Pure 4X turn-based.

Awesome thanks!

Founder Elite I am!

Glad to hear this - I jumped in on the elite package assuming this would be the case, but got a little worried when I real a few posts speculating about the possibility of real time segments in the game.

I'm a turn based guy, all the way - hope they keep it that way!

Turn based all the way.  Real time works in some situations (Sins of a Solar Empire) but a lot of the time it just degenerates into a turn based game anyway (I'm looking at you, Star Drive).  Besides: the point of the game isn't to be quick and tactical, the point of the game is to have a better strategy.

Well, Turn based kill this game for me.,  Im not investing in some shit turn based game like the early 90's.  Bring on Sins II 64x please.

Dark- you ever played Dom4 or there are 4Xs that have tactical combat. I'm sure they aint doing just watch the fight battles again. Wait for more info captain. 

PLEASE FOR MP

a client-Server version, while the human Players are doing their turn, the AI should also work on his ...

NOT LIKE IT IS IN CIV V ,,, at the end quarter of the game, we are waiting more for AI than we Play ... that is worse gamedesign !

MP has already been announced.
And well done Brad for keeping this 4x TBS!!!!!!!

ok ok :       "Amen"

 .....to  BOTH!   

turned based "empire building" - real time planetary battles and fleet battles, would be Godly.
