MMO ( Massively multiplayer online game ) strategy games are very popular nowadays , from games like clash of clans , clash of kings and many more. the idea of a MMO strategy game is to build a base over time and defend it while also attacking other players to gain more resources in order to progress further , of course this is just the Base building strategy games side of the whole MMO strategy games . today i will be mainly talking about this side as i have been a big fan of these types of games.
furthermore , i have been playing clash of clans since 2014 when i was still about 4 years old so i have lots of experience in this field of games , but enough with the ranting lets start.
The first Base building MMO first released back in 2010 , Backyard Monsters . It was the first ever MMO base building game . the game was released for flash-only meaning that it required the adobe flash-player plugin/application in order to run . at that time only windows computers could run flash player as steve jobs had no plans of adding flash-support . This , not only made the game very limited but pushed back even more when the game was released on facebook only , this meant that not only could you not run the game on your phone but you also had to have facebook-games ( a very old gaming platform for facebook games only ) installed which many people didnt want to. Clash of clans , first released in Aug 2nd 2012 , was released ONLY for mobile Devices instead of PC , this was of course at a time when mobile gaming was slowly peaking and eventually , clash of clans was also released on android devices ( it was originally for IOS only ) soon after 2012 with its global release .
Despite there being many “clash of clans rip offs” out there , clash of clans wasn’t even an original idea nor was it an original game when it was released initially . It was basically just backyard monsters with different graphics that were more appealing and made more sense visually , although eventually the game started getting more updates that were more innovate and changed the overall style and gameplay of the game and today more than 1 Million people actively play clash of clans.
