NationCraft OnlineBrowser-based nation simulation game
NationCraft Online is an online nation simulator built around deterministic systems, a 2-hour world tick, and readable public mechanics. You build infrastructure, run a player-facing economy, prepare for war, and coordinate alliances without relying on hidden client-side math.
What NationCraft Online is
A nation-building strategy game built for system readers
If you like the idea of an online nation simulator but want clearer mechanics, public documentation, and a more legible economy-and-war loop, NationCraft Online is built for that mindset. The game rewards planning around public rules rather than reacting to opaque timers or hidden formulas.
Build your nation
Infrastructure sets your growth slope, improvements specialize your economy, and wonders change the long-term shape of your nation.
Manage economy and market
Raw resources, conversion chains, storage pressure, and the public market all feed into how fast you can expand or sustain a war.
Fight deterministic wars
Combat resolves server-side on tick with public costs, readiness commitments, and war-slot rules you can actually reason about.
Coordinate alliances and diplomacy
Alliance banking, treaties, and shared planning matter once you move from solo growth into competitive geopolitical play.
Tick cadence
How the 2-hour world tick works
Every 2 hours, the world settles the big state transitions that make a nation simulation game feel coherent: economy deltas, population pressure, many war outcomes, and queue progress. The point is not to make you wait in the dark. It is to make the strategic clock legible.
- Before tick: choose growth, market, diplomacy, and war actions.
- On tick: the server resolves the deterministic state changes for that cycle.
- After tick: read outcomes, adjust your plan, and commit the next sequence.

Public homepage and SEO content layer
Replaced the login-first root route with a public NationCraft Online homepage that explains the game loop, 2-hour ticks, start-here guides, recent updates, and account-entry actions.
Dashboard development cards now use live nation data
Fixed `/nations/[id]/dashboard` so the **Administration & Development** section no longer shows hardcoded placeholder values.
Development improvement capacity visibility
Updated `/nations/[id]/development` so the improvement selector now shows per-option capacity context from server data, including built count, max allowed, and current remaining builds.
Bug and feature intake hardening
Bug reports and feature requests now dedupe onto a single active engineering thread instead of spawning conflicting duplicate fixes, while still preserving each in-game submission.
