-**Terratomic.io** is a real-time strategy game focused on territorial conquest, alliance-building, and resource management.  
 It is a fork of [OpenFront.io](https://github.com/openfrontio/OpenFrontIO), which itself is based on [WarFront.io](https://github.com/WarFrontIO).
 
-## 🚀 Getting Started
+## 💬 Why This Fork
+
+While OpenFront laid a strong foundation, Terratomic takes a different approach — placing community feedback and collaborative development at the core of its roadmap. 
+
+This project aims to evolve based on what players actually want, with transparent priorities and active community input shaping the game's future.
+
+This is a game built *with* its players, not just *for* them.
+
