Dev builds slow-burn AI strategy game: 1000+ players per match, AI advisors run it while you're afk

kristoph · x · 2026-10-12

Developer kristoph is realizing a grand strategy game described in a sci-fi book: matches span weeks to years, with time advancing independently of player actions, akin to Civilization and Crusader Kings. When you're afk, AI advisors make decisions for you. Smaller games are free with 100 players; grand games can host 1000+. A fresh screenshot shows the still-empty game world, currently using CIV6 assets as placeholders to be replaced later.
