Pollute & Conquer

Pollute & Conquer is a strategy game about ecological choices and territorial competition. You and your opponent claim land, build on it and develop technologies, balancing wealth and influence against pollution. If both players make mistakes, the world dies and you both lose.

The world and its resources

The game takes place on a planet-like world resting on a giant turtle and wandering through space. An economic war over territory and resources threatens the world with pollution. You can pursue prosperity through polluting industry or develop ways to clean the world and prevent its destruction.

Claim territory

Spend accumulated money or influence to buy neutral or enemy cells. You can surround your opponent or expand to the other side of the map, choosing terrain that suits your plans: river, forest, desert, hill, snow or ocean.

Build and develop

Buildings are suited to particular terrain and use its advantages or contend with its disadvantages. You can adapt to your opponent by building polluting, neutral or cleaning facilities that use coal, oil, river flow, nuclear power, sun, wind, fusion power or hydrocarbon cleaning. You can also upgrade building technologies, reduce the pollution caused by coal, make solar power more profitable than coal, develop advanced hydrocarbon capture or open a new era of thermonuclear energy.

Pollution and competition

Coal and oil can bring wealth quickly, but pollution causes disasters that threaten both players. Alternatively, you can clean the world to avoid dying and gain substantial influence. Earn money and influence to win, survive difficult situations by countering your opponent's strategies, and use pollution-driven chaos to disrupt their plans and capture their territory.

Game modes and maps

You can play with a friend on the same device, competing through different strategies shaped by the map, your opponent's actions and disasters. Several AI difficulty levels range from beginner-friendly to challenging. Choose from several map sizes: small maps take 15–20 minutes, while large maps take 40–60 minutes.
