I recently enjoyed Thea 2 the Shattering, and although not received great reviews, I have completed the game multiple times.

I'm looking for some short and quick strategy/city builder game that is:

replayable

short, but engaging, minimum of 8 hours main campaign (so nothing that will be too quick)

nice visuals like Thea 2

without shooting and other manly things (I don't like Mutant Year Zero because of that)

without card decks (especially without copy pasting Slay the Spire formula)

featuring magic or mythology is plus

featuring full singleplayer mode is a must

I have enjoyed Thea 2 and Zeus + Poseidon Acropolis, but if you manage to find game that's not city builder/civilization builder, and fits above criteria, that would be also fine

Games I didn't enjoyed are CIV V, Dungeons games
Armello sounds like my thing and truly is, but multiplayer! no.

Since you mentioned Zeus & Poseidon, what about the other games in that "series," which are sold here?

(newest to oldest = Emperor Middle Kingdom, Pharaoh & Cleopatra, Caesar series)

Cultures series is not a short game,but maybe you should try it? Kinda like those city builders. Has campaings but the single player maps also aren't bad.

Or also spellforce series? That one has strategy and rpg elements together is fantasy,magic but it's gameplay time could get into 60 hours just for the main game and with side missions could bring you up to 107 hours. Has like 3 campaings the spellforce platinum game. It's part of build strategy and some roleplaying and RTS.

I myself only beaten spellforce 2 without add-ons by now and still have to beat all of spellforce platinum. Really loved spellforce 2

Those that played newer games, how many boxed Archeo Shinar tick?

try Warlock Master of Arcane

Do you actually play games or just make threads about info on games for a survey?

Yes, I played them, but I amassed quite a big collection of games and feel burned out. I finished some, mostly shorter games, but way too little based on my library.

I personally played and enjoyed Circle Empires. Other than that, Into the Breach and Tooth and Tail are probably good choices.

I personally have loved Civ 3 (way better than Civ 5) but it is nowhere close to "short."

I recently enjoyed the first scenario of HoMM 2 in about 1-2 hours.
