Product Overview

Conquest of the New World

The year is 1493. Each turn constitutes a year. The objective of the game is to discover, conquer, and colonize America within a specific time frame. Each player is sent out on a mission for their beloved king. The players have the option of competing as either Native Americans or one of five different countries: England, France, Spain, Holland, and Portugal. The players must engage in colonization, battles, trade, and charge taxes to build a nation and receive points. Up to six players can play either together in the same room, over a network via hot-seat, or over a modem (IPX, serial and modem connection are supported).

Players may play a Tutorial game which contains only two missions: to establish landfall and discover three major landmarks in the New World, and discover a colony. They also have the option of customizing a game. Each player takes a turn and when the player has exhausted all of their explorers, then the player must end their turn by pressing the End Turn button. Between each turn, the computer must set up the scenario which takes a few minutes. However, for entertainment between each turn, a newspaper with information concerning the status of the missions and historical facts about that particular time pop up on the screen. The king's expectations and opinions of the players are contained in messages which pop up between turns, as well. Game scores can be accessed through the main menu at any time during the game.

The graphics and sound effects are superb. Sounds are played throughout the game. During exploration, sounds of birds and running water fill the air. During colonization, sounds of people talking are heard. The battlefields are filled with gunfire sounds. These effects make players feel like they are really in the game. The graphics are filled with vivid bright colors. The land is a bright green, water is indicated by bright blue, the cabins are brown, rocks and mountainous terrain are a gray color, the humans are dressed in the appropriate attire, such as uniforms, and there are many more graphical features. 

Features:

• A game of exploration, deception, conquest and victory
• Cross treacherous seas in search of the New World
• Single or multiplayer strategy game
• Up to six people can play over a network, or players can go head-to-head over a modem
