OpenFront.io is a real time strategy game with simple controls. It can be played online against other players and bots, or just against bots.
The game software itself is open source, the source code can be found on Github under openfrontio/OpenFrontIO.
Strategy
Winning in OpenFront.io is achieved by efficiently conquering land while deterring attackers. The victory condition is domination (80% of total land). The defeat condition is elimination (0% land). The map is divided into lands and waters. Naval gameplay is about controlling trade ship routes to buy cities, defenses, and nukes (which are used to disrupt a snowballing player). Trade ships automatically path between ports, and warships can be used to capture trade ships. Land gameplay is about controlling lands to snowball your army and steamroll other players. Lands have elevation, which affects the base cost to capture the land. Mountains are more costly and take longer to capture than grasslands.
