You’re getting your head bitten off for that comparison :), but I understand what you mean, because you can sit back and watch the game occupy itself, and if you want to wait for game state to become favorable before you resume taking action (waiting for territory to change hands, for example), you can sometimes do that. There’s a term for Paradox’ grand strategy games I like, “data surfing,” that describes what it can be like to mostly passively experience its simulations. Most idlers or clickers progress along straightforward exponential curves, but they could absolutely be designed similarly.
