9.) Can you tell us a little bit about why you guys decided to make a turn based game? Can you tell us why you decided that turn based would make the best system for this time? Are there any features in the game that you guys definitely wanted that turn based allows?
Some of us remember the times when we met in a flat from time to time to play a mad table game. We drew maps, conquered countries, moved little figures across coordinate paper, shot in each one's back and finally ended up arguing about unclear rules. Strategies grew on our hearts.

Turn based makes it attractive enough for me.
