Immediately, the image of a "Soviet-era worker" and a "Western tycoon" arose.
In the first case, he "sits out" his shift at his workplace because even after doing everything quickly, clearly, and efficiently, he is forced to stay for the entire shift...
And the second one is constantly interested in doing everything to the maximum, quickly and clearly, and then going home.
In the case of the heroes, we live "turn-based," but the size of this step (turn) is that figurative shift at the factory. And Salary = victory + remaining time (for life or another game).
"Сущность войны — обман. Искусный должен изображать неумелость. При готовности атаковать демонстрируй подчинение. Когда ты близок — кажись далёким, но когда ты очень далеко — притворись, будто ты рядом."
