Play Conquest Of The New World Online

Conquest of the New World is a turn-based strategy game released for MS-DOS in 1996. It was developed by Quicksilver Software, Inc. and published by Interplay Entertainment Corp. The game presents a bird's-eye view of its world and shares thematic and mechanical similarities with other strategy titles focused on exploration and empire building.

Players begin the game by arriving at the shores of a new continent with a ship and a contingent of units. The primary objective involves establishing a foothold in this land, which requires making contact with indigenous populations. Players must choose how to interact with these groups, with options ranging from initiating trade to engaging in military conflict. Progression is structured around expanding territorial control, managing resources, and developing settlements over a series of turns.

Unit control employs a distinct system where players click and drag an arrow from a unit to a destination, after which the unit moves there automatically. Core gameplay systems include exploration of the uncharted map, tactical combat when engagements occur, and economic management through trade and colony development. The game's pace is determined by player decisions within this turn-based framework, as they balance diplomatic and aggressive strategies to achieve dominance in the new world.
