Galactic Conquest
Galactic Conquest is a shareware game based on the principles of Risk.
Shareware release v2.1 was classed as the ‘Novice’ version with Intermediate
and Advanced versions planned but not, at that time, implemented. The Novice
version is for two to seven players, there is no computer opposition in this
game, and is entirely keyboard controlled.
To ensure that the game is played fairly each player takes a turn at the
keyboard sending their space ships out to attack other planets however what is
entered is not shown on screen. When all players have entered their moves the
game resolves all conflicts showing who has conquered a planet and who lost
the battle.
At the start of the game the players decide on how many turns the game will
consist of, during the game however there is an option to end the game at the
end of the current turn, the computer will resolve any remaining conflicts and
announce the winner.
