Having a genre where my city or empire is the main character, the main sources of challenge come from the growing pains of a larger settlement and dealing with external forces of nature rather than AI "players" participating in a competitively balanced board game that can't actually play the game well so difficulty comes from giving them free stuff.

#Frostpunk remains one of my favorites, where struggling against the death spiral remains very engaging. #NewCycle is quite fun too.

@andycarolan I'm enjoying great success with Whisky, on a pretty high-end Mac. (It's a Wine wrapper, similar to others like Crossover, which also enjoys a pretty good rep.)

I just created a Whisky 'bottle', installed Steam in it, and then started installing games - far from 100% success, but a lot better results than I was expecting. #PerAspera #EvilGenius2 #NewCycle #TeamFortress2 #HardSpaceShipBreaker #SteamWorldBuild #Oddsparks all worked.
