But anyway, Conquest is such a catchy name that it&#8217;s probably not the first time it has been used, so I did a quick search and this is what I found. <!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Searching for the game title &#8222;Conquest&#8220; on Google I actually got only five hits with that exact title. Surprisingly few, although I probably missed some. If you want to have a look for yourself, this is the list:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.conquest-game.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Conquest<\/a>, a turn-based tactical combat game set in the future and played on a hex field map against other players.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.windowsgames.co.uk\/conquest.html\" target=\"_blank\">Conquest<\/a> in Sean O&#8217;Connor&#8217;s games collection looking a bit like Risk and either played against human or computer opponents. The appearance is quite retro.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fantasyflightgames.com\/en\/products\/warhammer-40000-conquest\/\" target=\"_blank\">Warhammer 40000: Conquest<\/a>, a card game for two players set in the Warhammer universe.<\/li>\n<li>The board game <a href=\"http:\/\/www.boardgamegeek.com\/boardgame\/67\/conquest\" target=\"_blank\">Conquest<\/a> by Donald Benge which was first published in 1974.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/gamejolt.com\/games\/conquest\/38256#close\" target=\"_blank\">Conquest<\/a>, a short game by <a href=\"http:\/\/outlands-games.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Outlands<\/a> which is &#8222;a short game about the victims of space exploration&#8220;. The screenshots do not tell much about the game itself, unfortunately.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And of course, there are many more games with &#8222;Conquest&#8220; as part of the title. So, luckily for James Bennet, there is no other game with the exact same title, &#8222;Conquest!&#8220;, but unfortunate for me that he was faster than me. I wish him the best of luck for his kickstarter campaign starting tomorrow anyway. Me, I will at least keep the name of my subversion repository until I have a better idea for the title of my game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week I stumbled over a post by Gamasutra member James Bennet about his game &#8222;Conquest!&#8220;. &#8222;Damn&#8220;, I thought, &#8222;that&#8217;s exactly the working title of my own hobby project, even up to the exclamation mark&#8220;.
