Take the reins of a budding empire as you struggle against others to rule the world. Will your legacy rest within the pages of history books, or be trampled down into the mud? Conquer all of Europe through a multitude of scenarios–from prehistoric to futuristic–as you vie for supremacy of the region. Age of Conquest is an expansive and intriguing take on the strategy genre that is sure to please wargame fanatics and casual gamers alike.
Gameplay
Age of Conquest is a turn-based strategy game in the tradition of war-themed boardgames such as Risk, where players can choose from a range of different eras and empires to play through, from Ancient Egyptian civilization, all the way to a futuristic zombie apocalypse. Take the throne as the new ruling monarch of your chosen empire as you fight other nations to expand your reach and gain control of the map.
The goal of each game is to earn points by conquering other nations and areas of the map. Victory may be claimed by either reaching 100 points, or eliminating all the other rulers. You will alternately lose the game if your own ruler is defeated.
The structure of the game is turn-based, with each turn featuring actions such as collecting funds and taxes, giving orders to your troops, building defenses, and viewing the progress of your rivals. The amount of gold and move points alloted to execute your orders are limited, so careful planning and strategy must be used to successfully expand your territory.
Ruling Your Empire
Growing your tiny area of the map into a vast, sprawling empire can be daunting; here are some key gameplay elements that will aid you in your task:
* Choose your campaign options carefully. The campaign setup screen features a wealth of options that can drastically change the way each game is played. Experiment with different difficulties, game modes, or other options to find which settings work best for you.
* Lead your army into battle. Age of Conquest allows players the option of having their ruler take a direct hand in invading and conquering your neighbors. Doing so will result in a significant boost to attack and defense scores, but be careful–if your ruler is defeated, it’s game over!
* Maintaining a large army can be quite a drain on your resources. Consider raising your taxes to pay your troops and keep them in the fight. There is a catch, however–increased taxes will reduce the morale of your population, which can lead to a reduced overall income in the long run.
* Fortify your defenses to stand fast against your enemies. Building watch towers on your borders will allow you to view the size of armies positioned in nearby areas, as well as the presence of any rulers. Build additional fortifications to add powerful defensive bonuses to your army.
Game Modes
Age of Conquest features two different game modes which change the win criteria for the game. In the default, Standard setting of the game, you must win by capturing the majority of all provinces on the map, or by defeating all enemy rulers. In World Domination mode, you will not be victorious until you have conquered every last province on the entire map. In both modes, additional territory may be gained through diplomatic means during gameplay, affecting your final score to varying degrees.
