Editor's review of War of Conquest

• "Simplified Civilization/Risk mix"

• Reviewed by: CNET Staff
• Version reviewed: War of Conquest 1.27

Conquer the world and win cash prizes in this surprisingly addictive (and free) online multiplayer strategy game. War of Conquest's low-res graphics and turn-based action recall the early versions of Civilization. You start with a small territory and try to expand it by conquering neighboring territories or earning points through agriculture. Battles, unfortunately, were disappointing. Too often we saw a vastly more powerful civilization lose to a weaker opponent. The game's graphics and sound are weak points, too. So what's the attraction? In short, money. Capture enough "orbs" on the map, and you can exchange them for real cash prizes. If you're the impatient or affluent type, you also can use real dollars to buy advanced technology for your civilization. War of Conquest probably isn't for casual players, but strategy buffs looking for a real payoff may find it irresistible.

  Version: War of Conquest 1.27

  "Addicting TBS, but too much randomness"

  by Valentin_ on June 8, 2006

  Pros: The gameplay is deep and complex. It has more technologies than even Civilization series. One can spend really a lot of time with it.

  Cons: The battle too much rely on random factor. This makes conquest very tiring, unless you are trying to capture a nating which is far behind you in development. Also, its help system doesn't cover all of the aspects of the game deep enough, so you still have lots of questions until you ask more experienced players.

  "Not for the masses"

  by kctipton on May 26, 2006

  Pros: Not that hard to play, but it can take lots of time to master the strategies that work well. The Mac download is small compared to the Windows one ;) Visit the warofconquest.com site to find the link.

  Cons: Chews up the CPU every time you take an action on the virtual map. Forums are full of misinformation. Online documents are much better.

  "Good game"

  by Mr.Window on August 25, 2007

  Pros: The teamwork and the game style.

  "Immersive game, not for masses definitely"

  by ageofreason on January 10, 2008

  Pros: It's an addicting game where you grow your territory and develop technologies.

  Cons: The battles are maybe too simple and abstract. Also, they take some time and while in a battle you can't influence it, you just passively wait and watch the bars until you or the enemy wins.
