What are the chances?

Looks like the game still works, if you can get flash to run.

I used FlashBrowser (https://flash.pm/browser/) to play a training game.

I joined this game (waronline.net/home/egame.asp?gid=12805) and will try to keep checking back in occasionally.

If you are also hopelessly optimistic and/or nostalgic and want to give it a try, feel free to join me.

It only runs on Windows! Dang it!

I suppose I could spend my few dollars on a used Windows laptop... does it seem to really work? Opens maps? Shows troops?

I think it's supposed to work on Windows/Mac/Linux. I tried it on Linux and it worked for me.

I was able to open the map, move troops around, and attack/kill barbarians around my castle in a training game.

Here's the download links for each platform:

Windows https://github.com/radubirsan/FlashBrowser/releases/tag/v0.81

MacOS
https://github.com/radubirsan/FlashBrowser/releases/tag/v0.2

Linux
https://github.com/radubirsan/FlashBrowser/releases/tag/v0.01

OMG! It WORKS!

Does this mean Waronline can now continue??? Holy crap!! cardfan, you get a special place on my dancecard!

Let's battle! Battle 5157, A balanced breakfast, I think designed by Sage. Random map.

Sure, I'd love to play a battle. I'll check in occasionally, but it will probably work better if we pick a time to meet.

Battles are pretty forgiving about when turns happen, no need to both be here, although that is fun.

Oh ok, yeah, I see that you can force the game to end after 10 minutes of inactivity, but of course we can just not do that. It's been a while since I've played, lol.

Anyway, I joined your battle and made my first turn.

I would NEVER force a turn!

Good luck, cardfan.

Haha, of course not!

Good luck to you as well.

I've had to reopen the browser to get to the map when I have minimized the game window.

Perhaps I should make a thread about problems we encounter in this new world!

You're also always showing as being online on the "Who's Online" list. I guess you're probably keeping the game/map open? I don't know if that's normal behavior for the site or the browser acting weird.

Yeah, I have to sign in and load stuff if I log off. I just open Chrome on top of this, most of the time I can go right back to the map.

Good game, Mog.

First battle completed since 2020! First since 2006 for me, personally, lol.

It was fun, although I sucked!

It's been a while. You're just getting warmed up for that campaign that's just around the corner as soon as a few other people wander back in here.

If anybody stumbles in here, join up with the 4 player campaign!

Join Campaign_18036

This is proving to be rather difficult!

Haha, yeah. Oh well, I'll keep checking in just in case.
