Best Online Strategy Games Ever Made

Since strategies are one of the fundamental gaming genres, among them you can find RTS and TBS, which can only be played online. Often they are only available in the browser, which has its advantage: there is no need to download any client, nor to pay any money (since such games are most often free).

This list includes all the online strategies that you can try right now. It features both browser-based strategies and client RTS and TBS.
