I didn't check out the game, but finding out is pretty simple: Right-click the map. If the context menu that pops up says Flash or Silverlight, that is what it is. If it doesn't, it is something else (Unity has a specific loading screen, and most people don't have the plugin and therefore have to get it, so that one is usually pretty obvious). To determine if it is Javascript and HTML4, check out the page's source. If it has a HTML4, crazy-long DocType, it is an HTML4 page. If it has a simple DocType like <!DOCTYPE HTML>, it may be HTML5, but to be sure, scroll down to where the map "is" in the page's code and see if there is a <canvas> element there. If there is, you can be pretty sure it is HTML5.

What the heck kind of homepage is that? It's completely wasting valuable realestate.
I didn't register, but I clicked "News and Update" and followed the link to YouTube, it says this in the YouTube description:
