Just for curiosity:

Was this game tested with the simultaneous battle execution system from endless legend? Or by design was it created for round by round battle system.

In any case: Is it possible to make initiative que instead of round by round?

Having initiative would balance attacking advantage of having whole first round.

It would make the battles smoother and more controllable since players could adjust the flow of it.

And it would be a breath of fresh since everyone is using round by round for simplicity.

Perfect example for me is child of light by square i believe.. i know its not 4x, and not even a strategy but maybe thers something in it?


Also could units spend initiative for moving or making attacks? this way unit that moves less would have its turn back sooner than the one who moved full length or maybe attacked.

Initiative would be very nice in a 1v1 or vs AI, but if there are 3 human opponents then battles would be a disaster. If there were battles going on for player A vs B, B vs C, and A vs C, it would take forever. You'd move one unit in one battle, then wait for your opponent. If it took them 30 seconds to notice it was their turn after each unit in an 8 unit vs 8 unit battle that's suddenly 8 minutes lost to inattentiveness. As it stands you take an entire turn of a battle then you can go do other things for a while and your opponent can take his turn in combat and if it takes him 30 seconds to realize it's his turn that's fine.

if you would be waiting for your opponent to move one unit do you think it would be that long to make you change views? And when planning whole turn you need to take into account whole round order because any mistake will be irreparable till your next round. In simultaneous mode you can adjust to any change quicker thus less time is wasted predicting multiple battle scenarios that may never occur. Besides there are timers.

And seriously have you been switching between multiple battles at the same time?
