Era of Conquest (Korean title: 정복시대) is a free, browser-based
turn-based grand strategy game. You take command of a nation on a world map, expand your
territory province by province, weigh war against diplomacy, and race rival empires to victory. It runs
entirely in your web browser — no download, no account, and no login required. Your progress is saved on your
own device.
Era of Conquest is inspired by classic map-painting strategy games. Every turn you decide where to attack,
where to reinforce, and whether to develop your economy or fortify your borders. The map is a real-world map,
and neighbouring territories are connected by shared land borders and sea routes, so geography genuinely
shapes your campaign. A single match can be a quick 30-turn sprint or a long war of total conquest.
Key features
Turn-based conquest — move armies, take provinces, and reshape the map one turn at a time.
Multiple scenarios — play the world by country, or fight province-by-province across Europe and the whole world.
Diplomacy — declare war, form alliances, sign non-aggression pacts, send gifts, or pay a rival to attack your enemy.
Economy & technology — develop provinces to raise production, fortify them to boost defence, and advance through historical eras.
Adaptive AI opponents — each rival has its own personality, so no two matches play out the same way.
Three difficulty levels — from a relaxed first game to a serious challenge.
Play in your language — full Korean and English support.
Free to play — optional, opt-in rewarded ads only. There are never forced full-screen ads.
How to play
Choose a scenario and a nation. Pick your objective (total conquest, a conquest-rate target, a turn limit, or reaching the industrial era) and difficulty, then choose the country you want to lead.
Select your territory. Tap one of your provinces to select it — it lights up with a bright border.
Act on a neighbour. Tap a highlighted adjacent province to open the action menu: an orange border means you can attack (enemy or neutral land), a teal border means you can reinforce (your own land).
Win the battle. Your effective attacking force must exceed the defending troops plus their defence bonus. Sea crossings and fatigue reduce your force. A garrison of one unit always stays at the origin. See the worked battle examples.
Manage your realm. Tap a selected province again to open the internal menu: Develop to raise production, or Fortify to raise defence. Each province can act once per turn.
End the turn. Your provinces produce fresh troops, then every rival nation takes its turn. Repeat until you meet your victory condition.
Reading the map
The number on each territory is its current army strength.
The coloured badge behind the number shows the owner — grey means neutral (unowned) land, a nation's colour means that nation, and a white outline marks your own land.
Grey neutral land can be attacked and captured directly, with no declaration of war.
The scoreboard tracks your conquest rate, the number of surviving rival powers, and each nation's territory count.
Strategy tips
Grow before you fight. Early on, absorbing grey neutral land is far cheaper than attacking a defended enemy province.
Concentrate your force. Reinforce a single frontline province into a spearhead instead of spreading troops thinly along the border.
Use diplomacy as a weapon. A non-aggression pact secures one border so you can commit everywhere else; paying a rival to attack your strongest enemy can break a stalemate.
Don't over-extend. Every province you own must still defend itself — a long, thin empire is easy to cut apart.
Fortify chokepoints. A single heavily fortified province can hold a whole front while you push elsewhere.
