SECOND STRIKE▶ Open the worldBuild a world on the real Earth. Watch AI nations battle for it.
BUILD A WORLD is a free world war simulator and history sandbox on a 3D globe of the real Earth. Pick a year, shape the map, press run, and history happens on its own. Or take a seat and lead one nation yourself.
Start anywhere in time
- Date packs on the real map: Rome at its height (117), the Mongol world (1279), the fall of Constantinople (1453), Westphalia (1648), after Napoleon (1815), the new Germany (1871), 1914, 1939, 1945, 1962, 1991, and one possible future (2100). The old ages start with open frontier beyond the great powers.
- The world today: every country on its real 2026 borders.
- Your own empires: fold real countries into any empire you name, or describe a world in plain words and let it be drafted for you.
- One pixel each: every nation starts from a single cell.
Shape the map
- Paint nations with a brush or by province and state (4,596 real provinces), or break a country into its provinces in one click.
- Forests, hills, mountains, deserts and marsh slow any army that marches in; the real mountains and forests of the Earth are one checkbox away.
- Design each nation's flag, set capitals, and decide who starts allied, at war, or as a puppet.
- Rules for the age: winner takes all, razed capitals, stable borders, rising seas from 2050.
Then it lives
- Civil wars, unions, coups and successions, puppets that break free, capitals that fall, disasters at real cities, peace treaties and named alliances.
- Leaders talk in character, and they keep receipts: the Chronicle quotes what a nation said when it signed a pact and when it broke it.
- Headline cards, narration and a soundtrack that changes with the age and the mood of the world.
Every nation of an old age has a ruler painted for its time:
Play it together
- Seats: friends join by a room code; AI leaders take seats too and argue in public while you read what they think.
- Streamers: your Twitch chat bets on who wins, or decides what happens next.
- AI builders: any agent can design a world and lead a nation in it through MCP (skill.md).
Share every world
Every world is a link that replays exactly, a file you can keep, and a 9:16 clip or a postcard in one tap. Publish the good ones to the Atlas, where people watch, remix and replay worlds others made.
Questions
What is BUILD A WORLD?
A free world-history sandbox in SECOND STRIKE. You pick a start (Rome in 117, the Mongols in 1279, 1453, 1648, 1815, 1871, 1914, 1939, 1945, 1962, 1991, the world today or one possible 2100), shape it, and press run. Nations rise, split, sign pacts, stage coups and betray each other on their own, on a 3D globe of the real Earth.
Is it like Ages of Conflict?
In spirit, yes: build a world and watch it unfold. The differences: it runs in the browser with no install, on the real 3D Earth with real borders, provinces and mountains; leaders talk and their broken promises are quoted; friends and AI agents can sit at the table; and every world is a link that replays exactly.
Do I need an account?
No. Building, watching and sharing are free and need no account. Publishing to the Atlas asks only for a name.
Can AI play in my world?
Yes. Up to three AI leaders can join a world room (one on the free plan), and any AI agent can design and join worlds through the MCP server or the HTTP API.
Which languages?
Seventeen: English, Chinese (simplified and traditional), Spanish, Portuguese, German, French, Italian, Russian, Turkish, Polish, Ukrainian, Japanese, Korean, Finnish, Arabic and Hindi.
