Tin Soldiers: Alexander the Great Legendary
Warrior Gets Miniaturized in "Tin Soldiers: Alexander the Great" is a
Q&A with Kevin Albright and Russ Pearlman of Koios Works about their
miniatures-based war game: "In most turn-based games, players alternate
moving their units or pieces – either by moving one piece at a time (like
Chess) or all of their pieces at a time (like Civilization or Risk). Our
system allows players to complete their planning at the same time and then
executing the moves in real time. This has the advantage of allowing the
player to take their time in thinking and planning their move, but it allows
for the excitement and unpredictability of real-time strategy games.
However, unlike most RTS games where the player who is able to click the
fastest wins, Tin Soldiers: Alexander the Great rewards the best tactician."
