I have heard the word before, but can't think of what it can be in English, besides cannot find it in any dictionary. Thanks!

\'lively\', \'fidgeting\', \'bustling\', \'teeming\' according to my PONS/Collins. Young people today thrive on \'hectic\' experiences (albeit vicarious, even virtual)

: Your later answers are fine, but I object to "hectic" in the context of a strategy game like "The Settlers". That would be more for a shoot-em-up

intricate; complex
Wuselig can mean lebhaft in the sense of lively. It can also mean complex or intricate (unübersichtlich).
I've found this {cute} definition of "wuselig", incidentally in the context of a PC game:
http://log.separate-ways.de/comments.php?id=637_0_1_0_C5
"Was ist wuselig?
Wuselig ist so eine niedlich kleine Knubbeligkeit ständig irgendwie umherrennender kleiner Männchen, die ständig irgendwas am bauen, tragen oder kämpfen sind"
I think both complex and intricate would fit well here, considering it's about a *strategy* game.
