Not me, I am a micro-managing control freak when its come to strategy games.
Have you met The Deity?
What surprises me is while these people are feverishly micro managing, I still do okay. Its only with the very top tier of players that you can't just coast.

I'm so lazy that I have only once or twice ever actually completed a normal game. I always get bored somewhere between the medieval and industrial eras.
The way that I play this game is very fast. I play on mostly instinct, although I have begun to use some planning on my trade. I write down on paper all the larger cities abroad that are in demand of something. I then use this to decide what I will send there, or if I will make a caravan in that city. Other than that it's one hand on the number pad, one on the remote flipping between Big Ten basketball and The Simpsons. And yes, many times I will quit a game before then end because I am bored.
