Description by Publisher
1483 Online is a free massively multi player online, turn based strategy game set in the medieval period of 1483 AD. Players assume control of one of 28 player nations and seek to expand their empires through diplomacy and conquests. 1483 Online is both free to download and free to play.
1483 Online is unique in that it is a multi player turn based strategy game that also has a drag and drop game map interface and relies heavily on player to player interaction for diplomatic talks and the establishment of alliances. Games play at different paces ranging from one turn a day to several turns a week. With blitz games (turns every 10 to 15 minutes) coming soon.
The current 1483 Online software (Ver 1.7) allows players to play both the 28 player base Europe 1483 game map scenario and the new 29 players 1430 AD game variant.
Work continues on the final piece of 1483 Online software, which will be the Full World edition and support 95 players per game.
