About Colonial Conquest

Colonial Conquest is a conquest simulation set in the Victorian age of warfare and expansion of the late 1800's and early 1900's. The object of the game is to become the dominant major power throughout the world. Players can be one among six of the great powers of the time: Great Britain, Germany, France, USA, Japan or Russia.
Features

- Return to the era of Golden Warfare and rule one of handful of powers which had been shaping the face of our present world.
- Sail, ride and march across the globe as your nation flexes its military and economic muscles.
- Supplement brawn with subterfuge and use cloak and dagger tactics such as subversion and espionage.
- Compete with the European hegemons in their final golden days before they engulfed the world in the flames of the first global war.
- Play as one of the then two raising behemoths: the United States of America or Imperial Japan; or as one of the main European power to roll them back within their boundaries.
- Play against the AI or other human claimants to the mastery of our planet.

More about the game
You win by either scoring the most Victory Points (VPs) or being the first to reach a certain preset VP threshold, depending on scenario and custom choices in the main menu. To do so, you must capture regions over the world, and defeat your enemies in battle.

The world has about 130 regions open to conquest. The regions have variable income and VP values (set randomly in the Standard scenario) and unknown until conquered or spied upon. Each region not owned by a Major Power usually has an independent Minor country owning and defending it.

Each Major country is controlled by a human player or the computer, or is designated neutral and then acts as a Minor country.
Hotseat play is possible, with an option to limit to 4.00 minutes the playing time per player.
Each game turn represents roughly one season.
Game lasts till victory conditions are achieved.

Scenarios: game offers 3 scenarios: one starting in the year 1880 with an historical setting, one in 1914 with historical positions, and an open ca-1870 standard where nation only own their starting home territories (free-for-all non-historical)

The game has 3 main phases, each player entering them in sequence, i.e. Build Phase (Spring only, with: Army & Navy Construction, Fortification, Economic Aid, Espionage, Subversion), Movement Phase (Army & Navy), and Combat Phase.

Gameplay of each phase is rather simple and straightforward, as follows:

- Army and Navy Build Phase (Spring): Create new armies and fleets in your Supply Centers
- Fortification Phase (Spring): Fortify army units (except in Supply Centers which are already fortified).
- Economic Aid Phase (Spring): Lend money to other Major countries; which is added to their Treasury. Or Lend money to neutral Minor countries; which they use immediately to build armies.
- Espionage Phase (Spring): Learn the approximate (not always accurate) army strength and the income of a Minor country or of an region controlled by a Major country. And the region’s VP value
- Subversion Phase (Spring): Spend money to bribe a Minor country's army, weakening the country's defense or causing a coup (giving you control of the said country in return).
- Movement Phase (All turns): Move armies to adjacent regions only. Move navies alone or with armies from one port to another (or carry regiments to amphibious landings on enemy holdings).
- Combat Phase (All turns): up to twenty rounds of battle; each consists of naval (if ships are present) then land battles

For those old enough this is a remake of a classic. Some small bugs exist but not to the detrement of the game (unlike the original lol). Credit where its due not perfect but a brillant attempt. Maybe a CC II with new ideas could be written?

I loved the original when I was a teenager 25 years ago! The only thing that let's it down is the settings menu while playing is corrupt and unreadable

Spin of a old SSI game. Does have some bugs and errors and is lacking supporting information. Fun game if you are into turn based strategy games.

I played this game in the late 80s early 90s and fell in love with it. The designers have brought back a classic and at 3.99 it's a steal.

An incredibly enjoyable reworking of a (for those of us old enough to remember the original) classic. Worth every penny of the very cheap price. Full credit to the developers for an excellent reworking at a bargain price.

Bare bone grand strategy game. Fun, but simple. Maybe a bit too simplistic. Would improve much by adding more (or some) diplomacy. Graphics are a bit buggy when entering the menu from ingame. Not something thats bothering while playing though.

How can I invade a country with 250 and only one guy can defend the entire island and kill everyone.

When I open it and start the game it close again I don't know why I have sumsung s3

F70%
by F####:

Seems like an excellent game. Not sure why it doesn't have more purchases. Probably because the makers aren't ripping you off with £80 in app purchases.

Nice game have a great potential still needs to work on its graphic, gameplay and bugs

M70%
by M####:

The Fortification system feels broken. You need more than 10x the troops to take over a fortified area. PLEASE FIX!

by K####:

Fantastic game if you like European conquer and world conquer games then you will definitely like this. Been looking for a game just like this

by K####:

I am not the first one to think that this is probably a really cool game hiding behind a complete lack of tutorial and a JOKE of a "manual." I will gladly change my rating appropriately if this is taken care of.

One of the best strategy games I ve seen on Android outside of Plague. Slick and we'll realised. You play one of six nations in a world conquest using troops, fleets, subversion, spies.

Looks like fun, but I have no idea how to play. No tutorial, and the only manual is a link to a web page with an embedded file of some sort that is pretty hard to read.

Really good game... And you can play Russia! !

Great game, well put together. Takes a game or two to pick it up.

It opened once, but after that it never loads past the splash screen. Took just long enough so I couldn't get a refund.
