Right, I think that only a few people would enjoy a turing-complete
(fully programmable) game. But I feel like I can get less done in one
turn of Atlantis-style time than one turn of T'Nyc-style time. And
there's no real way to have both styles in the same game without the
Atlantis-style time users being at a disadvantage.
