Topic: Conquest* for 1.18

[Shiki]

Hi all! I ported Conquest*, an add-on created by enclave for Wesnoth 1.14.

First of all, what is Conquest?

Conquest is a game mode for multiplayer games which you play on custom maps. RPG elements are removed, instead new strategy elements are added:

• You need to control regions to get bonus gold. Regions are a group of villages you need to own.
• Recruiting units happens in the villages you control, not with leaders or keeps.
• Naval combat is added.
• Combat is simplified and shorter. This shifts focus to the big picture instead of individual battles.
• Diplomacy with other players plays a role.

While it is possible to play with up to 6 players, there is no need to wait that long. Playing with 4 players is perfectly fine, and so is 1vs1.

Conquest Asterisk is a modification of Gwledig’s Conquest Original Gameplay. It has the same units and many maps in common, but adds

• A random map generator.
• AI support for maps which use only the human faction.
• Options to change minimum distance of players.
• Options to increase the strength of neutral units.

Check the Custom Options tab when creating a game. If you want to have it like in classic Conquest, set Spawn Theme to 1g units.
Other players don’t need to download the add-on to join your game, and thanks to new sprites in 1.18 they will see the same graphics as you.


I am still looking for other players to maintain this add-on with. And for new first-time players! Just host a game and see who joins.

Another add-on which extends Conquest in unit variety and with additional maps is Conquest+ (for 1.16).

I uploaded it now to 1.16 as well.

All the best for your mod Shiki!

Great, I love Conquest .

Is there a way to play the Conquest- maps/mod from older Wesnoth versions? Talking about the big maps that Lich Lord used to create and were played a lot many years ago ?
