last night, the boys were playing heroes of might and magic 2 (voted 6th best pc game of all time in 1997) and - when confronted with situation requiring a much, much larger army - jokingly suggested that in 40 turns from now, i’d just send a massive army back in time: problem solved.

then i thought: “what if you could actually *do* that in a game?”

there could be a couple of ways of doing this:

1) learning some kind of ultimate spell or building a wonder that would typically simply win you the game, only now its a gateway to a previous turn where you can wipe your enemies of the face of the board just for the hell of it.

2) you start to play multiple timelines out at once. you could have some kind of graph explaining things similar to the one doc draws up in back to the future (2?).
