Maybe you could explain us the reasoning behind this statement? Just dropping it as if it were an axiom won't make anyone agree with you...

Thanks for dropping by!
Don't worry about the "controversy", we GOGers love to argue about almost anything :)

Because it is. Words mean things. These concepts are, basically, opposites and it's cognitively impossible for something to be both. The developer's explanation makes sense: They designed the game to have turns with fewer activities/decision points and less cognitive load; each turn is smaller. (And I'm glad there's no turn timer, etc.) That doesn't make it "fast-paced". There's no "adrenaline" ("blood-pumping", "push/drive", "anxiety/threat", etc). And I say all this as a lover of turn-based games.
Indeed, thanks for stopping in! (And yes, we do.)

Same :)
I get your point, and probably not applicable on this particular game but many games are turn based and designed to have a turn clock, basically anything that involves multiplayer. A good exemple is Worms Armaggedon or World Party (don't know about newer stuff), they are as much turn based as any other game and the clock doesn't make them real time. Of course if one feel the standard 45s is too small, then the game have other options.

Not even mention turn based multiplayer games over the internet, that's a whole new can of worms(no pun intended).

>Vorlon jukebox noises< Yes.

In all seriousness, it's not really a fair question since Sheridan obviously had so much more screen time, and in the overall stronger seasons. So I think I do like him better, but I also wish we got to see more of Sinclair. Still, I think the way things turned out, the way what was meant to be Sinclair's got split into two, was actually lucky for us, the audience. I think it's one of the rare cases where we really got the best of both worlds. Of course it's a pity the reason we got it was Michael O'Hare's mental health issues.

If you haven't read it, there's a canon novel To Dream in the City of Sorrows, which tells of what happened tp Sinclair between seasons 1 and 3 of the show. Good stuff, at least as far as such tie-in novels go.

Anyway, I'm always happy to meet a fellow B5 fan. I finished re-watching the show just about a month ago myself. A few episodes of Crusade left now, and I'll finally be ready to watch that animated movie from last year for the first time :)

interesting idea and i like the music, grabbed it thanks Gog

Had this game on my wishlist. Didn't even know it would be released today.

Hi, just wanted to say, that I'm really happy to hear about it - I'm one of those "weirdos" who thinks that hot-seat is a great addition to any turn-based strategy/tactic game*, but at the same time - it's much, much easier to convince someone to play if game is not overly complicated and one session doesn't take multiple hours to complete. Of course it would be great to have both multiplayer via internet/lan and hot-seat, but I can understand that network coding is a tough and time-consuming stuff to prepare.

And three cheers for great price - convinced me to buy it, at the moment I'm still playing campaigns (to get more familiar with the game), but so far experience is great.

*Basically fits the similar role to board games - playing something together, and one great thing about PC game is, that you don't need to prepare board, read and memorize rules etc, plus you have animations, music etc - overall, really great experience. Not to mention that it's always a great attraction to play against other human mind instead of AI.

This is how I played the Talisman card game a few years back, the first time was actually while camping, just passing the device around. We called it hot-tablet mode.

In that case there is also no such thing as a real turn-based game since in every TB game if you take too long you will automatacally lose, or at least stalemate, the moment when you, in your real life, die. Saying 30 seconds, or 5-minute or 2-hour turns makes a game real-time surely also means that extending the time further out to 10 years, or 50 years or however much time we may have of our life left ALSO makes it real-time.

By your definition, until we can live forever and have infinite time limit for each turn there will never be a true turn-based game.
