Neptune's Pride 2 VS Into the Breach

> You're on a ship going between destinations, but there's no light-speed shortcut, or jump-cut to the destination. Instead, you have to maintain the ship for the entire duration of the journey. Neptune's Pride [0] is a fantastic real-time strategy game that has this feature without the maintenance part. You play the game over the course of days instead of minutes or hours.

If you haven’t heard of Neptune’s Pride [0], well… Consider this fair warning! It’s an online multiplayer strategy game, like a sci-fi cross between Risk and Monopoly.

One thing that's overlooked, imo, is that the more complicated and unpredictable the AI, the less players are able to plan and strategize.
