    Online strategy games

    Can anyone recommend any free online strategy games.

    Got my old man laptoped up and he always enjoyed games like risk etc

    He's not very PC literate at the mo so one with a simpler user interface would be best.

    TIA

    Travian and Tribal Wars are popular I believe - I think there are a few players of both on CUK.

    Also stumbled across Imperion today - from the makers of Travian.
    Where are we going? And what’s with this hand basket?

          I had to give up tribal wars, it was destroying my worklife. Was in Rank 4 tribe on W1 and on council of Rank 2 tribe on W2. Was in top 10 players both K's.

          Was very, very hard to walk away. Great game, but very addictive. And that's coming from someone who doesn't really do computer games apart from the odd drunken post pub session of fifa. Although I have recently got hooked to Fallout 3 on the 360.

          Arghhhh, I'm turning into a spotter.

            I would recommend introducing him to FarmVille.

            After that, be so nice as to get him to send me a neighbor request.
