New Game Colonial Conquest

Post by Alan Sharif »

Out in two days time, apparently. Are these a new company. I have not heard of them before. A lot of detail. The name hints at an Avalon Hill connection.

My mistake, this title has been out for a few years. I have just never heard of it, or the publisher.

Wow! I thought I knew about most of the main wargame sites out there but I've never heard of any of the games on that site. They look like pretty standard wargames, the sort of stuff Matrix produces.

It lists prices in foreign currency no idea how much they cost in US Dollars.

I bought the game back in Feb. on a Steam sale. It is okay and $5 U.S. would be a worthwhile deal.

Glad I am not the only one who was unfamiliar with this publisher. Thanks for your support. I must confess, I felt a bit of a tit after posting, then seeing my mistake. :)

Their Battles For Spain quad, out in a couple of days, looks a lot like WAW. I shall be picking it up if the price is right.

I like them for their casual war strategy games on IOS (now that Slitherine has bailed out of that market):

Not exactly what I what I would play on PC .... but fun to pull out the iPAD while waiting for the wife in the supermarket parking lot to play a little Tannenberg 1914 or Vikings vs England [:)]

ORIGINAL: Aurelian

There was an SSI game by the same name.

Looks like a remake of that fantastic old SSI game. Same or similar mechanics with updated UI and graphics.

I played in Colonial Conquest, it is available also on Steam. It is simple wargame, rather in terms of Risk, but quite fun. This game holds the atmosphere of colonial times, thanks to music and graphic style. I can recommend it :) And yes - this is remake of old SSi game in the same title.
