What is Conflict of Nations?

A Massive multiplayer Online Grand Strategy Game set in Modern Era

Introduction

Commander, Welcome to Conflict of Nations: Modern War!

Building upon our successes with Thirty Kingdoms and Supremacy 1914, Conflict of Nations: Modern War takes real-time military strategy into the modern era, specifically into the globalized late 20th and early 21st centuries.

Less than a century ago the battles of World War II were fought in fields, cities, and most famously on beaches; they consisted of large formations of clearly identifiable troops who would attack and defend in an effort to conquer large areas of territory. Victory often went to the side who could concentrate the most amount of fire on the target, in the shortest amount of time.

These days are gone.

Modern warfare hinges on Technology’s ability to coordinate small, specialized, and efficient Units. Modern warfare takes less and less place in open fields : it is orchestrated in congested cities alongside a civilian population. Granted, weaponry has improved, but largely, modern warfare revolves around information technology’s ability to coordinate what has become known as a theater of operations- a strategic military battlespace which includes land, air, sea, and space environments.

Weapons have changed. Where armies were racing for firepower, bigger guns, and heavier shells, they now race for precision, and intel. Who sees the other first, and delivers the optimal payload, wins - Luttwak

One Goal : World Domination

You will have many rivals and foes before your victory. Allies as well

Conflict of Nations (CON for short) allows for several types of maps, with special rules (Public Games, Private Games, Challenges, Tournaments), but they all exist on a simple premise. Dominate the world. You are the military commander of an entire nation, competing against an exceedingly competent AI, and, more ruthless, other human players in maps of 26,45,60,100 players !

You will, through Economy, build new economical Buildings to improve your production, and be able to research better units, product better ones, or to the contrary, go full Red Army by fielding the largest army mankind has ever witnessed.

You will, through Research, develop new Units of War, starting from the early cold war to the tools of modern warfare, to defend yourself or to bend the other nations to your will.

You will, through Military, command Ground Units, Air Units, Sea Units, and Strategical Units in real-time, using your tactics to overwhelm the enemy and claim their cities. And if they still resist, unleash upon them the nuclear fire.

If the radiance of a thousand suns were to burst at once into the sky. That would be like the splendour of the Mighty One...I am become Death, The shatterer of worlds.
- Oppenheimer, quoting the Bhagavad Gita 

You will, through Diplomacy, negotiate alliances, treaties, engage in tricky plots and engage your country in Coalitions, to shape the world together at your image.

Maps with a Huge scale

The World map where up to 60 players can compete for world domination

The game map is based on NASA high resolution imagery, resulting in unprecedented detail of the global Battlefield. Mountains of research went into geographic details, technical information, and of course, into the selection of, and the representation of the nations themselves. This being said, early-on we decided to let game-design rule over realism, providing a “sandbox” game rather than a political simulation. We are convinced that you will agree with our decision once you start conquering the world as the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Vietnam, or Columbia.

As a player you can approach world domination in a variety of ways: individually, collaboratively alongside other individuals grouped in an alliance; conventionally or unconventionally. As a commander you might want to gather resources, or perhaps, as Japan you decide to focus upon establishing strong alliances with China and your neighboring nations of the Indochinese Peninsula. Are you an aggressive offensive warmonger, perhaps? We have a few of those around... Each playable country offers a different set of variables to consider, and potentially, each one of them has an equal opportunity to conquer the world.

The possibilities are endless.

And, should playing in real-time prove too slow or too anxiety provoking for you initially, as a player you are encouraged to command simultaneous games.
