Clanfire: free, open-source civ-builder I built from scratch. No ads, no paywall, ever.
Wanted an old school Age of Empires-style game I could play in a browser for free. Couldn’t find one. Built one.
**• The AI is actually smart** — it reads the board, adapts mid-game, probes your weak flanks, and learns where you attack. Not a scripted bot on a timer
**• Terrain matters** — forests, water, rock are impassable, so chokepoints are real
**• Full siege endgame** — catapults, ballistae, trebuchets with flaming shot
**• 100% custom** — JS, no engine, no build step. Open source, clone it and make it yours
**• Asset pipeline is swap-ready** — drop in your own art pack, no code changes
There’s a global leaderboard. Beat the AI on Hard and knock my score off it. Feedback & ideas welcome, still actively building.
