The aim of each player is to colonialize a maximum of the 26 earth-like planets that are shown on the universe map. Every planet has its own surface composed of oceans, forests, mountains, deserts etc where different machines (power-plants, irrigation robots, space port etc) have to be built to guarantee a rapid grow and a high production of the colony. People can direct the machines or work as scientists which will make the technology level rise and allow new inventions (battlestars, planet scanners, energy cannons etc). Each player will have to explore the universe, build war ships for space battles and troop transporters for the invasions of other worlds. The game is easy to handle as it has an intuitive, mouse-based interface. It also has decent graphics with some rendered HAM images. NEW FEATURES Colonial Conquest II is a sequel to Colonial Conquest. Many bugs have been removed and hundreds of details improved. The new and outstanding features are: - Intelligent computer opponent. In the one player mode, the computer will simulate a highly aggressive alien race that colonizes planets, explores the universe, performs coherent attacks, invades planets and uses the surviving population as slaves for a maximum material production. - Espionage. Spy satellites can now scan planets or view them from space. - 50 different alien life forms that can be discovered. - Army forces have to be constructed to defend planets or invade others. - Lots of new objects & space ships. - Title music, more graphics. - Background story. When playing in the two player mode, a new aim can be to be incorporated in a huge empire that is not interested in the small colonies at the begining. Empire points are distributed among the players for discoveries, production and fleet force. The first player who has reached a certain amount of empire points is incorporated and wins the game which means that the two player do not necessarly have to annihilate eachother. SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS Colonial Conquest is a PAL game, but it works on NTSC machines too (vertical screen scrolling). Besides this, it should work on ALL Amigas with MORE THAN 1MB of RAM. Use Left-Amiga + A to multitask.
