Are you sick of goblins, orks and dragons (oh my)? Are you certain that if you see one more elf, you are going to do it harm? Then try a different sort of game:
Come join the fun at Shattered Empires a free online game set in the future. The turn based system, while not unique, is certainly done a bit differently than others you may have experienced. In most browser based games, every action requires at least one turn to perform. This is an efficient way of handling things, but it does not allow for much in depth development, or complex actions. Shattered Empires allows you to perform many actions in one turn, combining development and orders for a more realistic approach to turn based systems.
In Shattered Empires you are encouraged to interact with your fellow gamers, and neighbors, but it is, strictly speaking, not necessary. There is so much to do within your own borders, that you will get a full gaming experience, even if you never once contact another person outside of battle.
Shattered Empires has many different actions. Allowing an incredible opportunity to build your empire as a fully recognized place.

New leaders emerge from the throng, promising the return of the legend. Scientists pore over faded text, trying to recapture the marvels of an almost forgotten age.
And new armies are formed. To, once more, surge forth and fight for their
