It is an auto-battler that you can get into for 15mins or 3hrs.  I've been playing it on and off since I think 2023 (when Paradox released it).

Whatever you did in the previous round of the match you are stuck with, but you can add more units and tweak some things (there is an ability / card that lets you REDO one unit each round etc.).

Playing this game makes you realise fairly quickly exactly how many moves ahead your brain is capable of thinking!    In my particular case......it is not that many!

I'm playing Anno 1800 which I highly recommend especially think some concepts would slot into Ara. The are also working on Anno 117 now. Looks like they are making pretty big changes. We'll see how those pan out. Doing another run in Cyberpunk 2077. As well as picked up Runescape Dragonwilds. The last is a pretty new game but really enjoying it. 

I'm actually trying to fit in Distant Worlds 2 into my game time...but as you can see with my list still might be a bit.
