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.
The game is one of my favourites, the gameplay and atmosphere by the jingles of the admirals are unreached!
BUT BEWARE you need to have a Windows of 32bit as the game is using 16bit!
If you have a 32 Bit Windows you can enable it by doing the following:

Otherwise, the game only runs in a virtual machine, like VirtualBox!
One of those simple RTS games that only have 3 available races, which makes balancing them off fairly easy task. Aestethically gives off both Star Trek and Starship Troopers kinda vibes. Would recommend if your looking for a quick and relaxing fun, not an overly ambitious gaming endevour.
Haha, in the last mission, if you fail it, the game will wipe out all of your campaign progress forcing you to start the whole campaign from square one. No warning! That is hillarious!
I stumbled across this game many years, while visiting a colleague of mine. He lend me the game and eventually gave it to me as a present because I was really excited about it. So excited... There are no words to explain.
The story and campaign are well done, detailed diverse and just nice to play. But in my opinion, the true feature of this game is to play other races than Terran, Mantis as my favourite.
Mantis are exactly the way I like to fight: Stick behind and send thousands of minions or in this case, fighters onward to eliminate the enemy. While their economy is very interesting with the mutating buildings, their ships are unmatched when it comes to long range fighting.
Celareons are interesting to play against multiple and/or strong opponents as they're heavily defensively focused. Although their ships don't take that much of a big punch, their battle stations are even better in this manner. With their technology they can eliminate an enemy from behind, from the inside.
The game itself offers much replay-ability, although it could have been done better if there were a map/galaxy editor.
All in all a very good game and definitely worth buying. Please also note that if we, the community press on and on, the former devs perhaps think about developing the planned but abandoned CFW 2.
I would really like to see this and it would be cool if you could support them too.
