Design risks

| R3 | Social risk | 0.11 | |
The game's focus on military conquest and limited social interaction means it offers minimal social-emotional benefits. While it lacks direct compulsion-loop design or monetization risks, its historical narrative could be interpreted as propagandistic due to its Eurocentric focus on empire-building. The depiction of violence, though not graphic, is central to the gameplay.
