Endless history lessons get shoved down your throat. While you're busy organizing your spreadsheet empire, piece by piece, other historical figures will try to mess things up. Negotiate with irrational AI that simply hates you for your progress. Watch hundreds of units move over the map 1 by 1, every single turn and either micro manage every tiny decision or automate and press enter every 5 minutes.
