Play Lords of Conquest Online

Electronic Arts released Lords of Conquest in 1986 as part of their MS-DOS Classic Games series. It arrived during a period when turn-based strategy was finding its footing on personal computers, offering a digital adaptation of board game style conquest that felt both familiar and new for the platform.

You control a fledgling empire, directing armies to capture territories on a map divided into provinces. The main objective is to conquer all rival kingdoms through a mix of careful resource management and calculated military campaigns. Signature mechanics include managing a limited pool of resources like timber and gold to build units, and resolving combat through dice rolls that inject a layer of unpredictable risk into every engagement. The pacing is deliberate, demanding long-term planning over quick reactions, and the difficulty can be punishing if you expand too recklessly. It feels like a tense, thoughtful chess match where every decision carries weight for seasons to come.

Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
