As good would be enough. We don't need every iteration of a gaming genre to be markedly better, but I have no idea about this game.
Funny how after almost 30 years, these attempts don't come even close to the true Master. And when I say funny, I mean sad, of course.
It doesn't matter how many. No one will care when somebody gets it right, and the chance of that happening is zero if nobody tries.
As the description says, it's turn based. That makes it better than a RTS.
you probably can just get the base game version 1.0, but the gameplay will be totally different than after 2-3 expansion, it change the game mechanic into a completely brand new game, some people stick to the old version.
I'm of the opposite side of that spectrum. I prefer RTS over turn-based, but both can be fine approaches as MoO2 is a classic. Yeah, Stellaris, can become such a blackhole of missing time while having fun.
Personally i prefer the slower paced design,with active and reactive decisions and more than once or twice.
The 4x design was one that really intrigued me for some time,i enjoyed but soon i realized they all had a few simple gimmicks and once you understood it the game and strategy became much less interesting.Basically i just felt like you either were going to win or you were not,not much room for in between,like i should lose but i might be able to do something to win.
IMO MOST games including mmorpg's Arpg's whatever could all be played in automated mode,the outcome is usually known before it even starts.That was a major factor to why i loved FFXI,i could control combat even to the point i could make a safe exit if need be,i was in control and not computer code.
With this game the world looks fake,like a bunch of modules,similar to the original RTS games like Command n Conquer for example.When i play games that involve worlds,i want them to look real,i want to feel immersed within the world and why i enjoy playing Atlas,it just feels very real.
Visual gaming needs to enforce the visual aspect,otherwise it is more like a mud where you could just paste text on the screen telling me the outcomes and what is going on. In reality,4x and MOST games on the market are simply trying to remain within a budget,a low end budget and this is the best way they can deliver their game,o me it really is not good enough.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
