I joined Visual Utopia in search of a new, interactive strategy game that I could play daily but at my own speed. VU ended up being exactly what I was looking for, a tick-based game where you could build cities in any strategic location and move your armies to wage war on any open ground. With multiple races with their own unique benefits, and an arsenal of sciences and magics, warfare in VU has turned out to be quite the entertaining challenge. I have loved the game since I joined, and plan on playing for many eras to come.
