fixed).
If you have windows 11 you might need to do some trouble shooting to get it to work.

TOAW IV. Make any scenario of a war, fictional or otherwise. It’s realistic. Turn based operational wargaming. This is the game where things either take 2 years to do or 5 minutes. UI is good for a grognard game. I'm taking a break, because I burnt myself out at like 1500 hours. Cheaper than most boardgames, and teaches you a lot about military operations. Scenarios are good, AI is what you program it with.
Best game of TOAW I played was an Afghan invasion 2001 scenario. Very cool, I learned that the Marines were pretty much irrelevant in that war, as most of the fighting occurred in their big New York type city between the coalition invasion and the enemy. I want to make a follow up scenario detailing the occupation, but I cannot into military research, it’s sad.
Does it actually teach you about operations? It's got operational in the name, but every hexshit like this that I've seen has always been abstracted too much to where you're just playing the game's system instead of truly simulating anything. Strategic Command WWII comes to mind.
you are not a general

wargame red dragon's campaigns probably could be like 50-60 hours if you don't know what you are doing and have to do a lot of restarts (assuming no MP)
Troubleshooter's around 140-160 hours for a single playthrough
eador, factorio, imperialism 2
And barely scratching the surface.
