It's real-time with pause really* so whenever anything happens you can just pause and sort things out if you want. But once you get good, playing unpaused on a low speed is an interesting way of adding challenge. It's certainly not a game that requires twitch or anything though. Also your reductionism is pretty weird and I'm not sure if you want to play more than one game in any given genre?

*Technically speaking it is actually turn-based but the turns are very quick and progress automatically, but the distinction is one only a sperg would care about.

And yes the forums were Svenska because Paradox were the ones who bought Slutlig Fantasi
