The Settlers Online | Free-to-Play Browser MMO of the Year 2013

Today I am presenting you one of the best, if not the best classical free-to-play browser game: The Settlers Online. It has been awarded with the title the MMO of the year two years in row, in various categories: community relations, classical browser game, strategy browser... Did I mention it is fun, well organized and free-to-play?

Recently I have been writing about some awarded MMO games, and this is just me continuing that fashion. The Settlers Online is something different: great community, good graphics, thrilling gameplay... This has been recognized by both online community and professionals taking the role of the jury in every year's contest for the best MMO of that year. Lets mention here the other awarded games I have been writing about: Grepolis | MMO of the Year 2012 and Rising Cities: New City Building Browser Game.
 

The Settlers, Our Favorite PC Strategy Goes Online

Yep, The Settlers Online is still in beta faze of testing, so there is lots of things there to be done. But two years in a row, this game is winning awards for best MMO of the year in various categories.

The Settlers, the cutest PC strategy is now available in browser version. These are great news for every fan of the genre. I personally spent significant time playing the Settlers, and I adore them. This time, they are there, at your hand reach. You can play them online, for free with no download needed.

Buy PC version of the game at low price on Amazon!

You must be asking yourself did this move affect gameplay or graphics. I assure you, the graphics is sharp and crisp, and you are going to love it. I was surprised to see a browser strategy game with this good graphics. Colors are vivid, everything is animates, and everything that happens you can watch it in live (deforestation, battles, workshop workers hammering hot iron...).

Browser experience is decent. Nothing freezes up, there are no lag, and surprisingly no bugs, having in mind that the Settlers are still in BETA testing faze. 

The Settlers are CASUAL MMO strategy of the year 2012/2013

Surprisingly, there are no PvP battles. You don't compete with other players, and you can't conquer them. In one word, the Settlers are FRIENDLY online game.

Unlike other strategy games, this is friendly, casual online free-to-play game. You don't have to worry about that someone will attack your village while you are offline, and destroy everything that you have built so far. Someone will find this an advantage of the game, and the other will simply say: What is the strategy without fight and conquering. I am not keeping any side.

This is almost a city builder game. There are enough aspects that could put the Settlers Online into this category, the browser city builder MMO.

Luckily, there is an enemy in form of bandits. Bandits are group of outsiders that have occupied the land beyond the borders of your empire. When you look at the map, you will notice that you are located on an island, somewhere in the ocean.  This island is divided into few sectors. You start playing as the king of one of those sectors, and the rest of them are occupied by bandits. They are scattered around in camps protecting their leader. If you wish to control all the regions (and you will have to in order to place all the needed buildings), you will have to fight those bandits. No worries, they don't invade your land. It is up to you when and where to attack.

The Settlers Online: Gameplay. It is Simple, or perhaps the Other Way?

It is the perfect catch for those who love in-depth gameplays, with lots of things to keep an eye on. This game is one of those. Keep the track of resources coming to warehouses, food and tools production, military upkeep, etc. One thing is sure: you won't be bored playing this free-to-play MMO of the year 2013.

When you log in for the first time, you own only a Mayor's house. This house serves as home for you, 50 workers and as a storage facility for your resources. Then you start building. From the moment ONE and throughout the game you are guided by a well organized tutorial. You are learning how to play the game by completing certain quests, which bring you various awards: wood, gold, brew...

First thing that you need to take care of is steady resource production. And, boy, there are many kinds of resources in this strategy game. The whole game is about creating and keeping the balance between gathered resources and those spent on production.

After setting up few timber lands, marble, copper and stone mines, you will need to build some workshops in which you will use those to produce planks, wheat, bread, tools, weapons... I am telling you, there is no end. Sometime in the middle of the game you realize you have forgotten to build more bakeries, and then realize too that you don't have more building permits (those are received by conquering new sectors, or by buying them with real money).

In general, it is one kind of the browser game. Covers almost every aspect of economy, trade and military, so this will absolutely become the biggest strength of the game, aside from the graphics. This fact guarantees fun!

The Settlers Online: Free-to-Play Online Strategy, but!

There are certain premium features you can buy with real money. Actually, it seems you can buy everything with real money. But this doesn't change anything. You still have access to every feature and building in the game without paying it. Money simply increases the speed of the production.

Sadly, you can use your money to buy everything in the game, which ruins every game experience. Some players will use this in their advantage. They will, then, have stronger economy, bigger army, more settlers, more production buildings, more mines, more permits, more of everything.

Hey, wait! Didn't I say, at the beginning of this review, that you don't fight with other players, and that you actually have no interactions with them?. I am sure I did. Then, why would it be an advantage for them to have larger army, more resources, more products, stronger economy...? I guess, it is now, then.

So, let it make simple: you actually don't need to spend a dime in order to play. It is more realistic and fun if everything goes a little bit slower.

MMO of the Year in Category The Best Community Relationship.

The Settlers Online have large community. You can engage with them in chat rooms, or you can visit their cities and improve their production by "buffing" one or more buildings (mines or factories).

I love visit friend's city feature in this browser strategy. You are able to go to the city of one of your friend, and "buff" few of their buildings to produce more resources (2 or more times more resources for a relatively long period of time).

Your friends will notice that, and maybe return the favor very soon. Buffs work twice longer if they are applied on friend's building than on your own. Have it mind. ;)

In bottom left corner you will notice a chat window with four (at present) chat-rooms. Mods are friendly, and always available for the any help you will need. Here you can chat with other players and with your friends, ask for resources, products exchange, etc.

Best MMO of the years 2010, 2012 and 2013 in various categories.

The Settlers Online really proved to be one of the best online strategies, with friendly and well bounded community. It is up to you to try it.

For three years in row (2010, 2012 and 2013- 2011 there was no elections) this browser war strategy/city builder game was nominated and elected in as the best in following categories:

• Best strategy (2012),
• Best Community Relations in one MMO(2012/2013),
• Best Strategy Browser MMO (2012),
• Best Classic Browser MMO (2013).

SP are points you earn for destroying enemy units, enemy general, for capturing enemy cities, etc. The more battle you give, the more strategy points you earn. And the more SP you earn in the game, the faster you move through the ranks.

There are 15 ranks, and you need to reach specific number of SP to earn the next higher rank. Every new rank requires more points, which means that when you reach rank 7, or 8, it will take you few weeks, later even months of playing, to earn next higher rank.

Here is what administrators there say about this method:

This is really effective way to gain SP faster. You can challenge an other play while playing team game on (lets say) world map, or you can create duel games for two players. If you beat your opponent you earn extra points which are added to SP already gained in battles.

Your opponent will loose some amount of strategy points, so it makes it double gain, I guess. ㋡

Grepolis 2.0: Browser War Game Placed in Ancient Times

Grepolis 2.0 is one of the best real-time browser war games. It has been rewarded as the best European MMO game of the year 2012. Grepolis is placed in ancient times when Gods were the rulers of seas and land. Become part of large community of sea warriors in over 60 worlds that exist in this free-to-play browser war game.

Play Grepolis 2.0: a browser war game set in Antiquity.

Become a ruler of a mighty alliance, and lead it to the victory trough fierce  naval and land battles. Crush the enemy and take all the cities on the map for yourself! 

This game is the one you simply have to try. I am sure you will love it. You start with a small village on one of islands in one of many sea worlds that exist in Grepolis. You, then, have to build up your city to a mighty Polis, which then can build up a mighty army of soldiers and divine mythological creatures. Use those to conquer your neighboring cities, and to rule the ancient worlds.

Grepolis is real time strategy war game. This means that you cannot stop the game at any moment. You cities can be attacked and conquered no matter if you are online or not. This makes it a bit more challenging in compare to some casual turn-based strategy games (like AtWar).

What is so good in playing Grepolis?

Grepolis as all but superficial and easy game. You have to work on your own conquest strategy and work together with your alliance-mates, in order to "survive" this browser war game.

Grepolis is not about "log in, play, attack, log out"; it has its depth, and requires lots of planning, building of the strategy, putting yourself in the shoes of your opponents, cooperating with your team fellows... Above all, it is a team game. You cannot win it alone, and you will need to gather up a team of players who will work together with you on clearing the regions and the whole oceans of enemy cities.

The whole lot more fun comes when you  become a ruler of 5 or more cities. At some stadium you will have more than 100 cities, with indescribable military power. You are then in position to state your demands, control the game with few other players who are as powerful as you are... Diplomacy is one of the key features in game. Trading territories, declaring war, peace or even PACTS is what makes this game realistic.

Alliance system in Grepolis 2.0

Teaming up with your neighbors makes you more powerful. Well organized alliances where dozens of members attack as if they are one, are those who will stand throughout the whole war.

Alliances are one of key figures in every Grepolis' world. Every ocean has hundreds of alliances, but only few of them (10-ish) are those who actually have power to destroy it and rearrange it the way the want. Whatever happens between those alliances will determine the destiny of everyone in that specific world (one of over 60 worlds in Grepolis).

One alliance is made of dozens, if not hundreds, of players. Every player have a rank given to him, which places  him in a certain position within that alliance.  You can be a founder, co-founder, leader, war general of specific world area ruled by your alliance, recruit officer... Prove yourself in team play and organizing missions, and you will be moving up in hierarchy in no time.

One alliance in Grepolis 2.0 is similar to a state in real world. With this comes everything else one state has: diplomacy, trading system, military... Choose your alliance wisely, and fight for it: this alliance is your home now and your destiny in the game depends on its strength.

atWar: Conquer World Map with Guerrilla Warfare Strategy

atWar: the best browser free-to-play strategy game brings so many playing options that makes it nearly impossible to get bored even after months of playing it. Formerly known as Afterwind, this turn based war game has number of strategies which allow players to put a bit of themselves into the game. One of the most played strategies is Guerrilla Warfare, or GW. Learn how to conquer the world using Guerrilla Warfare.

What is Guerrilla Warfare? It is one of the most used strategies in atWar. It is the second most popular strategy, just after the Sky Menace. Keep reading to see what are the good and what are the bad sides of waring using GW!

Are you new to atWar: the best browsed free-to-play turn-based game?

Choose the right countries to play Guerrilla Warfare in atWar.

Right choice of the country is really important. Learn which countries are the best choice for Guerrilla Warfare (GW).

Guerrilla Warfare's main characteristic is low price of troops and of the upkeep. This makes it perfect for third world countries and small countries. So, if you ask me to tell you in short which is the perfect country for this strategy I would tell it is any African country or some Eastern European country. But, again, it depends on starting funds too. So, lets see which state should be your choice in which situation.

They say GW is perfect for games played on Europe map. This is true if you choose to play on Balkans and central Europe. You must keep in mind that troops range is shorten with this strategy, so you need to choose countries which are small and surrounded with many other countries. Balkans and central Europe is thus good choice for you. Of course you won't choose GW if the starting funds are above 5K. If you play 10+K game you will have enough money to choose Perfect defense, or Sky Menace, or any other.

Best choices for starting countries in Europe with guerrilla warfare are: Austria, Serbia, Poland, Denmark.

If you choose to play Africa, which I do not recommend, you should choose some of the countries on western coast: Nigeria, Ivory Coast, Cameroon. I really don't recommend starting in Africa if you play World map. There are many better places to start. But, of all strategies, guerrilla warfare is the best for this continent. It is cheap, allows you to build many troops, and still have steady money flow.

There is one more country that is great choice for this strategy. That is Pakistan. With Pakistan you can take India, Afghanistan, UAE, and Uzbekistan. In next 2 turns you can reach Middle East and Russia. Russia is going to fix your lame income, and Middle-east countries will bring you lot of reinforcements.

 Germany is an other good choice for Guerrilla Warfare players.

atWar: Guerrilla Warfare Troops presentation- marines and militia win the war!

The main troops in this strategy are marines and militia. Subs are improved too for faster transportation of marines.

Every strategy focuses on specific type of troops. In this case "main" troops you will use in your conquest are: marines and militia. They have been improved in ones and weakened in other aspects. In first place, the cost of these troops have been lowered:
marines -70 = 90
militia -20 = 10.

Critical hit point has been improved:
marines +2 = 7,
militia +4 = 4.

The range has been improved too:
marines +1 = 7,
Anti-aircraft +3 = 5,
submarines +1 = 10.

Attack and defense points of militia have been improved by 1.

Attack and defense points of other troops have been lowered by much and other characteristics have been change too. Here is the screenshot of Unit Information window:

Good and bad sides of Guerrilla Warfare in atWar (Afterwind)

Learn to know strengths and weaknesses of every strategy that you play in atWar.

Every strategy has its good and bad sides. Some strategies have improved defense, others range and attack points, while third ones are cheap. This particular strategy: Guerrilla Warfare is just that- cheap. It allows you to pick regions on world map with low income, and still to have steady money flow.

Guerrilla Warfare allows you to build lots of units, both marines and militia, but the range and cost of transports make those (transports) useless, especially in first few turns. This is why GW is pretty slow, and that is why you need to choose areas with lots of small countries: Balkans, Western Africa, Middle East.

GW is weak in both offense and defense part, but at one point you will be the player with the highest troop count, so this will compensate that weakness. You will be able to stack critical cities with lots of militia if necessary, since militia costs only 10, and has improved range and defense points.

I do not recommend playing world map with GW unless you have ally who played some other strategy with larger unit range.

For me the biggest advantage of Guerrilla Warfare aside from its low cost units is usage of powerful marines who are factor of surprise in critical times of war, when surprise plays big role. You can send lots of marines behind battle lines, deep into the enemy territory and hit his background cities, which are by the rule less defended.

atWar (Afterwind): the conclusion about Guerrilla Warfare.

In short, what do you need to know and never to forget about this strategy? Highlighting the most important facts about this valuable atWar strategy.

So, the bottom line is: GW is cheap, and lets you play areas of the world map with countries which are poor, but offer lots of reinforcements (Balkans, Middle East, Africa, South America). On the other hand, you can build many marines (cost lowered by 90) with the same attack value as it is in other strategies.

Militia is cheaper, stronger in both attack and defense, and has greatly improved unit range.

But, at the beginning it is almost impossible (at least not advisable) to use air nor sea transports. They are expensive, and have shorter range. Units globally are slow, making GW the strategy for Europe map, mostly. One more important thing is that you will probably have more units than other players who are using different strategies. So, GW is all about the quantity and less about the quality.

I hope I was helpful. If you have any question to ask, feel free to leave the comment. Thank you and good luck in your conquest in atWar!

AtWar is a new name for relatively new strategy game Afterwind.I was writing about Afterwind earlier on other places. This turn based war game, played on realistic world map, succeeded to bring Risk and Civilization games together in the best possible way.

Remember: Know thy self, know thy enemy. A thousand battles, a thousand victories. 

Sun Tzu

Do you remember times when Risk was must-have board game? I grow up playing Risk, and later that place was taken by Civilization franchise. I am fan of strategy game, and those two are classics. I was surprised when I stumbled upon the Afterwind for the first time. Its graphic, idea, variety of the maps, everything just overwhelmed me.

Afterwind: World-Map-Based Game

Since Afterwind is an old story now, I suggest you to follow this link and read about its origins there. The most important principles of AW have been transferred to atWar (playing tactics, creating maps, attack and defense review...)

Play Sky Menace and Rule the World. Here is the guide!

AtWar, formerly known as Afterwind is Risk like browser war game. One of its the most famous strategies is Sky Menace. It is the most used strategy in this free-to-play, turn-based MMO game. Do you want to know how to conquer world map using Sky Menace in atWar? If so, then keep reading!

At the time it was surprising me how could it be this awesome game didn't come on my radar earlier? It was 2 years old then, and it should have become wide known among us geeks. I guess their pr service did wrong (if any) marketing to promote this cool new war online game, played on realistic world map.
What is this game all about?

Play war matches on every possible map (from world maps to custom maps)

AtWar brings wide palette of maps you can fight on. I prefer Europe +, but maybe you will choose world map, or Eurasia, Africa, or you will decide to create a custom map. It is really up to you. Only imagination is the limit. Dozens and dozens maps are waiting for you to conquer them.

In this awesome risk like game, you can play various maps. Be a general of an existing country and conquer any continent, or a whole world. Or you can create new history starting from a Greek Polis. Conquer the whole Middle Earth, Galaxy... The possibilities are endless, and it is really just up to you to choose the right that suits your gaming preferences.

Earlier, in Afterwind, the games were played on realistic world maps only. You were able to choose among dozen of the maps to play (world, Europe, Asia, Euroasia, Africa, America, Oceania...) With this update and, lets say it: complete facelift, hundreds of new map options are added. Now you are not limited to offered maps, but you CAN CREATE YOUR OWN MAPS to play them. Isn't that just great thing?

Upload map of your country, scale it to the max, and then draw borders and place cities. Make your own country a playable scenario! Others are using maps such as Middle Earth to create an extraordinary matches. They even create the new troops, add new options, etc. Really, the possibilities are endless. With this facelift, atWar really jumped a lot ahead of AW. It is based on Risk, and Civilization, but it is a century ahead of those games. Fans of Risk won't regret trying out this online war game played on realistic world/custom maps.

Play atWar with your friends, make alliances, grab enemy territories, rule the world!

Diplomacy plays the most important role in atWar. You are not only able to create an alliance with your fellow players, but also to share resources, defend ally territories, help conquering enemy lands, etc. You will make some great friendships there, maybe even join some coalition and play games with your coalition mates. Of course, for those more experienced ones, playing solo is just as good option.

What makes this game awesome is the freedom it gives you!
Lets say you are starting as Germany. It is rich country and gives lots of troops for the start of the match. You can in few turns rule the Europe, and collect an impressive amounts of money. You can send troops overseas to fight with Americans, while creating alliance with some player on Middle East (lets say he is Israel). Your ally has conquered Middle East, has lots of troops, but lacks money to fight Asia. You, as a rich European, can send him money to keep China busy, while you are fighting Americans. Diplomacy is crucial in atWar. There are plenty ways of how to use it as your advantage. It is up to you to choose your best diplomatic options.

Right choice for fans of online war games. Play world war matches on detailed world map!

AtWar is perfect for those who love fast, time non-consuming online games. Over all, this is great strategy which gives you freedom to build your own strategy in many ways. You are not limited by game rules, but you can act as real general and plan out every battle in your own manner. Why don't you try it, GENERAL?

I play this game for a long time, and for all that time, my favorite map was Whole World Map. I am sure every player has their favorite map. I love long paced war games, with 20 players. This brings world war to the next level. This way you have even more opportunities for diplomacy, more enemies- which brings more fight, and more strategy points... It is so breath taking when you see someone sends hundreds of tanks and airplanes overseas to attack you, and you have only few turns to defend. Or otherwise.. :)
