The structure of the financial and building systems makes it hard to maintain two good settlements during this exploration time, and too often turn after turn passes as you simply explore and build up the colony.
A new trade element in the Deluxe edition reduces this problem a bit, since it allows you to form trade alliances with other units on the map and have more sophisticated control over the flow of goods between colonies. But it still takes a long time to build a good force and starting attacking. Other new features in the Deluxe edition are expanded diplomacy, new bonuses depending on what nationality you play France has improved relations with natives, Holland gets extra money from gold, as so on , customizable world size, a scenario builder, and advanced game scenarios that set specific tasks.
While you can set parameters for customs maps the percentage of mountains, rivers, flatlands , you cannot create custom maps from scratch; all you get do is place forces and structures on randomly generated landscapes. If you already own the original, the Deluxe Edition doesn't offer a substantial enough enhancement to warrant purchasing it.
But if you missed Conquest the first time around, don't miss it now. Overall, an excellent, unique strategy game that should appeal to fans of Colonization. Two thumbs up! Screenshots from MobyGames.

You can read our online store guide. Some of these file may not be included in the game stores. MyAbandonware More than old games to download for free! Browse By When and if you finally declare independence, you will find the mother country more than willing to grind you into submission as wave upon wave of troop carriers arrive by sea to set you straight. With an included scenario builder, several customization features, random maps, and multiplayer capability this is one you will not tire of quickly.
Conquest of the New World may, indeed, only have one main fault, and that is that the middle game is a bit dull and far too long. Alot of time will be spent expanding your colonies and gathering resources. But, don't be discouraged. Once the battle for freedom begins, you will have more than enough to keep yourself occupied. The interface is mouse driven and easy enough that you may be able to skip the manual, very rare for a strategy game.
Replay Value: Definately worth playing again, especially since the random generator makes a new game each time. You can either attack them or start to trade with them similar to things like in Civilization or Colonization.
The control of your units is a new way of controlling. Once each nation discovers your colony, they will establish diplomatic relations. Depending on the country, the relations will be good, bad or neutral and are rated on a scale of 1 to 8 1 being the worst.
Occasionally, you'll notice the Colonial Gazette reporting that "France and Holland have decided to form an alliance" or some similar pronouncement. This happens from time to time with each of the different colonies and what once was peaceful can turn into all out war! Another very nice feature in the game is the ability to perform espionage or sabotage on another settlement. The option to spy on another country's settlement is very interesting and when you pull off a successful espionage mission, you gain knowledge of their defense, something that comes in handy if you're considering attacking them.
Not only can you spy on other countries but you can also sabotage specific facilities of each colony. For example, want to weaken the mining profits of a settlement for your benefit? Simply click on the sabotage icon and choose one of the metal mines of the selected colony.
This brings up an important aspect of Conquest of the New World: Deluxe Edition -- building your settlements. When you create your own colony, you have the option to build any one of nine separate buildings. If you wish, you can develop your colony manually, which requires close attention to detail and some work, or you can choose the Auto Colony function and let the computer develop it for you. The latter is the easiest option to use since it allows you to focus your efforts on your explorers and leave the colony to develop on its own.
However, just because the colony is on auto-build doesn't mean you'll never have to do anything to it. For example, it's wise to manually develop your army and take an active role in deciding which units to create.
Often the computer will not make a cavalry or artillery unit and these are very important factions of your army. Conquest of the New World can be a very long and detailed adventure or a short and ferocious battle. The Deluxe Edition adds more detailed diplomacy, natural wonders, lets you preset colonies and create your own populations. If you love long games that you can really sink your teeth into so to speak , then this is a game you must own.
You can create your own New World regardless of what history dictates.
