Colonial Conquest (2015)

Colonial Conquest places you at the helm of a burgeoning empire during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a period of unprecedented global expansion and technological advancement. As one of six great powers – Great Britain, Germany, France, the USA, Japan, or Russia – your objective is to dominate the world stage by leveraging military might, economic prowess, and cunning diplomacy. This strategic simulation challenges you to navigate the intricate geopolitical landscape, from building powerful armies and navies to employing espionage and subversion to undermine rivals and secure vital territories. With around 130 regions ripe for conquest, each offering unique strategic value and income potential, you'll engage in turn-based gameplay, progressing through distinct phases of construction, movement, and combat across seasonal cycles. The game offers compelling replayability through its three distinct scenarios, each presenting a unique starting point in history. Whether you choose the historical foundations of 1880 or 1914, or opt for a free-for-all in 1870, the core loop involves strategic planning and tactical execution. Victory can be achieved by accumulating the most Victory Points or by being the first to reach a predetermined threshold, achieved through territorial acquisition and successful battles. Colonial Conquest offers a deep and engaging experience for both solo players challenging the AI and for groups of friends competing in hotseat multiplayer, providing a rich simulation of the "Golden Age of Warfare" and the dawn of global conflict.
