Reign Online: Text-based Strategy War Game Since 2004

Reign Online is a browser-based game that features strategy, an elegant interface, and a welcoming gaming community. This online game has a chat, a forum, and a sophisticated war system.

One structure at a time, you will build your colony into a nation. You will draft soldiers, extract precious resources, form allies, conduct trade, negotiate pacts and raise armies to defend and protect the future of your nation. Whether you are online or off, your citizens will continue working and your factories will continue building.

General Gameplay

At the onset of each round, each player selects a world and a real-life nation to represent for the duration of the nation's survival. All nations begin the round with a specific and identical amount of land, money, resource capabilities and nation specialization points. The only differences between individual nations at the beginning of a round are the nations' names and flags.

Land

Land is the most important unit/resource in the game. A nation's land count determines its eminence in the world. At the end of each round, the nation with the highest land count in its world is proclaimed to be the winner. However, there is a downside to land, the higher land count a person has, the more difficult it is to defend the land. Also, the more land you own, the more each additional land will cost.

Land is obtained in one of two ways. The first is through the purchase of land. The second is the capture of another nation's land through war.

Money

Money can be used in Reign to purchase land for expansion, to produce buildings and military units, or to give to other nations.

Money is obtained in one of five ways: through tax revenues from a nation's towns, cities and metropolises; from selling uranium on the international Black Market; from selling units or resources to other nations though the international Foreign Trade; by selling units already owned; or by being given it by other nations.

Nation Specialization

Nations may choose in what areas they will specialize through the use of nation specialization points. Every nation in the game is given a certain amount of points at the beginning of the round to invest in the nation specialization tree as they will. Every day, an identical amount of additional points are given to each nation.

Using Nation Specialization points and the Nation Specialization tree, players can focus in areas such as increased income, increased resource collection, and increased military and espionage efficiency, among others.

Units

Wars in Reign are fought with various military units, ranging in scale from individual soldiers and guards to highly destructive fusion ICBMs. A unit has two measurements of its power: its defense rating and its offense rating. Both defensive units and offensive units are generally needed to successfully wage war against another nation. Units are stored in barracks on a nation's land.

Units can either be produced by a nation through means of factories, airbases and silos, purchased from the Black Market or Foreign Trade, or obtained from a nation's alliance's unit cache.
