Favourite 4X Browser Based Games
« on: August 05, 2008, 10:47:02 AM »
I just want people to tell me their favourite browser baed 4X strategy games? (Xplore, Xpand, Xploit, Xterminate) And what it is they like about them? I've only recently got back into BBGs and i'm hoping there are some great ones out there I haven't tried yet!

Thanks!

That's a fun game.
Do you really think that's a fun game? Can you tell us why? Because it's an AWFULL layout. So it must be kinda fun gameplay and/or ingame layout.

Layout isn't the best with this game, but this game has one of the best communities with a great game to go with it.

Ikariam looked very cool, but it was way to fast. I don't mind if it takes a while to build things up.

The issue with Aegis is that there's a steep learning curve. It's hard to get into, but once you're in, you're addicted.

I'm pretty sure they have multi-language support, I've played it in both english and swedish.

http://www.midnightmu.com - Based on the old ZX Spectrum game from 1984, The Lords of Midnight.  Superb mix of RPG, adventure, strategy and wargame, great community.

http://www.hattrick.org - Very good and detailed football management game

http://web01.outer-reaches.com/ - Written by two girls and a brilliantly presented sci-fi strategy.

http://www.inselkampf.com - Deceptively simple game with what can be a highly addictive element of diplomacy.

I'll plug my own site here too, all the above are reviewed on http://www.ogreview.org if you want more information.
