- Same simultaneous turn based model as Stars!


As far as I understand the game description this seems to be a misunderstanding.

From the game website:
"Cosmic Supremacy is a FREE tick/turn-based massively multiplayer space strategy game"

Tick-based and turn-based are fundamentally different from each other. Turn-based means that we, the players, agree on a turn schedule and might even say that we all take a break at some holidays. Nothing happens until you have made your turn's orders, uploaded them and the next turn will generated.

Tick-based means there are constantly ticks (probably every hour, even faster schedules seem possible, though) and the game goes on even without your input.

Basically this means: the game is evil *grin
Many of us are probably old junkies who need to keep away from such games or they will get into problems with the powers that be (wife, girl-friend, job, RL in general).
