[edit] Simultaneous Turns
It should be noted that Simultaneous Turns only works until the first conflict. Because of the definition of a conflict(below), it is possible for simultaneous turns to end literally on the first turn of the game.
As the manual states :
A "conflict" is a situation where players can affect each other. Since the game is essentially turn-based, any encounter between two or more players can cause a game mechanics failure. Conflict probability is estimated at the beginning of each turn. If conflict is possible, the game is permanently switched to the basic turn-based mode. All players receive a message confirming this.
