Vietnam’s internet infrastructure in big cities is quite impressive too. If paid in advance for an year, you could get 100 Mbps up/down for ~$11/month. There are several ISPs competing with each other so the speed goes up, the price goes down every few years. High speed fiber internet is commonplace. Higher speed is available too.
The only downside is that some websites are blocked, or slowed down at some points.
Try Stellaris, it is also a grand strategy game about empire building and diplomacy and wars... etc but I love the part that it is all real time, no turn base. And even better: I can pause the game and make a lot of commands, then unpause to see it runs. And able to increase or decrease the game speed.
And this game is on sale on steam very often. It was free last week though.
