Webrowser Strategy Game
If there is one thing the Germans are good at, it's keeping the French in their place.
But if there is another thing they are good at, it is writing sim/strategy/planning/management-type games, preferably with numbers and resources and stuff. I've been playing just such a multiplayer SimVillage-type game - Travian - for a week or so, and it is fun, with an attractive and simple web-browser interface.
My village of Romans finds itself near to some unpleasant-looking Teuton raiders from another player, but my economic base is sound and I am gambling a wall and a bunch of praetorian guards will see him taking his brand of Allemanic hi-jinks elsewhere. No Varus I, my legions will not be heading off into a swampy wood for him to pick off any time soon.
