Get War of Conquest for PC

War of Conquest is a massively multiplayer strategy game in which you found and develop a nation in a shared world with thousands of other players. You gather resources, expand across a single huge map and clash with neighboring nations over territory and treasure. Your long-term goal is to build your nation’s power and your own skills enough to capture and defend the mysterious Orbs of Power, artifacts scattered across the landscape.

Develop your nation

Your nation’s strength comes from its technological advances, gathered resources and alliances as well as its territory and defenses. You can choose from a wide range of technological and magical advances, forge alliances and rivalries, and build up your nation’s abilities. Nations gradually move east toward more valuable resources and the ultimate prize, the Orb of Fire.

All nations occupy the same map, so expanding or relocating means going around or through your neighbors. Land and defenses can be conquered, recaptured, rebuilt, destroyed and relocated, while advances, resources and alliances help sustain your nation’s power.

Attack and defend

The basic combat action is to click a square to attack it. The outcome between nations depends on their tech, bio and psi stats, which follow a rock-paper-scissors relationship: tech is strong against a similar bio stat but weak against a similar psi stat. Choosing opponents whose specializations are vulnerable to yours can give you an advantage.

You can develop, build and upgrade defensive structures, from walls to towers capable of launching large counter-attacks. Arrange defenses to protect captured Orbs and resources. Mid-level advances let you make many defenses invisible to enemies; opponents can search for them with Minesweeper-like tactics, and some can be disarmed by flanking.

Gather resources

Manpower and energy are the two main resources needed to attack and defend. Advances affect how quickly you generate them, as do special map locations such as Fresh Water and Geothermal Vents. Energy generation for sustaining defenses also depends on your nation’s geographic efficiency, a measure of how consolidated its territories are, so expansion must be balanced against spreading too thin.

Home island battles

Each nation has a home island as well as its mainland holdings. In a one-on-one matchmaking mode geared toward casual and solo players, you can defend your island and raid other nations’ islands to earn XP and more.
