One world. Hundreds of AI nations. One prize to hold.
Build an economy, raise an army, find allies and take the Nexus before anyone else can hold it. Turn by turn, at your pace. Free, in your browser, no account and no download.
The same rules and the same fight for one central prize. Different age, different armies, different feel. Your save for each game is kept separately in your browser.
Real screens from the game, taken in the last ticks of a season when the whole world marches on the prize.
The Last Battle. In the final ticks the whole world marches on the prize. The panel shows who holds it, who is marching on it, every battle, and the hold race: hold it the longest and the season is yours.
Home shows what is in the air: incoming in red, help in green, your own strikes in blue. One next action on top.
Each order costs command points. Scout before you sail: a rival's strength is unknown until your scan lands.
Every nation moves at once. Battles resolve, markets shift, alliances call for help. Or let it run at 1x, 5x or 20x.
Some raid, some hold, some are rich and thin. They trade, ally, betray and remember a strike.
Air, recon and ground, unit counters and doctrines. A smaller combined force beats a bigger blind one.
Found a bloc, share intel, call for defence and plan joint strikes. An alliance win is shared.
The price you read is the price you pay. Buy into a hot market and it costs you.
Learn the game one clear goal at a time, from your first regions to a season on Warlord.
Quick, Standard or Epic. Recruit, Veteran or Warlord. Save slots, and it works offline.
Terrastate is a free grand strategy game in the style of Planetarion that runs in your web browser. You lead one nation against 300 AI nations on a world map of 25 theaters: build an economy, research, raise an army, join or found an alliance and fight for the Nexus, the one region that decides the season.
Yes. Terrastate and Romaterra are completely free. There are no payments, no ads, no account and no download. It is a non-commercial hobby project by Wim Kamphorst from the Netherlands.
No. Open playterrastate.nl/play.html in any modern browser and you are playing. You can install it as an app from the browser if you like, and it keeps working offline. Your saved game stays in your own browser.
Yes. Terrastate and Romaterra are built for both phone and desktop, with the same save on the device you play on.
Take the Nexus, build the Earth Command Center on it and hold it for 12 ticks. If nobody manages that, the Last Battle decides: the whole world marches on the Nexus and whoever holds it the longest wins. In Romaterra the prize is Roma and the Imperial Palace.
No. The AI nations pay exactly what you pay and only know what they have scouted. Rival alliances have a war council that picks targets, signs pacts, scouts and strikes together, but always with the same rules as you.
You choose: a Quick season of 200 turns, Standard of 400 turns or Epic of 840 turns. It is turn-based, so you can end each turn yourself, or let it run automatically at 1x, 5x or 20x speed. Difficulty is Recruit, Veteran or Warlord.
Not yet. What you play now is Season 0: single-player against AI nations, the training ground for the live world. The live world, one shared season with real people as the other nations, opens when 100 commanders have joined the waitlist on the Terrastate Discord.
Season 0 is the single-player phase of Terrastate and Romaterra. You learn the game against 300 AI nations while the community grows. When 100 commanders are on the Discord waitlist, the live multiplayer world opens. Players from Season 0 are marked as Founding Commanders.
Romaterra is the same game set in the age of Rome. You gather denarii, grain, timber, iron, livestock and bronze, train legionaries, cataphracts, ballistae and war elephants, and fight to take Roma and hold the Imperial Palace.
Terrastate is inspired by tick-based browser strategy games such as Planetarion, with the alliances, scouting and timed attacks of that genre, plus the map and diplomacy of a grand strategy or 4X game. The difference: you play against hundreds of AI nations, at your own pace, without waiting for other players.
