This is ambitious enough, but it seems like being able to go back and undo anything you did wrong eliminates the need for strategy in the first place. I know there is limited chrono energy and all, but still, it would just turn into a scapegoat.

Players would be like "Oh crap, I needed more units to win that fight! Wait a second! I can just go back and build them in the future!" Maybe I'm the only one, but it seems to me that this is just an RTS where you would fight several different battles at once.

"Chris used a neat strategy against me in a memorable free-for-all game between him, Konrad, and myself. I launched a massive surprise attack on Chris's mining base, so he traveled back in time, prepared a large fleet to counter my attack and succeeded. However, in the present I acquired nukes and sent a nuke back to the end of the battle that destroyed his remaining fleet.
Before it was over, he jumped back further in time, moved his mining base and undid his counter attack. Since his fleet had left the area and my army had conquered it, my nuclear blast from the future decimated my own forces! Right at that time, Konrad came at me with his forces, so I didn't have time to undo my nuclear blast."

Time travelling strategy~

Really Spooky it takes the strategy out of it? I think it gives more to think about.. Really, you put your units to attack, the guys goes back in time and destroys your factorys, no units in the future, bye bye...

I really enjoy the concept in this game, its really cool, its like controlling lots of different cenarios.
