Mankind has finally learned how to explore the outer regions of space using wormhole technology, but Man is not alone in the Void. Two other races are also exploring and exploiting the cosmos for its resources and living space: the Mantis, an insect-like race whose technology relies on large numbers of quick fleets, and the Celaerans, beings of energy cursed by their creators to spend their lives in strange, armored canisters. Expand your fleet, explore your universe, and crush your opponents!
Conquest: Frontier Wars features large-scale fleet battles, intelligent fleet admirals who serve under your command as hero units, and pulse-pounding deep space RTS Sci-Fi gameplay! Manage your supply lines while waging war in multiple maps simultaneously. Don’t let your fleets collapse because as the old maxim states: your fleet is your fate.
Oversee up to 16 interplanetary battle maps at once through the cunning use of wormholes.
Enter a new dimension of strategic possibilities with the supply line management system.
Command up to 6 highly intelligent fleet admirals who implement your orders, assess threats, and react with organized tactics.
One of the best sci-fi RTS games of its time. Good stroryline and cutscenes, nice effects (damaged ships look really good), and a well thought out resource and gameplay system (HERO Units were awesome :D ). This was a very good looking game in its time (but it's quite bad by todays standards).
It's similar to Sins of a Solar Empire but it focuses more on the story.
I don't have much to say, other than this is still a great RTS. I recommand the game for LAN parties. I had to support the game when I learned that they plan to release the source code for CQ1 and CQ2. Buy this is you like space and RTS. BTW: You can run this game in 1920x1080 or higher if you don't run the game with win95 compatibility settings.
This is one of the most underrated rts games I have ever played. It is a jewel. It was WAY ahead of its time in both graphics, presentation, functionality, gameplay and single player campaign / storyline. Its single player campaign is at the same level as the original Starcraft. It made you want to keep playing, just to see what happens in its universe. It is an epic space opera with a VERY original storyline and proprietary universe and its gameplay is amazingly fun and always interesting. And when I say its on the same level as the original Starcraft, I mean it. The single player campaign builds an entire universe with its own history, dogma and canon. It unfolds it in a way that only great story tellers can. GET THIS GAME and you will not regret it.
Sadly, this game was not marketed AT ALL by Ubisoft (arguably one of the worst developers in history imo; they have a bad track record. Ask anybody.). I remember seeing one postage sized ad for it in PC GAMER magazine when I was young, and thats it. After the launch of the game Ubisoft, in standard Ubisoft fashion, abandoned the game and support for it was close to non existent. Another sad story about an amazing game completely killed by its production company. This was an rts game that was created in a lul for the genre. Starcraft was aging and nothing new or good was being produced at the time. This game was however, and it seemed to slip through the cracks and past the radar. If it was properly supported by Ubisoft, we could have had sequels and who knows what else.
Buy this gem if you enjoy space rts games. Its an amazing gem.
I love games such as Command and Conquer, Emperor: Battle for Dune, Age of Empires, and other new strategy games. In the end though, this game has always held high on my list of favorite games. The storyline is beyond fantastic, and the intuitive control of multiple star systems (maps) while incorporating the use of admirals to help manage your fleet all while combating a very ferocious game AI lead to an amazing game experience. For those who love the games that I mentioned above, this game is for you!
Oh, I find it important to note, that I am only able to play this game on my Windows 7 based PC's. Windows 8, 8.1, and 8.1 pro do not work...as they crash on startup. Also, on windows 7, the game runs very well..bar one exception. The UI lags and is a bit sluggish. This is easily overcome by adjusting the cursor settings and the game speed. All is well!
Enjoy!
Initially, it did not work on win10, but after altering the conquest.ini file per instructions on the gog forum and youtube, it works great so far. Loved this game in middle school back when the graphics were too much for my cruddy PC. Now I can play on those huge maps, lol.
