Show HN: I rebuilt a 2000s browser strategy game on Cloudflare's edge
A developer has successfully rebuilt the classic browser strategy game Inselkampf using modern Cloudflare Edge infrastructure. The project focuses on pure strategy without pay-to-win mechanics, optimized for both desktop and mobile.
How Kampfinsel Works
Features
3 Resources — Gold, Stone, Wood
5-Phase Combat — Naval, Harbour, Land, Siege, Plunder
No Pay-to-Win — Strategy beats wallet
Alliance Politics — 30 players, coordinated attacks
Async Gameplay — 5 min morning, 5 min evening
Your Path to Empire
| Day 1–7 | Expand mines, secure resources. 5 min/day is enough. | | Day 7–21 | Build barracks and lab, set up first defences. | | Day 21–40 | Harbour to level 20, build your first colonisation ship. | | Day 40+ | Alliances, coordinated fleets, diplomacy and conquest. |
For Veterans
“Inselkampf was the game that made you set your alarm for 6 AM just to coordinate the attack on the enemy alliance. No other browser game ever managed that again.”
Same DNA: 3 resources, 11 buildings, 5 technologies, 5-phase combat, colonisation, alliances with up to 30 players.
What's new: Newbie protection, mobile support, modern infrastructure on Cloudflare.
