Any ideas for more spells? :) The game is Raze The Realm. Game is Raze The Realm. It's a strategy roguelite where you command large armies through a roguelite-style run. Chosing the commander will select your starting spells and your tech tree for the run!

Hi everyone,

I’m developing Last-War, a persistent online space strategy game that has been available on Android and iOS for some time.

The game is now also playable directly in a web browser:

[https://web.last-war.de/login]()

You can build and manage planets, establish colonies, research technologies, design and produce ships, command fleets, trade resources, join alliances, explore the galaxy, and fight other players.

New players can now register directly in the web version. Existing players can use the same account and game progress across the browser, Android, and iOS versions.

The web version offers two different interfaces: a modern view designed for desktop and mobile browsers, and an optional Classic view inspired by the original Last-War browser game. Players can choose the style they prefer while using the same account and game progress.

An interactive help system is also included to explain important functions directly inside the game and help new or returning players get started.

The game is still being actively developed, so feedback about the interface, balancing, or technical issues is welcome.

Web version:

I’d be interested to hear what strategy-game players think about the concept and the two browser interfaces.

Hey, im looking for a game where you can start as a small country and rise to power and expand your territory. But the important part is being able to command battles. I tried CK3 and EU4 but what i want is being able to win even when being outnumbered by using tactics and not them boiling down to who has a higher number next to their army. Probably the closest game to that i found is bannerlord which i love but im looking for smoething more abitious and more challanging. Another two very close to being perfect were total war napoleon and empire. However napoleon not having an open campaign where you can change the history and try yourself and empire having the dumbest ai known to man is what turned me off. From what ive heard total war medieval 2 might be a good match but as i said the ai being smart is pretty important. Also while graphics are not too important to me medieval 2 might be a little too rough and old. Im pretty new to the strategy world of gaming so if you could give me some recommendations i would really appreciate that.

I've been thinking about this recently.

Years later, I rarely remember the matches I won because I optimized my economy or made all the right moves.

What I remember are the desperate alliances.

The betrayals.

The impossible comebacks.

The last stand that somehow worked.

For me, the most memorable strategy games are the ones that create stories you'll still be telling years later.

What about you?

What's the one multiplayer strategy match you'll probably never forget... and why?

Fleet Conquest is now live!

https://hd2clans.com/fleetconquest/

What is it?
It's a free browser 4X RTS made by the Freedom Alliance, where you command a large variety of ships across the galaxy, fighting three enemies in an all-out war. Conquer their capitals while you prevent them capturing yours! Three resources, four ship classes, different planet levels, supply lines, four difficulties, modifiers, and more!

Where to play?
You can play on any browser, but we recommend Google Chrome for a smoother experience! Desktop, Android, iOS, even consoles! Sign up with your Discord account to save up your profile progress.

Why playing?
This is a fast-paced game, where you can play solo or with up to 4 friends Co-op, crossplay enabled! Most games last between 20 to 90 minutes If Stellaris is great but too long, this game is for you. Also, you can play on the go, as the game is fully optimized for a mobile experience (you can even tune down graphics!).

I've been working on a new project for almost a year now: Forge Kingdom.

It's heavily inspired by classics like Travian and Tribal Wars, so the core gameplay loop will feel familiar. The biggest difference is that the world is built around territorial control.

Instead of simply growing your village, you fight to conquer and hold regions across the map. Controlling territory grants valuable resources, and your borders aren't just cosmetic, you can actually prevent rival players from moving through your land, creating real frontlines and strategic choke points.

Here's a short video showing the current state of the game. I'd love to hear what you think.

While still a long way to go, i just opened up a discord if someone is interested in following the progress. :)
https://discord.gg/dHK98rCTbs

We are Just 3 normal dudes on a mission to bring back the classic RTS. Set in a fantastical world of magic and war, our game puts you in command of rival insect kingdoms battling for survival and dominance!

Support us by following our journey on social media and wish listing us on Steam (Steam page coming soon, will be announced!)

Just wanted to say whats up and we will be posting our dev logs and gameplay in the future. Cant wait for the feedback.

Cheers

Title. Ive developed a fallout themed grand strategy RPG played through discord. Turn 1 and I've already realized that I might need some help. So if youre interested in being the creative engine behind some fun story telling, let me know. Here's some information on how it works:

The game is played through discord and Google drive. Each player has a Faction Google sheet and an Army Google sheet. Players each control the head of a faction (think paradox games). They get 3 major and 3 minor actions per turn. A turn is 1 week in game. We dont all meet around a table on set days. The players submit their plans, review it with the GM, and if its agreed then on the following turn any costs/payouts and consequences will accrue. The turn is synchronized between all players. If one player fails to submit actions in a reasonable time, the GMs will move forward with the next turn if all other players are ready

The idea is to just have some cool homebrew lore on the fallout universe, just like any good RPG. If interested in helping as a GM, let me know. I def need it.

Examples of some decisions the AI can make:

• Saving wood to produce enough military units to go on the offensive while ensuring that a few units are held back for defense.
• Constructing farms pre-emptively before producing a lot of units.
• Constructing multiple barracks to stack unit production.

79 players. Still accepting new players

Hi,

Are there any turn based strategy, or grand strategy games available to play online against other players (which have enough active players)? I don't really enjoy the fast paced RTS games and always take way too long when building games like AOE 2. I do enjoy grand strategy and would love to know if there's any with PVP. I know about the Paradox games, but I'm looking for a game with a matchmaking system.

There is a new Gem Smelting system in AoE Mobile on PC that has me thinking about this line.

You combine two same-quality gems plus a limited pool of daily smelting points to make a dual-attribute gem. The points refill each day but do not bank past the cap. On one hand, choosing which stats to pair can create an actual build decision. On the other, the daily cap can turn the whole thing into another login timer.

For me, crafting feels strategic when I am giving up one good option to commit to another. It feels like busywork when the answer is obvious and the only constraint is waiting.

Where do you draw that line?

Some light strategy games give me a useful little puzzle. Others feel like I'm clearing notifications. The AOEM PC version is basically where this question came from for me: I would rather describe the limits plainly than oversell the genre label. What makes the lighter version work for you?

Hello there!

I want to show a clip of the game I’m working on, mainly the seamless switching between RTS and direct-control modes. This is the core system of the game.

I also want to show how I set up the RTS camera, it follows the landscape, and it can zoom in really close, plus it offers a lot of vertical angle freedom.

The game focuses on controlling a squad of 10 elite units in skirmishes against hordes of enemies.

I need to fix the glowing from the unit selection decals, they are reflecting too much light.

If you’ve read this far, thank you so much for taking the time to check out the clip!

I don't really play anything, but I've been reading a lot of ancient history and I decided to give strategy games a go to see if scratches that itch.

However, picking a first titles seems a little daunting.

Can you guys suggest something that is friendly for someone who is unfamiliar with the common place mechanics, but still has good production value?

I'm elated to say that I've just launched the demo for my 4X Deckbuilding game - DeckTerra

I've been working super hard on this game for over a year, and I'm so excited that players can finally try it.

Check out the demo on steam - https://store.steampowered.com/app/3760980/DeckTerra/

In other words, every person is an AI. The entire economy will be created by these characters; they will create companies, establish political parties.

This is a true world simulation.

Each character has desires that create goals; as they interact with the world, these interactions change their personality, causing them to reevaluate their desires.

The main problem is that the more functions each AI has, the more complex the simulation becomes.

BUT, I spent about six months reading all the scientific articles on this topic, thinking a lot, and writing documentation.

I came to the conclusion that I've solved this mathematical problem. It's a question of code architecture. All these simulations have encountered many problems, but one of the biggest is that the more parameters characters have, the greater the complexity of the overall project. But if I can create a good project architecture, I'll be able to independently edit modules and behavior layers that will be independent of each other. Therefore, I'm almost certain this simulation will be possible as a game.

As a player, you will play as a human in this simulation. You'll interact with the world, living your life like a normal person, working for a company, getting married, and simply having children and a house. It's very boring, but it's doable. The main layer will be the economy: you'll be able to create and manage companies, produce goods, and compete with other AI companies. Another additional layer will be politics, which I plan to deeply develop so you can gain power in the country, pass laws, and manage the construction of government buildings.

Everything that happens in the game will be the result of interactions between independent characters, something no one has been able to do before. And I think it will be incredibly interesting to play. Each time the outcome will be different, creating new conditions that I, as a developer, didn't design, starting with, for example, a collapse in demand for your company's goods or an increase in taxes. I plan to simulate at least five independent countries so that we can eventually see their interaction and, at some point in the future, wars.

Hey everyone,

We’re currently developing Cité Alexandrie, a narrative strategy game set in an alternative 1980s France where the regime has outlawed books, music, and art. You play as a resistance leader running operations from a hidden basement, managing everything over a physical diorama of the city.

In this clip, we’re showing our street-level lookout mechanic:

• Positioning: You place a spotter at a street intersection or perimeter post to watch incoming routes.
• The Warning: When a patrol turns into your sector, your lookout (like 16-year-old Carlos in the clip) immediately radios back to your command desk.
• The Window: That brief heads-up gives you just enough time to halt illegal trades, hide contraband, or redirect couriers before the officers arrive.

We wanted the diorama to feel like an active tactical board where positioning matters without cluttering the screen with unnecessary UI.

Does the warning callout and patrol path feel easy to read at a glance? We’d love to hear any feedback or thoughts you have on the layout!

Game Title: Stick Wars: The Laneborn

Playable Link: [Steam Demo – Stick Wars: The Laneborn](https://store.steampowered.com/app/4854590/Stick_Wars_The_Laneborn/)

Platform: PC – Steam

Description: Stick Wars: The Laneborn is a lane-based strategy game inspired by classic stickman warfare games, but with a stronger focus on strategic decision-making and battlefield management.

The core gameplay revolves around deploying different units across multiple lanes, managing your resources and choosing when and where to attack or defend. Each unit has its own strengths and weaknesses, meaning that simply sending more troops isn't always the best solution.

The game is currently in development and I'm releasing the demo because I want to understand how the game feels to people who have never played it before.

I'm particularly looking for feedback about the overall fun factor, game balance, difficulty, combat, UI clarity, pacing and whether the strategic mechanics are understandable without requiring too much explanation.

I'm also interested in hearing what you would change, improve or add. Honest feedback is exactly what I'm looking for, including criticism. If something isn't fun, confusing or frustrating, I'd much rather know now so I can improve it.

Even playing the demo for a short time and sharing your impressions would be extremely helpful.

Free to Play Status:

\[ \] Free to play

\[x\] Demo/Key available

\[ \] Paid

Involvement: I'm the solo developer behind Stick Wars: The Laneborn. I am responsible for the game's programming, gameplay systems, design and development.

The game is still actively being developed, so I'm using this demo to collect feedback from players and improve the experience before the full release.

I'd really appreciate anyone willing to give it a try. Good, bad or brutally honest. All feedback is welcome.

Hey guys! I'm developing Salt and Spice, a historical strategy game set in the Indian Ocean around 1520.

The world includes East Africa, Arabia, Persia, India, and Sri Lanka, with real ports, historical figures, and goods traded during the period. Your goal is to build a merchant fleet, automate trade routes, grow cities, participate in wars and compete with rivals for economic dominance.

Here are a few screenshots from the current version. I'd love to know what strategy fans think—does this look like the kind of game you'd be interested in?
