Reviewed by: CNET Staff
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.Publisher's description
From IronZog :Wage war with hundreds of other players and win money in this multiplayer online strategy game. Build your nation, forge alliances, develop technologies, capture resources, and battle for possession of the ancient Orbs scattered throughout the lands. The longer you possess an Orb, the greater your prize winnings grow. Over $70,000 awarded so far. Players can purchase game credits, which can be used to give their nation special technologies and abilities.
Version 1.27 includes changes to game roles and improves game balance. It also adds the option for players to use Moneybookers.com as their payment provider.

Version: War of Conquest 1.27
"Addicting TBS, but too much randomness"
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.

Version: War of Conquest 1.27
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.

Version: War of Conquest 1.27
Pros: The teamwork and the game style.

Version: War of Conquest 1.27
"Immersive game, not for masses definitely"
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.
