Inselnova is a free, slow-burn multiplayer strategy game set in a medieval archipelago. You start with one island and the open sea. What you build from there is up to you.

The year is 1247. You are the governor of a single island in a vast, half-claimed archipelago, and everyone around you is a real player.

• Build your settlement from the ground up: farms, mines, barracks, a laboratory, walls. Upgrade everything and manage food, taxes and happiness.
• Train an army across 13 unit types: infantry, catapults, warships, spy ships, colonisation ships. Raise a fleet and decide what to do with it.
• Raid your neighbours for their resources, or fortify and turtle. Battles are decided on the odds, not a script, so strength and timing both matter.
• Spy before you strike. Send spy ships for intel on a rival's defences, and build watchtowers to catch theirs coming in.
• Trade on the bazaar, a player-driven marketplace where prices move with what real players are buying and selling. If nobody's listing, nobody's buying.
• Form an alliance of up to 50 players. Garrison troops on each other's islands, coordinate wars, and climb the rankings together.
• Run your town through council affairs: a steady stream of small problems, each with choices that shape the kind of place you're building.
• Watch out for the Black Tide, an NPC faction that claims abandoned islands and turns on their neighbours. The world cleans itself, and there is never a reset.
• It's a slow burn, built for short sessions. Queue your builds and research, log off, and your island keeps working while you're away.

Free to play, no download, no pay-to-win. Works on desktop and mobile. Open a browser and you're in.

New worlds favour early players, so the sooner you settle, the more open sea there is to claim. Play now: https://inselnova.com
