Age Of Viking Conquest sails onto Steam today

New Viking conquest simulator gets 30% discount for launch week.

Age of Viking Conquest is a brand new strategy game focusing on the attempts of Viking nations to conquer and influence Europe. In Age of Viking Conquest, players must expand their reach throughout Scandinavia, Europe and eventually North America through espionage, trading, raiding, mercenaries and conquest, while making sure that computer AI opponents and the harsh weather will not impede their development.

Age of Viking Conquest is a conquest simulation set at the time of the Vikings invasions of Europe. The goal of the game is to become the dominant major power amongst the key powers of Northern Europe. Play as Sweden, Norway or Denmark and expand your zone of influence.

You win by either scoring the most Victory Points (VPs) or being the first to reach a certain preset VP threshold, depending on scenario and custom choices in the main menu. To do so, you must capture regions over the world, and defeat your enemies in battle.
The world has about 130 regions open to conquest. The regions have variable income and VP values (set randomly in the Standard scenario) and unknown until conquered or spied upon. Each region not owned by a Major Power usually has an independent Minor country owning and defending it.

Each Major country is controlled by a human player or the computer, or is designated neutral and then acts as a Minor country. Each game turn represents roughly one of the 4 seasons. Winter is a special one, with limited movements, severe weather conditions and restricted actions. A game lasts till scenario victory conditions are achieved or when the three Viking powers have converted to Christianity. Starting with the year 700 AD, it will last till shortly after 1100 AD or earlier (if the player is eliminated or becomes Christian).

Age Of Viking Conquest is available now on Steam with a 30% discount until the 26th of December, priced at £3.49.
