  I like these types of games.Just curious - what would make yours special?Games like that require very well thought out design, which gets very complicated. So there are a lot of possible ways it could go   ;  That's true. It has to be well designed.What will make this game special is the way it is played and that's unique.Just to make it clearer. The really deep games like Master of Orion and Space Empires where turn based. Any other Game that was in Realtime was stripped of all those features that Master of Orion had. Everyone feared that it wouldn't be playable if you had all those features and had to respond to threads on multiple fronts.The game overcomes those Problems and will feature everything we all loved in Master of Orion/Space Empires. And with all those things in the Game we can benefit in many ways from Realtime. Active cloaking, battle a common enemy with your Friends together on the same Battlefield, and many more.We are even planing to go beyond just 1 Galaxy.Having all this with proper Multiplayer options and full modding capability makes the game really unique. We want to build in the best and most interessting things into the game.
