Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a focused strategy game rather than a campaign spanning close to 200 countries and over 1,800 territories

- Players looking for a historical setting rather than a world beginning in 2022
Our take on Trade Conquest
The opening frames the game around an ambitious investor, but the described campaign quickly extends into taxation, government manipulation, diplomacy, covert operations, research, and military conquest. That makes the central experience broader than an economic-empire premise alone, with wealth functioning as one route into wider state power.
What is Trade Conquest?
Trade Conquest is a modern grand strategy game about turning investment into political and military power.
Players build industries, manage resources and supply chains, and expand across nearly 200 nations and more than 1,800 provinces. Economic influence can shape laws, taxes, policies, governments, and world events. Diplomacy, covert economic warfare, military action, and alliances provide additional ways to defend interests or expand control. Research spans business, social, and military technologies, opening industries and raising production. The world begins in 2022 and changes through economic crises, geopolitical conflicts, shifting governments, and competition among global powers including the United States, China, Russia, India, and the European Union. Victory can come through economic dominance measured by GDP or through military conquest.
