About Ages of Conflict: World War Simulator
Ages of Conflict: World War Simulator lets you watch AI‑controlled nations clash in a free‑for‑all quest for world domination. The game focuses on observation rather than direct strategic control, featuring alliances, revolts, puppet states and political twists.
Beyond the simulation, the title includes a robust map creator and God‑mode tools. You can edit borders, terrain, nation stats and AI behaviour at any time, and view detailed history and statistics of each simulation.
01 / THE GUIDE
Simulation Core
The core experience is an AI‑driven battle where nations vie for global control. Players watch the unfolding conflict, which can involve alliances, revolts and puppet states. The system is described as a massive free‑for‑all rather than a traditional strategy game.
The simulation runs continuously and can be saved at any point, allowing you to return later and review the world’s evolution. Statistics and a full history view let you analyse past events and extinct nations.
- Observe early alliances to anticipate later power shifts.
- Use the history view to spot patterns in AI behaviour.

Map Creator & God Mode
Ages of Conflict ships with premade maps and scenarios, but also provides tools for creating custom maps and borders of any complexity. You can edit terrain, nation statistics and AI parameters during a running simulation.
These tools let you craft historical, fantasy or entirely new worlds, and the changes persist as the simulation continues, potentially for thousands of years with the right settings.
- Start with a simple map to learn the editing interface.
- Experiment with AI behaviour tweaks to see varied outcomes.
