The new War of Conquest is built using the Unity game engine, and features vastly improved graphics as well as many more strategic possibilities. Players are able to build a diverse array of defensive structures that can be combined in novel ways to protect the land, resources and orbs that their nation has captured from its rivals. The new game does not offer cash prizes as the original did — instead, the reward for capturing and holding the game world’s various orbs will be the earning of in-game currency, called credits, which may be used to buy resources, customizations, and special technologies that increase a nation’s power.

At its heart, War of Conquest retains the spirit of the original. The game continues to be about exploration, advancement, capturing and defending the land and resources needed to give your nation the edge in battle, and working both with and against other players to get ahead. The ultimate goal of the game is once again the pursuit of the game world’s rare and coveted Orbs of Power — the nations who can hold these Orbs gain in both power and the respect of their fellows.
