Quantum Pathways
Recommended if you want a turn-based war that makes you choose, not a game that highlights the one correct click.
You win by destroying every ALFIE device. While you do that, AI factions can still beat you on territory, stacked resources, or a Level 3 Navigator parked at the center. A move that looks fine can lose the match because you watched the wrong race.
Harvesters pay for the army and can be stolen. The Resource Planner adds up a plan. It will not tell you whether that plan is wise. After a loss, the log and replay are there so you can see the turn it slipped.
Skip this if you want the interface to play for you. Request it if you like opportunity cost, misdirection, and a defeat you can study.
