Hello Soren, OTC looks great!

Question: Many users fear competitive multiplayer games. The assumption is you have to pour hundreds of hours to really "get" the game and many people do not want that. And usually RTS campaigns is regarded as glorified tutorial. What do you do to prevent people from thinking that? How would you sell the game to people who do not want to commit to game too much?

You've designed both huge, familiar to everyone larger-than-life game and experimental unorthox genre-bending cheap in comparison game. What were the core differences in the process of designing so different games?

And how does it feel making another strategy game after you've already done the one many claim to be the best PC game ever?

Oh please. Those generated voices are so charming.

You've mentioned Rise of Nations on a several occasions, e.g. it's the other strategy game with replayable SP campaign apart from OTC. Thoughts on Rise of Nations? Has it influenced your design in other ways?
