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.

low quality
I started to play, I was confused at start whit everything but, I still passed my whole night on it and didn't even saw the time pass. Its cozy and fun, even if you dont understand evrything at fist the tutorial is there for you. Take you time. If you love economy, you got it, you love military well its there to and even politics. I love to play in the shadows building my empire of resources and if your like me for 20$ my money is well spend. 10/10 for me :D
Игра шикарная, есть конечно над чем работать, но затягивает. С нетерпением жду обновления и введение новых фишек. Не хватает пояснения, как бороться с инфляцией. Очень интересные производственные цепочки. В игру вложили душу это чувствуется. Советую поиграть и разобраться в ней, она затягивает это факт.
I'm really enjoying this game, but when i save and come back my resources are all gone am i doing something wrong
Mainly ai stuff excel simulator. I think the game has some good ideas, but the UI and general fun of the game is not that interesting. It is like a dollar general brand of a paradox game.
更新啊 更新啊 你快更新啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊
sembra fatto molto bene mancano un pò di pannelli riepilogativi di come sta andando la tua economia, una bella sorpresa
Really enjoyed this game more than i thought i would. I like management games and this one is very deep with its ´chains´ and ´tiers´ system. The economic system is very deep as well and Love the fact of not starting as a king or ruler like most games in this genre and working your way to power like a business person. Watched some videos before buying it which is probably why i started running, but sadly this game is not well known enough. There needs to be more coverage. Kind of why im leaving this review when i never do. Loving it so far and hope it gets more traction.
Good fun
