Very good comments in the last post. I think even the most casual observer would agree that this is not a one size fits all entertainment media. The fact that this outstanding digital format allows the best of both methods opens a very real marketing opportunity for any company that chooses to incorporate both methods as a standard of excellence consumers can count on in all releases.

This is what I am saying...first and foremost I am total strategy..ever since Carrier Force and Carriers at war for the C-64..so don't talk to me about turn-based strategy because I have been there and done that for many years and I still long for it.First off you can have real-time turn based!!! I HATE stright real-time tactics games.The game Star Trek the next generation:birth of the federation is an excellent example..and it combines-olonization,conquest,R and D,Diplomacy,combat you name it and it is turn-based....I have many freinds that would love to play real time so you can chat to each other and witness things as they unfold...not this vanilla PBEM crap <img src="smile.gif" border="0">
It reminds me of the late 80's
and trust me without internet..sure some ppl will play but you will be missing the boat on a ton of money to be made.I will probably play it either way but I wish it had internet,I mean we are not in the trs-80 days anymore,everyone here needs to realize that and understand If you are designing a game to make some good revenue and do well It has to have internet play,I am looking at the big picture here not just the 5 ppl who respond.....You can't possible think the game will do as good as if it had internet support (if you do please don't insult me or the board with your intelligence level)....
This is not directed at anyone in specific and especially not matrix,I am just trying to make a point here!!!
this is not a flame..I am just ranting a bit,so I am sorry..
You can play fast even with email. Ive often done that with spwaw, 15min turns plus 1min for emailing the thingie. Voil@!
