Mine is playing AOE2 in easiest (or standard if I want a bit of challenge) mode against 3 bots. I just build my economy, wall up (and laugh at the enemy soldiers attacking my walls in vain), reach imperial age and attack once my army reaches the population limit. I also send 104 in the chat so they don’t surrender and I can enjoy razing their all buildings one by one. If any of them builds a castle, even more fun. A build a trebuchet and watch it raze the castle from a safe distance. If there is sea, after I am done with the land, I build 3 docks, do research and build a navy and hunt down ships around the unxplored sea. It is fun, satisfying and relaxing.

What is yours?

    Playing Civ V with Vox Populi née Community Balance Patch née Communitas. When I’m bored, feeling bad, feeling blue and not wanting to play anything else, this is what I always return to and what’s by far my most played game. Always single player, not a single multiplayer game in 2447 hours.

        what is nee

        née is a pretentious (and slightly incorrect) way of saying “formerly known as”

        What do those do

        Completely rebalance the AI, game play, units, everything. I can highly recommend getting it, it’s still in active development after all those years. For a slightly less balanced, but more expansive overhaul, get 3rd and 4th unique component for VP as well
