Remember that the OG Baldur's Gate used actual distances and was quite old by that time. Any PC or laptop from the time of 4e could have easily run BG (apart from issues relating to backwards compatibility).Computers are much much better at tracking hundreds of little variables at the same time without error than humans are. Even older machines will put a human brain to shame.I really think that cubic fireballs were designed to streamline TT play, and the VTT was designed to mimic that. Heck, my group still uses cubic fireballs whenever we use a grid for our 5e games. We don't like using spell templates (they tend to get misplaced), and it makes visualizing areas quick and easy.Frankly, their heavy integration of reactions for 4e would have been a PITA for a fully automated VTT. Do players really want a pop-up (and to have to wait on that player) every time a reaction might possibly be triggered? I don't agree that 4e was designed to be optimal for VTTs, though they certainly did have the VTT on their radar.</blockquote>
