I picked this game up during the summer of 2023, I've had it in my library for years before that, but never decided to get into playing it until then.

Even though I only played it at the time for about 1-2 months, I racked up around 250 hours in the game, playing it consecutively for up to 10 hours a day for weeks on end. It's very addicting when you first get a grasp on its many nuanced and sometimes a little over the top complexity. Definitely makes the cut one of the best grand strategy games of all time.
