Pax Britannica
How to PlaySelect a ship and choice either human or computer AI. The game starts if more than one ship is selected.Touching your game area (Left screen for player 1, right screen for player 2) spins the needle on the radial menu in the middle of the player's factory ship. The needle will only travel as far as the player's current resources allow. Resources (gold? seaweed? who knows!) accumulate over time.Releasing the touch creates a ship that corresponds to the quadrant that the needle is pointing at.
Fighter: Small, fast and cheap. Great at chasing down bombers.Bomber: Shoots slow projectiles that do massive damage to frigates or enemy factory ships!Frigate: A great hulk of a ship that fires volleys of heat-seeking torpedoes. Effective against fighters.Upgrade: Improve your factory ship to accumulate resources more quickly.
Ships you spawn fight automatically using the latest in artificial aquatelligence technology. The player who keeps their factory ship alive wins!

This is one of the few games that allow two player playing vs each other on the same device. Wish it had pvp on phone vs phone though.
Would be cool to have different maps also great game
Not nicely playable on the phone.
Some people expect the best out of every app. This game is simple and fun. I have been playing this app for over 4 years. When i got 5min to kill, this is my go to game. It's perfect the way it is. This is not a sit down and play for 5 hrs straight type of game. Deserves 5 stars.
Needs more features . Add a coop model where players have to fight a giant factory that increases jn difficulty per wave. Or add a team vs team mode, and maybe a mode that maxes out factories so you can spam endless amounts of vehicles
Certainly not for everyone but I find this a good 1 player game and 2 player game, not sure about 3+4 though. The battles are like a rock paper scissors kinda style with many strategy's that can be used. There are a few issues that I have like there being no pause button and inability to exit the countdown without closing the game. To improve you could have 2 factory's on the same team and I think this could be a successful online multiplayer game as well. Google achievements would also be appreciated. Definitely recommended to people who might like this sorta thing.
Very easy to pick up and play. Better yet, teaching your friends how to play is quick and simple. No need to waste time explaining the game's rules. I love the simplicity of it all too. For people complaining that there isn't enough variety, well they obviously don't get the point. The point is to make a simple RTS that people can learn quick and that is easy to pick up and play. I think it is perfect as it is, but a sequel would be AWESOME!!!
Gameplay is well thought out. I love this game. The only downside is the repetitiveness. It's a game on mobile that's a given. And free. But can't shake the feeling Pax Britannica could be so much more. I'm definitely a fan for sure so here's hoping for a big update in the future. Thanks for making this and keeping it free.
Seems like my frigates don't fire as often as the opponent and also seems like most of my forces fight off screen. Fighter or frigate spam keeps wiping me out. Does it matter I keep playing as blue? I tried restarting phone but didn't seem to fix it. Human error? Side note, like the others, I too hope for storyline. I enjoy the game even with the odd problem.
Its ok. Gets boring after 20 minutes. It does nothing else that challanges my intellect.
I have No idea how I came across this game but I am glad I did. It's a Very simple game that can be played anytime.
Game is awesome, original and simple. Only downside is the lack of depth. It can definitely uses more upgrades, added length of gameplay, a little of diversity and it would be one of the better games out there. This is a diamond in the rough. Am waiting for the updates!
Simple and quick. Its nice to see a game not overstep their game play. I would love to see what else these guys could do.
This is a simple fun addictive game that will have you and your friends playing for hours.
A very good game, but not much to it. Fun little time waster but there seems like so much potential for more here. Fun gameplay, although lacking in depth.
but very limited in execution. Good soundtrack, but no gameplay sound. Needs achievement sound. Needs achievement display. Needs indication of success, or failure. Sorry, but after a few plays, this game doesn't encourage further investment of time.
The only problem is that the AI builds too many frigates. Even on hard it's really easy to win once you know how.
I adore the artwork and the simple play-style, but after awhile it loses its edge. With a campaign mode and/or an improved skirmish mode, it could be great. Still, fun for time wasting.
1 touch controls are creative. Good fun to play with a friend to kill time.
Good game. After many years still 50.000 + downloads. Shame on google play ranking system. Even spammy apps make more downloads.
Although you do have to think and get the combination of wait time vs number of ships in the field.. It doesnt go beyond that.. Not so interesting..
Too much potential with very little follow through.
The sinking off ships could be better and screen fading take to long, graphics are good tho, fun to play :)
I always use this game as an example of a proper mobile gameplay design - fun to play without any complex huge UI.
