Few people understand strategy game design and development like Soren Johnson. After starting in the industry as a programmer on Civilization 3 at Firaxis, Soren went on to lead the design of Civilization 4. Later he went on to EA Maxis to work on Spore, and Zynga East to develop a free-to -play strategy game of his own design. Most recently Soren founded Mohawk Games – A small studio composed of industry veterans. Mohawk just recently released their first title, Offworld Trading Company, on Steam Early Access. In this interview Soren and I discuss strategy game design, Soren's varied career, and more.
