When this game came out, the pictures I saw of the game made me think it was kind of hokey so I ignored it. Two weeks ago, I saw a copy of it for sale at a retailer and picked it up and checked it out. That afternoon, I went on Amazon.com and read the reviews. The reviews convinced me to give it a try. I bought it and it was terrific. Best space game I've seen in quite a while and there was nothing hokey about it. Its a good single/multiple player game playable at home or on the net. The graphics were great and very innovative. I was so impressed that I just bought a second copy of the game to give to a friend. Top of the line. Problem free. A lot of work went into this game and it shows.

Really folks, this game has tons of potential, but hardly anyone has ever heard of it. My friend got it as a birthday present, and I played it, and loved it. So I bought it. The races seem to have been ripped off from starcraft however. You can play as the Humans, the Mantis (zerg) or the Celaeron (protoss). However the campaign and gameplay is completely unique. Instead of just building on one planet, you build platforms orbiting planets. Each map consists of a certain number of systems, connected by wormholes. It's a very unique concept, and it's implemented perfectly. The only thing missing from this excellent game is a map editor. This certainly detracts from replayability, but there is a good random map gameplay (similar to age of empires/kings) and there is multiplayer support. But hey, at $..., this is a bargain! Get this game! If you like RTS, you will like this!!

There are a number of "space combat sims" out there, but none can match the thrill you get when your legion of spacecraft fire the last shot that will obliterate the only thing keeping you and your fleet of twenty ships from entering the system in which your enemy's bases are orbiting their home planets.
Yes its that thrilling and that was all in the demo! ...)
The full game comes with THREE COMPLEATLY different races with their own arsenal of ships.
I'v played the demo version for two weeks and now plan on getting the full game. In the Demo version you can play with one race: the terrians (A.K.A. Humans) with all of their crafts unlocked.
Don't denie yourself hours of fun! Try the demo, see if you like it (You'll be hooked!) ...
And if you like it as much as I did come back and get the whole enchilada!

If you like games like Age of Empires and Alpha Centauri, you'll love Conquest: Frontier Wars.
What sets Conquest apart from other games I've played:
Use generals to command groups of units -- this saves you from having to micromanage each and every unit. Think of your generals as vice presidents and delegate! You can focus more on the overall campaign. Each general has different strengths/weaknesses, so part of the strategy is to station the general and his/her fleet to play to the general's strengths. For example, one of the generals has an attack bonus against the Mantis. So, if you are in a position where you are open to attack from the Mantis from only one wormhole, you can station that general & fleet nearby. If a general gets killed, you don't get him/her back, so watch out.
Suppy routes: this is definitely a new strategic dimension -- you have to "watch your rear". It makes you think strategically about the map as you invade neighboring systems. Also, invading fleets need to bring supplies along, you can attack these to weaken forces attacking you. Going after their heavy armor and not the supply ships could be your demise!
During battles, you can activate special powers for your heavy units for tactical advantage. Each type of heavy ship has a different special power.
All in all, lots of enjoyable fun. The AI is challenging in single player games. Alien races are well thought out -- well balanced and challenging. Highly recommended!

Quite simply, there is no better feeling than seeing a fleet of two dozen of Earth's fine warships shoot out of a wormhole and advance at full speed for an alien planet. Mantis carriers are revealed comeing around the planet, launching fighters and hiding behind their screen of frigates. The terrans launch fighters, and the battleships and dreadnoughts turn sideways to deliver a full broadside of laser bolts. Missile cruisers spew scores of guided missiles that slam into the frigates, as the terrans scream past. Unfortunately, the Mantis rally and avoid the terran fleet and target the three suplly ships trailing behind, which are destroyed. More mantis ships arrive and the terrans fire broadside after broadside... It is a lost cause, as without resupply, the terran ships are forced to run for the wormhole one by one. As the ships pull from formation, they are swarmed and destroyed, in a matter of minutes, the dominant fleet is a field of debris that marks the resting place of a commander's hopes. Facing little resistance, the Mantis pass through the wormhole into the terran's base system where they destroy the terran platforms one by one. Thus ends a battle in Conquest Frontier Wars. A fleet is launched, supply ships sent and a wormhole breached, a battle fought in an effort to claim a planet, and the destruction of the terrans when their supplies run low, this is Conquest Frontier Wars, any questions?
