I like 4X. I like 40K (well, some of it). I don't really care for this so far. It also brings up a question: Where's the line between 4X and Turn-Based Strategy?

This game claims to be a 4X but has no diplomacy, no normal alt-win conditions aside from destroying all enemies, very limited exploration (you only find enemies and buildings that give resources when controlled) and very simple building mechanics. There's a research tree but most of it unlocks units and their abilities, in part due to the limited amount of features.

You end up with a game with simplistic combat barely above the level of Civilization and bare-bones other gameplay elements that compare poorly to even just a TBS like HOMM3. It's the worst of both worlds.
