Welcome to TEQ3!

TEQ3 — Terra Est Quaestuosa — is a free-to-play, browser-based, massively multiplayer online strategy game that has been running continuously since 1999. You create a country, gather resources, build an economy, train an army, and compete against thousands of players across four game servers.

Every game round runs from two weeks to one month. You start with neutral turns protecting your new country, then build farms, industry, housing, and a military force capable of attacking neighbors and defending your own land. The global market lets you trade goods with other countries, while diplomacy and alliances determine who rises and who falls before the round ends.

Four servers offer different pacing and rules: the Team Server for organized team play, the Group Server for alliance politics, the Tournament Server for competitive ranking, and the Express Server for a fast 14-day round. You can play in short daily sessions or invest deeper — turns accumulate while you’re offline, so the game respects your schedule.

TEQ3 was originally built by Schoot Digital Productions and is now operated by PGMS Inc., a small studio in Canada. Twenty-five years of evolution has shaped the game into a deep, strategic experience — familiar to veterans, welcoming to newcomers, and unlike anything else on the modern web.

Hi everyone,

I’d like to take a moment to wish all TEQ players a Happy New Year.

This has always been a tradition here, and it’s one I want to keep alive. TEQ has been around for a long time because of its community - players who come back, who compete, who negotiate, who build stories round after round.

2025 marked a transition for TEQ, and 2026 will be about building on that foundation. Step by step, the goal is to keep the spirit of the game intact while preparing new things for the future.

Thank you for being here, for your patience, your feedback, and your passion for the game.

I wish you a great year ahead - both in TEQ and beyond.
See you in-game.

Hi everyone,

Welcome to the new TEQ servers!

As announced, we completed the infrastructure migration during yesterday’s maintenance window. TEQ is now running on a fully refreshed and more secure environment. This upgrade brings several improvements behind the scenes, especially related to account protection and password security.

Important:
For security reasons, all players will be asked to reset their password at their next login. This is a one-time step required to fully activate the new authentication system.

A smoother, safer TEQ
With this migration, TEQ now runs entirely over HTTPS, improving the security of all communications. Because of this change, you may notice some temporary anomalies - for example, a few images or assets that might not load correctly. This is normal right after such a transition, and we’ll be fixing these issues as quickly as possible.

Thank you for your patience!

Our goal is to make this transition as smooth as possible while preparing TEQ for long-term stability and future updates. If you encounter anything unusual, feel free to report it on the forum so we can address it promptly.

Thanks again for being part of TEQ — and welcome to this new chapter.

Hi everyone,
The servers will be unavailable tonight between aproximately 20:00 until 0:00 TEQ time. We will carry out the move of the server to the new infrastructure.
 

Dear players,

It's been a while that we have posted a news item on this page. And it's not even new year! So there must be something really important for us to share. That is indeed the case. For quite some years TEQ has been running by itself. We were the owners, but we did not take care of our game. It lead its own life.

There have been no new features, no upgrades, no fixes... And many of the original players said goodbye. Only a few brave and loyal fans have been sticking around.

At several moments we have asked ourselves the question: Should we stop the game? Should we switch off the server? But we always believed that at some point, at some day, perhaps we'll do something with it again. But that moment never came.

So, we were really happy and excited that at some point, early this year, we were approached by an old player, who showed interest in taking over TEQ and bringing some life back!

This player is Philippe Grandmont (alias Pvt Vandals) who's been around sinds the early 2000's. His company "PGMS inc.", which is a small development studio based in Canada, acquired TEQ.
We have been working with him for the past months to transfer all we know and have regarding TEQ, so he can actively start developing on TEQ again. Thank you Philippe for your patience with us and we're really looking forward to see how TEQ will evolve.

At this moment, nothing has changed yet, but in the near future, the game will "physically" move to a new hosting environment, which is owned by PGMS. We will do our best to make the
switch as smooth as possible. And quite possibly, we'll stick around a bit, just to see how everyone is doing.

It's been great and it will be great,
Thanks for sticking around!
Kama and MM
