Design risks
| R1 | Compulsion-loop pressure | 0.13 | |
| R2 | Monetization | 0.00 | |
| R3 | Social risk | 0.17 | |
The game's focus on historical colonialism and warfare, without critical context, could potentially promote a biased view of history. The competitive multiplayer aspect may expose players to mild toxicity, and the lack of natural stopping points could lead to extended play sessions.
