History
=Social network=
The company started out as a social networking site called NetJovens for the Portuguese youth in 2004.
The project grew to a point where it gained the interest of the magazine publisher Edimpresa. In 2007, Edimpresa was a joint venture between the European publishing company Edipresse and Impresa a Portuguese media conglomerate. Edimpresa acquired a 51% majority stake of the company in October 2007 for close to one million euros.[http://www.meiosepublicidade.pt/2007/09/edimpresa-investe-1-milhao-em-netjovens-internet/ Edimpresa Investment] from Meios e Publicidade
In 2008, Netjovens.pt re-branded to Chilltime.com in attempt to make the Social networking site go international.[https://www.jornaldenegocios.pt/empresas/tecnologias/detalhe/impresa-digital-aposta-na-internacionalizaccedilatildeo-do-chilltimecom Internationalization] from Jornal de Negócios During this period the Impresa bought the remaining 50pct stake in Edimpresa from European publisher Edipresse.[http://www.impresa.pt/investor-relations Group History] from Impresa The 51pct stake of Chilltime now belonged to Portuguese media conglomerate Impresa.
In December 2009, the founder bought the 51pct stake owned by Impresa for an undisclosed amount. Impresa stated that the company no longer made sense in its portfolio considering international competition from social networking sites and that it would focus on its national businesses, the founder stated that in this new phase Chilltime would focus new projects that were not based on advertising model, neither on the Portuguese national market.[http://web3.cmvm.pt/sdi2004/emitentes/docs/FR27278.pdf IMPRESA Annual Report] from CMVM (Portuguese Securities Market Commission)

Players build multiple types of bases to produce four types of resources: money, food, bricks and grain which can then be used to train military units that can be used in offence and defense. The players can also invest in WWO-influence, a limited resource that can be used to create more bases, accelerate their upgrades or train strong units.{{Cite web|url=http://folhetos.lidl.pt/4a75fee6-df73-4f42-9e74-ec0eba2d73e9/html5.html#/14|title=Na vanguarda do futuro|website=Folhetos Lidl|access-date=30 December 2016|archive-date=20 December 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161220110233/http://folhetos.lidl.pt/4a75fee6-df73-4f42-9e74-ec0eba2d73e9/html5.html#/14|url-status=dead}}
