3. Age of Viking Conquest

Age of Viking Conquest is a turn-based strategy game set in the time of the Norsemen.

Play as Norway, Sweden or Denmark and conquer the weak and unprepared southerners or expand your empire to the new world.

By sailing, riding or marching across Europe you can defeat your enemies and conquer new lands by pure military strength. Or, you could take a subtler approach and use espionage and economics to get the better of your enemies.

The game plays much like a board game would, winning means having the most VP (victory points) or reaching a preset threshold.

To do so you must conquer as many of the 130 regions as possible, all the while defending your home boarders and keeping a keen eye on what your rivals are up to.

At the end of each turn you get a turn report, this shows who did battle, what type of battle it was (land or sea) and what the result was. It also shows diplomatic actions, trade, income and declarations of war.

The Map is large and easily navigated with clear distinctions between each kingdom and which faction currently owns what. Strategic conquests are important, because if you don't surround your colonies with other friendly colonies, you'll quickly find them overrun.
