Our take on Expeditions: Conquistador
Its broad expedition structure trades immediate combat focus for resource management, exploration, diplomacy, and follower development. Players divide attention among party choices, environmental hazards, and strategic battles instead of concentrating only on battlefield encounters.

Lead a Spanish expedition through 16th-century America, exploring jungles, mystical temples, ancient ruins, and other locations while managing hunger, disease, predators, and resources.
