1. War Planet Online: Global Conquest

   

   Build a base, raise armies of tanks, jets and artillery, and march them across a real-world map against thousands of live opponents. An MMO strategy war where alliances matter and the fighting never stops. Fair warning: spending money speeds things up a lot.

   Battle Nations is a wartime city builder with turn-based battles and a sense of humor.

3. Operation: New Earth

   

   Command a military stronghold on an Earth overrun by aliens, raise an army, chase the alien element Neutronium, and fight other human factions for what is left of the planet. A long-haul multiplayer strategy where alliances, politics and patience matter more than reflexes. Fair warning: spending money speeds things up a lot, and the pace is slow.
