Micromanagement in games, Yay or Nay

Too many keys to press... CK2 for the win (Yeah what you do here is... Mark all your dudes, and then make them go to the same place and merge them together, congratulations you got just one big pile of dudes now, no need for micromanagment!!!). I was really bad at microing, although I did manage to play Meepo pretty decently when I played dota 2, but that was some time ago!

Inventory micromanagement due to overstocking resources? I love organizing stuff, so yay! Unless I have a weight limit. That sucks.

Depends on the genre. If its RTS, than I prefer micro over macro management. Everywhere else...meh.

Thats why i dont play Games like Starcraft2 or else, because i cannot micro manage anything. :D

ofc yes, I liek it when I micro a lot especially on Coh or Dota 2. Although I only like microing if there's quick hotkey switch for every unit

Kind of a broad question, don't you think?
I saw a proof of concept of a shooter where you have to perform a lot of realistic actions (and button presses) to reload and shoot a gun. I think that would get really tiring, really soon. On a RTS? Of course you need micro, how would you tell two players apart without it?

Depends. Jagged Alliance: BiA gets kinda tedious at times but it is also satisfying to know that all the little tinkering pays off as a successful mission.

Micromanagement is OK as an option (i.e. you can leave most aspects to a decent AI, unless you decide to take a particular area/scenario/planet/whatever into your own hands for some time).

It isn't as a "must do because the AI is non existant or it sucks at doing its own job".

When it's done right yes.
When it's done poorly or is some tacky add-on for a game which clearly doesn't need it. No.

Meepo the Geomancer!

Not really a fan myself but then again I'm not a strategy fan and I think strategy games are where this would shine. If it was like a FPS I feel it would be a way to artificially make the game longer.

Warcraft 3 was kinda stupid, units had too many abilities and heroes didn't help either.
Starcraft 2 is more simple and I can't think of a better micro management game than SC2.

I like to take every single thing I can, which is why I love Pokemon because you have no maximum for stuff, so pick up every Pokeball you find!

If you can turn on/off auto-micromanaging, while doing it yourself maximizes efficiency, I say YES.

And also some games are just all about micromanaging, like SC2. Those are fine.

I don't like a lot of micromanagement.

Especially problematic are those times when the micromanagement is just busywork. That is, there are a lot of cases where I've come upon some simple algorithm that does what I want, but I still have to go through it manually each time. In those cases, I'd rather be able to describe what I want to happen and have it done automatically.

I don't like Micromanagement in games.

Think it depends on the game. Hearts of Iron III for example is crazy levels of micromanagement, but leaving everything to the AI means saying "Hey, stop doing that!" far too often. Never played as the Soviet Union though, so perhaps with larger countries it's unavoidable. Oh well.
