Supremacy 1914 is a grand strategy multi-player online game set in World War I. You will take control of one nation and try to use diplomatic skill, military prowess and covert tactics in the struggle for dominance over the continent - or the whole world. Supremacy 1914 is played in single matches (or 'game rounds') which may take two to eight weeks to finish and pit up to 500 players against each other in real-time combat.


Gameplay takes place on historical maps and is all about managing your economy, directing your armies to expand your territory, and forming coalitions with other players in order to fulfil the victory condition of the match. Unit commands and productions will be executed even when you are offline. However, keeping a close eye on what is happening on the map and managing the moment-to-moment interactions is key to victory. You can play multiple game rounds simultaneously to explore strategies and challenge different players.


By playing and winning games, you will gain awards and higher ranks to measure your progress against other players. You can also join alliances, enter cooperative team matches, and set up rounds with various different settings and game modes.
