Age of Conquest III is a medieval Risk-like turn-based strategy game where you take the reins of a budding empire and struggle against other kingdoms for control of the world. One game supports competitions with up to hundred players.
Age of Conquest III contains maps from all over the world including Europe, North America, Asia, Africa, a World Map and many more. Scenarios range from ancient to modern times. The game features simple building options such as construction of fortifications and watch towers. A player governs over military strategy as well as income and spending.

It’s May 17, 2010 – It’s the 10 year anniversary of Age of Conquest. The game started its humble origins ten years ago to the day (yes, I checked the database). Age of Conquest has been online most of the time since 2000 and managed to obtain a small group of followers over the years. The game has been ported to Windows, Macintosh, Linux, iPhone/iPod as well as Android.
The following releases have been slated for the upcoming months:
Age of Conquest World Map Edition for iPad: This is a large size map featuring all the continents of Earth.
Age of Conquest III for PC, Mac, Linux: This includes both a single player version of the game as well as an online version.
So, I am going to do a live screencast of a coding session for Age of Conquest. I have initially looked into LiveStream but I am not impressed with the quality of the live video feed. Instead, I’ll use Microsoft SharedView. The application is free, so simply download and install it. I’ll post the session name and password when I start the session.
The session is scheduled for:
Thursday, May 6, 18:30pm – around mignight Time Zone: Hawaii, GMT-10
Download & Install: SharedView Session Name & Password: Live NOW (May 6, 18:30)
