Questions?

Why turn-based?

There are many kinds of turn-based games — large-scale grand strategy and precise small-scale tactics; fast-paced pause-only-when-you-need-to and relaxing watch-and-savor; old school classics and clever new concepts. What unites them all is a playerbase that enjoys games where you can take your time when you want to, that loves the payoff of careful choices and a clever plan, that want victories based on smarts, not speed.

I have another question not answered here.
