This sounds terrifying.
Am I missing something or is that the most generic game description ever?
The grammar doesn’t inspire confidence either. I’m guessing the text was translated.
It’s a poor summary. The game looks like a pause-able real-time Civ, but not traditional RTS mechanics with Civ-like scope.
Songs of Conquest.
Announced at E3. Turn based strategy game inspired by HoMM2 and made by a Swedish developer. Due out some time next year. Gorgeous pixels and I love the E3 trailer.

Not a quality video, to say the least, but the game looks intriguing. I wish it were turn based, but still.
Steam discussions are sparse and cause for concern. But at that price, I may end up giving it a try.

I am following a Let’s Play of this and it’s really freaking creepy and nuts. I just wish it had a better name. The Yuppie bit is…a little relevant, I guess? But the Psycho part to me conjures images of Patrick Bateman and this is something really else.
You had me until late 2020… then I just blanked out.
