@elf_strategist full meta

@Alfray_Stryke @MatRopert to be fair my first thought was "I remember some wierd python based heightmap ray tracer for the hoi3 map"

@jimmyakathek funny enough you are so far closest out of the guesses I think ;D

@OliverBWS skillz

@brodiegames imo if you score high enough across these 3 you are a GSG rather than other strategy 1. Many many simulated independent entities (20-30+ npc:s or i guess could be human) 2. many heavily interconnected simulated loops and systems 3. little abstracted boardgame like actions

@brodiegames I dont think you need to run a nation for example. I think you can make a gsg at many scales as long as there is enough independent actors and strategy. Dune Spice Wars could be a gsg if it had another 20 or so factions for example

@snidestep None of them. Burned out on franchise thinking. Give me some original new stories.

@brodiegames Old world I think slides a little towards GSG from the Civ formula, but is still rooted in boardgame mechanics > simulation so its not a gsg to me. Games like Mount & Blade and Starsector I would argue are very close to GSG

@sukebandeka it definitly is
