American Conquest , ce jeu RTS de légende ! D'abord le contexte : les évènements se passent pendant et après les découvertes de Christophe Colomb ( 1492) : soit vous incarnez les conquistadors ( espagnols , portuguais , français , anglais ) ou soit les amérindiens ( incas , aztèques , mayas) ou les colons américains ( Etats-Unis). Le jeu a des problèmes de compatibilité - résolution d'écran et vitesse - ( testé sous Windows 11) mais suivre ce guide vous permettra de résoudre le problème: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1963696111 Le gameplay est un peu différent d'un Cossacks mais a des similarités : - on peut mettre des unités en garnison - on crée des unités militaires en envoyant des paysans dans le fort / la forteresse et ensuite en sélectionnant les unités à créer - système de ressources minières = or ( gold) , pierre ( stone) , fer (iron) , charbon (coal) - ressources autres : nourriture ( food) et bois ( wood ) - système d'entretien des unités en nourriture + or + fer( pour les tireurs ) + charbon ( pour les tireurs) - système de capture de bâtiments : envoyez des unités militaires à l'intérieur du bâtiment que vous voulez capturer - pas de capture de l'artillerie - capture des paysans possible Un excellent RTS que je recommande vivement

Very fun game from the past! Good nostalgia! For all of you having trouble with speed and lag on Windows, go to the file location for the game: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\American Conquest Then click on the Application DMCR.exe and click Properties. Select Run this program in compatibility mode for: Windows XP (Service Pack 3) Also I clicked Run in 640 x 480 screen resolution and Disable fullscreen optimizations (But I'm not sure if these help) Once you've done that, go into the game's options and change the Video Resolution to 1920 X 1080. Keep the game in Fast Mode but SLIGHTLY decrease the game speed so that the game comes off of unrestricted FPS (which is what I think that it is on if you don't decrease the game speed a little). That should fix it if you are having problems with lag and speed and make it like it was originally when the game came out. Have fun!

American Conquest, oh what a thrilling ride through the annals of history! This real-time strategy game, set against the backdrop of the discovery and colonization of the Americas, delivers an immersive and challenging experience that keeps you on the edge of your seat. The attention to historical detail is commendable, with various factions representing the European powers and indigenous civilizations of the time. The campaign mode takes you on a journey through key events like the Mayflower voyage and the Battle of Bunker Hill, offering a compelling mix of historical accuracy and strategic gameplay. Speaking of gameplay, American Conquest doesn't pull any punches. The resource management and unit control require thoughtful planning and quick decision-making. The battles are intense, with a diverse range of units, from musketeers to Native American warriors, each with their strengths and weaknesses. The graphics, while not cutting-edge by today's standards, were quite impressive for its time, capturing the vast landscapes and detailed unit models. The soundtrack adds an extra layer of immersion, complementing the game's epic scale. One of the standout features is the massive scale of battles. With potentially thousands of units on the field, the game truly captures the scope of historic conflicts. However, this can be a double-edged sword, as managing such large armies can be overwhelming for newcomers. Multiplayer adds another dimension to the game, allowing you to test your strategic prowess against friends or other players. The community has kept the multiplayer scene alive even years after the game's release. American Conquest might not have achieved the same level of fame as some other RTS titles of its time, but it's a hidden gem for fans of historical strategy games. If you can overlook some of the dated aspects and appreciate the challenge of commanding armies in a bygone era, American Conquest is well worth the journey.

tough game - but great for its time. Very similar to cossacks which is not a bad thing at all!
