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.
  • Interesting gameplay featuring exploration, management and combat
  • Infinite replayability on customizable, computer-generated worlds
  • Discovering the uncharted during the Age of Exploration era

Yes, conquest is not optional.

I played this game back when the original came out, the deluxe version fixed some bugs (though sadly in combat a "charge-through" bug remains where enemy cavalry in their first attack can sometimes move into an occupied square, deleting the units there and delivering a devastating attack to your back lines) and added some great features. The AI, unsurprisingly, is not great. It is horrible at colony planning and places buildings without regard for bonuses. It inflates its populations by thousands above what it can usefully employ. It will build a single dock in each colony, meaning trade number and size are capped at a low level. However, it is very aggressive, and when you have three or four civilizations sending multiple armies your way every turn you can easily get swamped. Do not trust the other civilizations. They will stab you in the back just as soon as they feel they can get away with it. Destroy them all.

A Classic Reborn

I got the original (non-deluxe) version of the game in 1996 and when I played it, I didn't know what the hell was going on. 17 years later, I'm more mature and now that I've played it again, I still don't know what the hell is going on. ^_^ But it's still a fun game and I love every minute of it!

one of the goat games

I was recently in my basement looking around when I came across the empty box for the COTNW and instantly thought about all those afternoon and nights playing this game. so much so that I took to google in an effort to see if I could purchase it somewhere. thankfully GOG had it in their collection and for 5 dollars, really it wasn't a question-i had to buy it. Cant wait to get back to playing as the natives trying to stave off the impending colonists, while trying to find my own piece of the pie.

Blast to Play

This is a great game if you enjoy long-term civilization construction. Lost many an afternoon and night to playing this when it first came out. Reminds me of a stronger Colonization. Can become a little dull in the late-game if you don't play aggressively.
