• Most players online: The review of 2018-01-26 says up to four players can fight computer opponents in a skirmish. No maker page states this, so only the 2-player campaign cap is used.
• Kind of game: The review describes a turn-based campaign that two players plan together, and says the battles show the game's tabletop roots.

• Calm and coziness: The review mentions waiting for the computer to finish its turns, which leaves quiet stretches between battles.
