Coming back after more than a year is stressful

[NeroTheAngel]

Was the game always so stressful? I feel like there are way more events than before. (I only play basegame) I cant go for like 5 seconds without an event popping up. Its really stressful.

I havent played for over a year but if I remember correct a year ago the game was much more "calm" and more relaxing to play.

Seems to me the game has always tried to "fill the space" with random events when nothing happens. I don't get a month with less than 5-10 pausing popups very often but it's always been like that as far as I can tell.

I wouldn't say it's stressfull tho. The opposite would get boring fast I think.

There are a lot of events that are much less significant than what they appear to be, maybe you're just overestimating the consequences and being stressed by the feeling of making important choices constantly?

No I am stressed because the game pauses every few seconds, it breaks the flow when I for example fight in a war.

Whats with the ambushes? Start into a new game and immediately get attacked by raiders and bandits. No matter where I start. Dont remember this was a thing.
