Game Description

In Konkwest your world domination campaign takes a single session. Take control of a country, and shape its history turn by turn. Plan its developments, its conquests, and its defenses. Make your plans simultaneously with all other countries and see them change the world.

Unlike most games of the genre, Konkwest presents a globe instead of a flat map to play on. The game focuses on no particular historical period and allows players to choose from a broad list of starting scenarios ranging from various years in history, to completely fictional settings, and ones players can add themselves through modifications.

While the game is easy to pick up for veteran strategy gamers, it is also quickly learned by people unfamiliar with the genre. This is in part thanks to its single-resource economy, minimizing the amount of statistics players need to keep track of to play effectively.

Other aspects that make Konkwest stand out are that it allows players to create and play any countries they want, as well as its multiplayer mode, where players can choose to work together or conspire against each other to achieve their aims of global domination.
