Tortoises share a mutualistic relationship with some species of Galápagos finch and mockingbirds. Small groups of finches initiate the process by hopping on the ground in an exaggerated fashion facing the tortoise. The tortoise signals it is ready by rising up and extending its neck and legs, enabling the birds to reach otherwise inaccessible spots on the tortoise's body such as the neck, rear legs, cloacal opening, and skin between plastron and carapace. The birds benefit from the food source and the tortoises get rid of irritating ectoparasites.[91]
Some tortoises have been observed to insidiously exploit this mutualistic relationship. After rising and extending its limbs, the bird may go beneath the tortoise to investigate, whereupon suddenly the tortoise withdraws its limbs to drop flat and kill the bird. It then steps back to eat the bird, presumably to supplement its diet with protein.[92]

See, the problem is that you make it sound like the players are all wannabe grand strategists, but actually the players are casual timewasters, automation-wielding optimizers, or hackers.
If you designed the game well, then that will turn casual timewasters, automation-wielding optimizers, and hackers into wannabe grand strategists. But only then.
the second one is Saikano, which is... very sad. like, Grave of the Fireflies or Bokurano tier sad. Industrial Strength Emotional Destruction in an anime format.

I'm just not endorsing the strident "SHIT FUCK SHIT SHIT FUCK SHIT FUCK" coming out of your mouth.
Because I get to focus on the issue, instead of looking like an asshole.

"But, I could invest my money elsewhere, and possibly wreck your economy. >;D"
