Conquest of the New World
Description
Conquest of the New World puts you in control of a native civilization or an expeditionary force from one of five European countries. Compete against other players in the hopes of establishing control of the New World during the sixteenth century. Not a game that simulates the actual discovery and colonization of the Americas, Conquest of the New World is generated at the beginning of each game and each New World (and game) is therefore unique.
Your job is to explore the New World, establish thriving colonies, produce and trade goods and eliminate your enemies or defend your claims from your opponents. Each player sets his own objectives for each game. For some players, winning the game may primarily involve finding lots of new landmarks in the New World and establishing many colonies.
The Deluxe Edition adds several new features to the game. Primarily it adds the option to create and play scenarios and customize the world. In addition, nations now have different bonuses, several special resources and discoveries have been added and you can form trade alliances with other nations.

This is no Colonization for sure
I remember some time in the mid-90s I found a demo of this game on some disc or another. After a few hours of learning the ropes I thought that this may be worth a try, but never really followed up on that thought until I saw the game on sale on GOG. Unfortunately, this is one of those games that has some nice features, but what you would mostly notice is not what it has, but what it does not when compared to similar games of the same era. I liked the land combat system, as an attempt to get beyond the usual combat of these kind of games, but why, oh why did they not bother with doing anything with the naval combat, which makes no sense whatsoever. I enjoy the colony management part and the way that special resources have areas of 'influence' which impact your production, but why did the designers not have a ledger/advisors system, such as in the Civ games of the same period to make management easier. Being able to name landmarks is a nice touch, but it does not trump the fact that diplomacy system is dull and pointless, while diplomacy with the Indians is non-existent. I could go on, as for every nice feature there are two or three which are missing or badly implemented. Having sank 70+ hours into it I have genuinely tried to like this game, but I don't think I can manage that. Which is disappointing as there are good ideas here, just not enough for a complete game. But at least it was cheap, so what can I do but shrug and get back to Colonization for this particular theme.
