Game Description
Gatewars: Origins is a 100 percent free, turn based, massively multiplayer online text based game derived from Gatewars.
Origins came to light around the first of February 2009. It is different from Gatewars in several ways, it is designed to be simpler, slower, and return to the roots of Gatewars.
Origins has fewer unit types, but just as many weapons. The attack system has been changed as well, so that every time you login there is something for you to do.
So join the fight with and against hundreds of players in a persistent realm.
Pick one of four races, each with their own advantage.
Build your army, join your friends and crush your foes.
