Im noticing a common theme in games like these. I have played various games like this, they all seem to ave the same layout among other things. Are al of these games owned by the same parent?

depends, what are you trying to say

From the majority of browser based strategy game i have played are all the same.. With one exception battle dawn, the idea that you can see squads moving and nukes, gates, radar and much more brings so much into the game that you wont find elsewhere. (At least in a browser based form)

Myself i love battle dawn and think it is unique.

not to mention the majority role of alliance and communication, which is wat keep us coming back even after years of quitting...

there is a simular game to this called War Commander you probaly noticed on my top 5 i like it more than bd about 2%. war commander has no ticks and ur tanks move around, deposits -oil,metal, u can go in your base and add turrets to defend from attacks as well as units on the base than in storage... Yes its on facebook so u need fb to play it.

bd is unique but is simular to backyard monsters, total destruction and social wars.

i would go on but i have said enough!

Don't facebook games give you energy or something to use for moves.. Which annoys me :L

i made a facebook account once just to play battle pirates, was the best game ive ever played on a browser by far

what about bd?!

uhh... i'd say its in the top 10

i didnt like battle pirates, i didnt understand how to make more boats and take off turrets and but missile launchers on.. The i left it, u should really play war commander instead! ...
