Conqueror: Final Conquest

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)

• Chronicle cards — Starting in the second round, one chronicle card is flipped per round, representing events that shape the round (e.g., plagues, hero costs, bidding on common foes).
• Combat — Attacking an adjacent territory triggers a battle. Both players roll one die, with infantry adding one to strength and cavalry adding two. Defenders gain bonuses for forts or home territory. Victorious attacker earns a coin and defender loses units. Victorious units can gain an extra action once per round.
• Gaining currency — Players can obtain currency from territories they control.
• Purchasing hero cards — Players can purchase hero cards by paying the coin cost.
• Recruiting units — Players can recruit units in forts, with great forts providing two infantry or one cavalry and regular forts providing one infantry, provided new units don't exceed the food quota.
• Secret Missions — Players randomly draw one of three bonus missions for their faction.
• Territory control — Gaining territory is key for forts, supplies, army size, and currency.
• unit movement — Each unit can either move to an adjacent empty territory.
