Developer kristoph is building a game concept from a forgotten sci-fi novel: a grand strategy game akin to Civilization and Crusader Kings, played over weeks, months, or even years, where time moves slowly and independently of player actions, and AI advisors make decisions while you're AFK. Free smaller games start with 100 players; grand games support 1,000+. Prize-pool games at $10–$1,000 entry could reach $1M pools. He shared a screenshot of the empty map (temporarily using CIV6 assets) and is soliciting feedback.
