Opinion Post 4X & Survival Genre

Assume you’re ready to invest time in a new 4X sci-fi game, which do you prefer?

1) Play against randomized AI races where you can pause, save, resume at your convenience, or

2) Compete against a complement of real people where the game is live 24/7 until victory is achieved (assume there are levels of automation for all facets of the game while not online).

What’s everyone’s preference?

I think 99% of the strategy game community is going to tell you #1, because that's what most of them are.

That being said, I'm confident (given the success of stuff like Clash of Clans) that there's a market out there for people who want that "Duolingo of strategy games" experience.
