Overview

Eliminate opposing players by destroying their remaining settlements and forces under the match rules.

Win condition and scope

Conquest focuses on eliminating the opposing players under the selected game rules. A defeated field army is only one step if the opponent still has workers, production, and defended settlements. Scout remaining Town Centers, expansion sites, and transport routes before calling an assault complete. Team settings can change which players still have to be removed.

How to finish a game

Convert a won battle into an attack on production and economy: bring siege for Castles and Town Centers, protect it from defending units, and use mobile troops to locate escaping Villagers. Keep your own economy and reinforcement line active. Do not spend the entire army chasing a few scattered workers while an intact enemy base or teammate can rebuild behind you.
