Comparison: British Browser Games at a Glance

Ikariam — Ancient Island Strategy

Ikariam is a building strategy game set in ancient times that focuses on research and economy. Players can unlock numerous technologies in the Economy research direction, including Preservation, Pulleys, Prosperity, Wine Culture, Geometry, Architecture, Holiday, Culinary Specialties, Bureaucracy, as well as Utopia and several levels of "Future of the Economy".

Culinary Specialties (10,764 research points) allow the training of cooks in the barracks — prerequisites for this are Holiday (Economy) and Market (Seafaring). Architecture (3,672 research points) allows the construction of architectural offices and requires Geometry and Polytheism.

A special element is Privateering: In the Pirate Fortress you can command privateering raids that bring privateer points and gold. The expansion level of the Pirate Fortress determines the privateering raids, crew and range of raids. With limited range, you can only raid your own island — expanding increases the radius.

OGame — Sci-Fi Strategy in Space

OGame is a browser strategy game in space where players colonise and expand planets. A central building in the late game is the Terraformer: It makes entire areas arable and permanently produces nanites that maintain soil quality. Once built, the Terraformer cannot be demolished.

It was introduced in version 0.70a to enable players in old universes to construct new buildings. Requirements: Nanotech Factory Level 1 and Energy Technology Level 12.

How it works: Per level you receive 5 new fields on the planet — practically usable are 4 fields if another Terraformer is to be built. With Nanotech Factory Level 1 and Robotics Factory Level 10, construction of the first Terraformer takes 15 minutes and 35 seconds (in universes 50, 60 and 70 half that time). The energy required for construction only needs to be available at the start of building.

Metin2 — Far Eastern MMORPG

Metin2 is an MMORPG with a far eastern setting. The game includes numerous content around equipment, mounts and pets.

Equipment: Earrings can be worn by all classes equally and can be improved — like belts, bracelets and necklaces — using ores.

Mount Abilities: Horse abilities include Shockwave, Combat from Horseback and Hoof Stomp; for the Ninja class, Volley of Arrows is added as well.

Pet System: The Pet System can be used without level restrictions, however, a pet can only be summoned if its level does not exceed your character's level. The Pet Overview opens with the "P" key, by clicking on the status display of a summoned pet or via the button in the chat bar. Pet eggs are placed in the breeding basket via double-click or right-click; during breeding, an individual name (4–20 characters) can be assigned, which can also be changed later. Pets receive a random duration of 1–14 days during breeding, which can be extended by feeding other pets or pet eggs. Some pets like Melayu's Baby have a longer duration of up to 45 days.
