Our take on Commander: Conquest of the Americas
Rather than centering strategy on a single battlefield, the game combines settlement administration, exploration, diplomacy, trade, and naval combat. Its military encounters use real-time fleet actions, while the wider campaign asks players to manage relationships and resources across the Americas.
What is Commander: Conquest of the Americas?
Lead one of seven European factions in a strategy game about colonizing the New World.
Build and sustain settlements across territories ranging from Caribbean islands to Hudson Bay, while managing resources, production, military strength, and trade routes. Explore the region, negotiate with rival European powers and Native American tribes, and choose between alliances and conflict. Naval warfare is presented through real-time tactical battles involving fleets of up to 30 ships. Battles offer either a fleet-level real-time strategy view or direct control of individual vessels. Progress combines colony administration, exploration, diplomacy, trading, and military decisions as each faction pursues control of the Americas.
