Anu has been a software developer for many years and has had the fortune to serve in a variety of roles in a variety of fields.
Strategeist has been his brainchild for many years and if you get cornered by him and he begins to babble about ghosts, it's safest to back away slowly and avoid eye contact.

Alex has played a wide variety of games over the years, from the very first Spyro to the Elder Scrolls series to Castlevania and many more. By far the genre he has logged the most hours in, though, is strategy, and he was very excited to join our team in working on Strategeist. Before joining the team, Alex obtained a bachelor's degree in physics and worked as a marketing freelancer for a few small indie studios.
Alex has worked on setup and gameplay related tasks including research, spec writing, scripting, and QA as well as contributed to design and marketing.
In his free time he enjoys gaming, taking walks downtown, and playing Magic the Gathering.

Markus is a shameless perfectionist and chronic student. Not having suffered enough having completed a BSc and MSc in computer science, he moved to Reykjavik to pursue an MSc in Geology. He is also the mastermind behind EU3's Whole World mod, EU4's Realistic Map Generator, and Civ V's Tectonic map script.
On Strategeist, he has been single-handedly responsible for creating the map division and much of the initial scenario setup.
