It seems it only goes by rounds, once everyone goes the next round begins, and there's no set order.
So once it got down to the last two people, my opponent's moves changed my own map. Essentially blitzing me. He was probably a lot more powerful than I. (fog of war map so idk)
But that was really weird how it seemed like a mad rush when both of us could go at the same time.
Is this just a factor of the game I'll have to get used to?
