great strategic conquest type game.

needs: 1) destination city for each city, so that when a new unit is created or arrives at a city, it is routed onward to another city. 2) patrol routes. 3) landscape mode. 4) random maps.
Brings two classic games back to life

Like most reviewers, I was a passionate fan of "Strategic Conquest" and "Empire Deluxe" and long yearned for an app that would embrace what they did. This definitely accomplishes that, so this was a great find after years of not being able to play. Overall, I like most everything about it, but it could benefit from a few improvements. Most notably, I'm not in love with the way pieces are directed around the board, since you have to engage with each piece individually. Could there be a single control panel in a fixed place that serves all pieces so that your hand doesn't have to keep jumping around the board? Also, it would be great to be able to see all of the units currently in production at once, rather than having to click on every city. Otherwise, this is a really good game that I've already spent many hours playing.
Great nostalgic game! But...

I used to play this game when I was younger on my parents PC. It is a great way to fill idle time and I find it very nostalgic. Certainly has held up well over time considering how simple it is. That being said I do remember the ability in other versions to at leastinclude another human Player to take turns with. This version does not even so much as let you choose how many players are going to be on the map computer or otherwise. I think the ability to add other human players sorely needed. You can get over 300 maps but after a while you were going to be tired of playing against just the computer even on higher difficulty levels. Addition of online play would greatly help the longevity of this game. Overall it's a great way to waste time, but gets boring rather fast specially if you used to play against other people.
More Maps !!!

Love this game would love to buy more maps. Also how about random generated start positions?? Finally could we track how long a map took to beat..right now you just know if you completed it but the number of days to win would be cool. But really just more maps!! I'll pay a buck or two for that!!!
Love this game!

Take another run at this and put patrol and auto load and finish by computer like strategic conquest. Love this game.
Additional variety
these data leaks
The game has many maps, and the addition of the option to end the game when conquering a certain portion of the map is also convenient. It might be an interesting idea to add maps which are almost all land, to enphasize ground type warfare. Perhaps one of those maps could also have a single small river with a few bases along it's route to emphasize geound warfare, but offer a strategic opportunity to supplement an assault with ships and resources. Oh, maybe another option where there's a chance the difficulty could get even harder (or their resources build twice as fast), and different colored teams merge together against the main player as they conquer more of the map. Maybe that could be a randomly generated thing. Still, a fun, addicting game.
