Design risks

| R3 | Social risk | 0.06 | |
This game presents very low risks. It lacks modern compulsion-loop design mechanics, monetization pressures, or social risks like stranger chat or competitive toxicity. Content risks are minimal, primarily involving fantasy violence inherent to a war strategy game, without explicit gore or mature themes.
