Take on the role of a major country during World War II. You will control your country's production, trade, research, espionage, and command your troops in battle. Can you do as well as your historical counterpart? Or do you want to explore "what ifs" to see how history could have been changed. The entire world is included in the game. Want to attack Brazil? The choice is yours.
The game starts on the eve of the Germany invasion of Poland on September 1, 1939, and covers the war until September 2, 1945. If you want, you can keep playing after that date, and go on to conquer the world!
Destiny of the World is a simultaneous turn-based game. Each turn is 1 week of historical time. You plan your orders for the week, while the computer AI makes its plans against you. Then the orders play out simultaneously in real-time.
