Cyber Nations Tournament Edition (often abbreviated as CN:TE) is a variant of Cyber Nations which is more focused on wars. The game resets every several months. It originally came out of limited testing beta on December 9, 2006 but was later shut down several months later. It was restarted on July 31, 2009 by admin for 200 nations in Alpha testing. The gameplay on both Tournament Edition and Standard Edition is extremely similar, however there are also several differences (see below).
