Illyriad is a free to play[2] massively multiplayer online persistent browser-based strategy game developed by the UK software company Illyriad Games Ltd, the company's first full online strategy game,[1] first released in beta in 2010,[3] and launched in 2011.[4]

Unlike many browser games, there is no set goal. The game is played on an infinite-round basis—there are no resets planned.[1][5]

Illyriad was showcased in the Mozilla Labs 2010 Game On Gallery[6] and an IGF 2012 Main Competition Entrant.[7]
