Really enjoying the game so far. Have completed 3 games.

First thing to to be aware of is that this game is much more a real time 4X game, than it is an RTS with 4X elements. If you are expecting a high APM game with large armies and complex combat mechanics, this is not that game.

This a game that is fought with diplomacy, economy, logistics and espionage just as much as it is with military and as such, taken independently, all these elements are somewhat simplified; however when all interacted with in conjunction, in real time, the result is a game that I find extremely engaging, without becoming overwhelming or exhausting. I will find myself sitting down with a drink and by the time I've finished an entire 3 hour game, I realise I didn't touch it, because I was so engrossed with the game.

Very interested to see how it develops!
