Kriegsland hasn't got much love in a long time. The game I mentioned earlier has likewise been left as is, people laughed at the legion of crabs concept. That, and my design was a little inflexible. I disregarded all OOD for the sake of performance but I ended up with one massive file which made adding new features a headache. I may come back to it later but for now look at this: http://vaadin.com/home
Vaadin is a brilliant new tech which provides a complete infrastructure for a Servlet based GWT Rich Internet Application. Now what that means is you can make a really awesome looking web based game for little to no real effort on the infrastructure side. That's the theory anyway. I've been working on some sample apps and it seems great so far, it shares all of the easy UI generation of GWT alongside a lot of built in visual themes and it manages things like the Session for you.
I'll report back with some specific examples but it really seems like technology is starting to catch up with my ideas.
