In Trade Conquest , wealth is your weapon, and the world is your battlefield. This modern Grand Strategy and 4X game challenges you to rise from a shrewd investor to a global superpower. Through cunning economic strategies, military might, and diplomatic influence, you’ll reshape nations, topple governments, and dominate the global stage. 'Leaders aren't born, they are made.' Start as a strategic investor and grow your empire by acquiring resources, forging trade agreements, and manipulating global markets. Control strategic assets like oil, natural gas, rare metals, agricultural goods, and cutting-edge technologies to fuel your industrial growth. Use your wealth to influence global politics, sway elections, and even incite conflicts to serve your interests. Each decision you make will shape the world, as you build an empire of wealth and control. But beware—the world’s superpowers are watching. As you gain control over vital resources, you’ll face opposition from global titans like the USA, Russia, China, India and the EU. These superpowers are not passive—they, too, will invest in other nations, competing for the same strategic resources that you need to build lucrative industries and powerful militaries. Friction will be inevitable as these global giants pursue their own interests, leading to potential conflict. Balance diplomacy, military power, and economic strategy to maintain your grip on power while navigating the threat of global conflict. Core Gameplay Features: Economic Strategy & Resource Management: Develop industries to transform raw materials into valuable products. Manage a variety of resources, including lithium, bauxite, titanium, uranium, agricultural commodities, and more. Your economic prowess will be crucial in building a global empire. Geopolitical Influence & Diplomacy: Leverage your wealth to shape global politics. Influence policies, manipulate governments, and orchestrate conflicts that weaken your rivals. Diplomacy requires careful management, as alliances can be forged or broken based on your actions. Military & Conquest: Assemble a powerful military to protect your interests and expand your territory. Deploy infantry, tanks, artillery, planes, and more as you conquer provinces and seize the resources you need to maintain your dominance. Military strategy is essential as you face off against other global powers. Research & Development: Invest in research to unlock new technologies and industries. Advance your military, enhance production capabilities, and develop cutting-edge technologies that give you an edge over your competitors. The research tree spans Business, Social, and Military domains, offering diverse paths to dominance. Strategic Resource Competition: Compete with global superpowers for control of essential resources. Your ability to secure and manage resources like oil, natural gas, iron, copper, nickel, gold, graphite, coal and more will determine your success on the global stage. With superpowers also seeking after these resources, friction and conflict are inevitable. Provincial Management & Unrest: Manage unrest in your provinces to ensure stability. Build infrastructure like security forces, universities, and military bases to maintain order. High unrest can disrupt production and trade, and even spark rebellions that threaten your rule. Dynamic World Events: Beginning in 2022, Trade Conquest offers a living global simulation that reacts to real-world events. Geopolitical tensions, economic crises, natural disasters, and shifting political landscapes will challenge you to adapt and adjust your strategies. Massive Scale: With about 200 nations and over 1800 provinces to manage and conquer, Trade Conquest offers an expansive world full of opportunities and challenges. Your strategic decisions will be tested on a global scale as you navigate this complex landscape.

Trade Conquest allows you to shape the world as you see fit, with every decision impacting the course of modern history. Why Choose Trade Conquest?
