Call of War

A Second World War campaign that runs in real time on a persistent map. Build an economy, research new equipment and move land, air and naval forces against human rivals. Four doctrines give every nation a distinct feel, and rounds stretch over weeks, so a few check-ins a day are enough to fight a proper war.

Supremacy 1914

A First World War campaign on a real-time map of Europe and beyond. Keep provincial morale up so your economy produces, raise and move armies, and above all negotiate. Pacts, coalitions and the occasional betrayal shape every round, and an in-game newspaper turns the war into a running story.

Rise of Cultures

One city, carried from the Stone Age through the Bronze Age and on into the great cultures of the ancient and medieval world. Lay out districts, keep production chains fed, research your way into the next era and settle short strategic battles. It is the gentlest campaign on our list and a lovely walk through history.

Travian

One of the browser’s longest-running strategy games. Choose a tribe such as the Romans, Gauls or Teutons, grow villages on wood, clay, iron and crop, and band together with an alliance. The round’s great goal is a Wonder of the World, and getting there takes months of patient teamwork.

Hero squad builder

Heroes of History

A time-travelling empire builder that grows a Stone Age settlement into a great city while you gather more than seventy heroes from history and myth. Albert Einstein guides the campaign, and battles turn on squad choice, positioning and well-timed abilities. Bright, cheerful and surprisingly thoughtful.

A contemporary war map played in real time against dozens of other players.
