An updated demo of the game has also been released on the Slitherine portal – www.slitherine.com/games/conquest_pc. The updated demo includes a number of improved features and bug fixes, but most importantly it adds in the advanced gameplay mode which was locked in the original demo. This gives a better feel for how a full game would play out. The demo comes with 2 random scenarios, but the full game comes with unlimited random scenarios, a map editor and pre built single player campaigns.
