Endless Revolution
These days people have a variety of online gaming content to choose from, from facebook apps, to sites like pogo.com, online poker websites, and of course games like World of Warcraft that have entire worlds for you to explore. None of these games that are browser based are as in depth as say a game like World of Warcraft, but on the upside they’re free and require no downloads, since in order play games like World of Warcraft you have to pay a monthly fee and download software. Many people are looking for fun games that are free and requires no downloads. Most free browser based games aren’t going to provide you with that much in-depth content like a game such as World of Warcraft would. A free browser based game that requires critical in depth thinking that presents the player with a unique, challenging environment that includes not just the single player, but all players to create a unique political environment, is hard to find. Might I suggest Endless Revolution.
With the ability to build your own country from the ground up, you get to choose what sort of nation you will be. You can choose between 8 governments, each of which give various bonuses such as production bonuses in various areas of production, market discounts, offensive and defensive military bonuses, land exploration bonuses, among other bonuses. From there you choose what type of economy your country has, ranging from military industrial complex, to energy or food producer, or you can get into the financial business, with various strategies involved with each one. This is done by gaining land and building buildings on the unbuilt land, all of which have different effects. This is all done with a turn based system where you are allowed to build so many buildings per turn, with your building per turn amount increasing as your land increases. Turns are received once every ten minutes.
Within the game are stages ranging from 1 to 4, with each stage giving more advanced government bonuses. All countries start out at stage one and are required to meet certain criteria before being able to “stage up”. Also within the game are public and private markets on which a variety of items can be bought and sold including land, military units, special forces, food, energy, population, and missiles. You also have the ability to create your own union and recruit other players into it or join an existing union by contacting them through the ingame message system or in the game’s forums.
The game is centered around land, requiring it to be explored for or gained by attacking other countries through “landgrabs”. Another way to gain land after exploring or attacking someone successfully for land is to use the reclaim function, which is an ability of your country’s commandos. The amount of unclaimed land you have is based on how much land you have explored, and also how much unclaimed land you have gotten from landgrabs. This consumes quite a bit of resources though, and should be used strategically.
Since attacking for land is one of the most common ways to kill your enemy, war can also be a good way to gain more land and become stronger. By waging a successful war, you can come out on top with twice as much land or more than what you started with, which will give you an advantage over other countries both in production bonuses and at the end of the round, when you will be buying a lot of military from your private market, which refills based on how much land you have. Be mindful of your actions though, as war isn’t always good for your nation or your union’s public relations with other unions as it can bring future wars and other problems. The game’s community consists of many aggressive players that can be counted on to go to war most rounds. Though many of the players are aggressive, most are happy to help with strategy advice and general game mechanics as they like to see good competition thrive.
The game runs on a time frame of generally about 42 days, after which the countries are wiped out and the game is started over again. Visit Endless Revolution for details.
