About
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.
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.
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.
Total Player Freedom: Choose your path to power—dominate through economic influence, outmaneuver rivals with diplomacy, or crush them with military force. Trade Conquest allows you to shape the world as you see fit, with every decision impacting the course of modern history.
Deep Strategic Gameplay: Every decision—whether in economic management, geopolitical maneuvering, or military conquest—has significant consequences, requiring careful planning and strategic foresight.
Real-World Relevance: Grounded in historical events and realistic economic systems, Trade Conquest provides a contemporary strategy experience that reflects the complexities of the modern world.
Endless Replayability: With dynamic world events, a diverse research tree, and multiple strategic paths to victory, no two playthroughs are the same. Your choices shape the world, leading to unique outcomes every time you play.
Will you rise from nothing to become the world’s most powerful force? The fate of nations rests in your hands. Seize control in Trade Conquest—where wealth equals influence, and influence equals dominance.

I wasn’t sure at first, but after I figured out how it all worked I started to really enjoy it. I can see myself getting into this type of game. Hope to see continued development with this one.
Starting good but not last long. Good idea, bad implementation. Needs a lot of UI improvements. If you'd like to have carpal tunnel syndrome this is your game. Becoming Head Of State is something you'd like to achieve in the game. Here is a brief calculation for you. This is one of 3 requirements. - %100 influence. ( It may be different for every country but for me it was about 1.2 million influence points) Ho can you get influence points? Of course you can buy it right? I really like this idea very much because it's like real life. But there is a smalll problem. For 1.2 million (%100 influence) you need to work. I mean literally work. Every click is 250 influence. Good luck wıth 4800 clicks. And this is one of the 3 criterias. You need to do this couple of times. (My calculations might be wrong but you get the idea) Also I totally agree with negative comments about auto sell. That's another torture for the player. I don't see the point. This game has potential. Idea is good. I'll keep following new updates.
I can recommend this game 100%. The pace is on the slow side but the mechanics will keep you interested for quite a long time. There seem to be different strategies and I have only just scratched the surface. It is an eldorado for autistic people and those with ADHD. I can say that many quality of life improvements have been made and hope this will continue. There are a lot of production chains (insane amount) and it would help if, when you want to buy a new resource you could already see what and how many products you already own. Maybe a number in parenthesis. Also needs an autosave in a separate save file and a way the game stops you from making really stupid mistakes. Sometimes you can click on the wrong resource in the market screen and it can get you banned from the market. In my opinion it is way too easy to make a mistake like that which can ruin your whole game. Graphics and music is really great. I enjoy this game a lot and hope the dev keeps improving and updating it. Bought the game on sale which was totally worth it.
Very complex, engaging and original game. Mixes a few genres well and is a engaging game even at this early stage.
this is potentially one of the best political simulator games i have played, i was able to roleplay as an ruling dynasty of the world and it was great to ruin third world countries for my own profit. 10/10!
Ever feel like instilling economic ruin, and nuking china all in one game? Yeah me neither, but its a surprisingly common thing you'll find yourself doing in this game; That and watching all your hardwork be annihilated in nuclear hellfire.
Game crashes alot even on high end PC's so wait but it'll be a banger with more updates.
这游戏潜力还是有的,但地图缩放的笨拙感太重。
之前以为游戏有严重BUG,建造建筑时钱被扣除了,但是建筑没建起来,几次后直接破产,后来发开回复说是动荡省份8级以上有机率投资失败。感觉游戏指南应该再丰富一些,总统来说游戏挺好玩的,容易上头,推荐一下。
