Minewars is a browser-based war strategy game. The game requires no downloads, has no banners or ads, and is free to play. There are many different ways that you can play to try to reach the coveted Hall of Fame.
The basic goal is to finish the round in the top 10. You get score for mainly three different tasks: mining resources, destroying enemy units in battle, or keeping special units called k-drones, which you can take by force from others or they may take from you.
You'll find a wide variety of options among each of the styles, choosing from over 80 different units (vehicles, tanks, planes, mechs, helicopters, etc) and selecting different combinations of over 30 different research projects. Each research project gives you a different ability, or perhaps gives you a special military unit or building. But you cannot do all 30+ of them. You must strategically choose the projects that best fit your plans. Whichever way you choose, you have the flexibility to cancel and change your research projects at any time in order to react and adjust to the demands of the situation in war.
This is a strategy game with great depth designed for those that enjoy the challenge of out-thinking, of reacting to changes, of planning with multiple options, of managing economic factors and most of all, of building a base from scratch and waging war. There are many layers of the game, including an open market, a terrain to explore for various mineral rich areas, outposts to build apart from your main base, generals leading your armies and how they level up, special attack techniques like guerilla warfare, air strikes, ambushes, etc. But the best part is you don't need to know it all to compete. It is easy to learn the basics (mine, build, attack) and you can go from there, exploring different strats round after round as you hone your warring skills.

Game Universe
The wars are taking place on an asteroid called Cincomm-9, which is believed to be an offshoot of a legendary planet, Terris Lien. The asteroid is largley composed of bytanium, one of the most valuable minerals known to man and highly coveted throughout the galaxy. Since the discovery of this asteroid, there has been a race to get to it and mine its valuable resources, but unfortunately the situation is lawless. Mining operations frequently get attacked, mines destroyed, k-drones stolen. It has degenerated into an allout warzone.
Game Goals
To be a fun, engrossing war environment. This is not a formulaic game, as war is not a formulaic endeavor. The goal is to allow room for innovation and provide the battleground.
Development
This game was built with a lot of player input. For the first 15 rounds, each round was very different as we would make changes based on what players polls and forum discussions. We wanted to continually add depth for older players, make it easier to learn for new players, and achieve balance for all. Between each round, there is a "Chaos Round" in which changes are introduced and tested before starting the main round. There aren't many big, game-changing adjustments made nowadays though, as we feel the game is stablizing. Now, there are smaller balance tweeks and different tools added to help make the game easier.
