VideoGames
* CrusaderKings 2
** Similarly to adventurers, viking invaders can state a conquest goal. Afterwards, soldiers and viking heros will join their cause over the next two years. They can attack at any time they want, but since their main targets are powerful christian and muslim kingdoms, they should better wait the full two years.
** The army size of normads is dependant on their clans population, which in turn is depending on the size of their territory. So a clan that just conquered a large kingdom will have to wait a couple of years so their population can grow so they can make use of their new land.
** In some way this aplies to all conquests in the game. Getting a full duchy through a holy war is nice, but it will be utterly useless for the first few years, as the peasants will simply refuse to pay taxes or train as soldiers.
* In {{Patapon}} your patapons will need some good rythems to dance themself into a frenzy, the amount of which depends on how on point they are. But once they are in fever they get much higher attack, reach, and/or other usefull abilities depending on the class and on the dance.
* Vehicles in most [[DrivingGame Driving Games]], just like in RealLife, require some time of acceleration to reach their top speed.
* StardewValley
** Plants that grow multiple crops without the need to replant them are this. Like every plant they need to grow to their full size first. But then they regrow their crops every couple of days, until they die at the end of their season (unless planted in a greenhouse, which makes them regrow forever, or if they are fruit trees that only become inactive out of season).
** Fruit trees produce crops with increasing quality the older the tree is. Bringing one up to iridium quality requires ''three'' in-game years.
** When a new animal is born, or bought from Marnie, it first needs to grow up befor it can produce its goods.

RealLife
* Cars and other vehicles require a constant feed of power over a period of time that exceeds the amount needed to hold the curent speed in order to reach their top speed. [[CaptainObvious This process is called acceleration.]]

I somehow don't like the way RTS games are sorted in the example section. Examples that don't fall under the "build certain stuff to unlock other stuff" example should get their own entries (like Starcrafts Void Rays, CK2 and Grey Goos Lancers).
