Lords of Conquest
Description official description
Lords of Conquest is influenced by the boardgame Risk. You and your opponent start by selecting countries in turn from a map. This can be randomly generated based on requested numbers of countries and volumes of water, chosen from one of the 19 predefined ones, or created using the inbuilt editor.
Your army possesses infantry, cavalry and a water fleet. Natural or produced resources such as gold and iron are identified - countries containing these might be the best ones to invade.You can play at 4 skill levels, and decide how big a factor luck is. With calculations settled by the computer, players can concentrate on the power games.

not risk-based, but a resource-oriented strategy game. Randomness is OPTIONAL!
The Good
The fact that you can turn off the dice. This is the only game I now of that was made for both C-64 and DOS where the C-64 was better! Why? With more than the dos CGA-three colors- C-64 could have four players. Turn mode game, can play live foes or against the machine. Map editor included!!
The Bad
Sometimes, the machine would start "thinking", and get stuck in an infinite loop.
Crash.
The Bottom Line
Play it over and over...adjustable victory conditions! Plays FAST! See www.cosmicencounter.com for more games by the designers
