...from the developer of Qvadriga and Slitherine. Saw the following in this week's RPS Flarepath (https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2016/10/28/the-flare-path-unstitched/7/)...

...Turnopia are currently neck-deep in ancient history again.
Here's everything I know about Project #3 at present:
It's a naval game.
It's inspired by Ben-Hur.
It's being made with the assistance of that genre-bestriding colossus, Slitherine Ltd.
'Genre-bestriding colossus'...I wish I wrote that 😎
It could have potential if done right.
My only question is, why not "inspired by ancient naval history"?
I am a bit leery of it being inspired by a movie.
If it is done right it would be a first day purchase for me.
I rather suspect this game is not Steam and Iron transported to antiquity.
I suspect the game will feature a lot of flaming pots of gasoline.

If that was auto-correct, it's genius.
Well, Qvadriga was inspired by Ben-Hur, so that seems fair. O0

Missed an extra degree of separation, in that case. C:-)
Ben Hur RPG is next.
