your Foes, Exercise your Brain – This is Conquest!

Matrix Games, Slitherine Strategies, and Illustrious Studios are pleased to

from Matrix Games for a download price of just $19.99.

David Heath,
Director of Operations at Matrix Games, said “Conquest! has just the
right mix of wargaming flare and brain-teasing challenge. Everyone from armchair
general veterans to puzzle fans will enjoy the easy-to-learn hard-to-master
gameplay found in Conquest!

Conquest!
Medieval Realms

is a turn-based game that combines the pure strategic gameplay of chess and the
key principles of military strategy in a historical setting.  The objective is
to conquer up to 7 opposing AI or human players by defeating their armies and
capturing their lands.

To gain
supremacy, players will need to unite their spread out lands, build a roaring
economy, and raise powerful armies to divide and conquer their enemies.  Boost
your income via markets and mines, upgrade your armies with stables and archery
fields, or amass a large force, but sound strategy and careful thought will help
you more than brute force.

Rows of
castles and towers can help to stave off attacks while flanking maneuvers around
mountains and terrain can surround and destroy foes. Tactics and long term
strategy are essential to success as each battle will play out differently
across an endless random map generator.  For players looking to create their own
tactical teasers, an easy-to-use map editor is also available for the creation
of custom scenarios and campaigns.
