How it feels
A tense, deliberate simulation of managing a superpower's decline through political and economic micromanagement.

What players say
Players praise the depth and alternate history possibilities but warn that the economy can suddenly collapse, mechanics are opaque even after tutorials, and the interface frustrates. Many compare it to Suzerain and note it is harder than most strategy games. A few players find the randomness unfair.
