About Pollute & Conquer

A strategy about ecology, where players can capture territory and build different buildings; And the choice between green and polluting buildings is important and affects both the world and the interaction between players. If both players make mistakes, then the world dies and both players lose.
  • CAPTURE TERRITORY


    Buy neutral or enemy cells for the accumulated resources of money or influence. Surround the enemy or go to the other side of the map. Choose and purchase cells with the most profitable terrain: river, forest, desert, hill, snow, ocean.
  • BUILD BUILDINGS


    Build buildings suitable for specific terrain, using the bonuses or disadvantages of each of them. Adapt to your opponent's strategy. Build polluting, neutral, or cleaning buildings that use different resources: coal, oil, river flow, nuclear, sun, wind, fusion power, or hydrocarbon cleaning.
  • DEVELOP TECHNOLOGIES


    Upgrade technologies of different buildings. Use coal with less pollution for the world. Learn to obtain solar energy more profitably than coal. Cleanse the world with advanced hydrocarbon capture technologies. Or open a new era of thermonuclear energy.
  • POLLUTE AND CLEANSE


    Use the wealth from coal and oil usage, getting rich at an incredible speed, despite the world's disasters that destroy you and your enemy. Or cleanse the world so you don't die and gain massive influence.
  • CONTEST


    Earn as much money and influence as possible to win. Survive the most difficult situations by finding counter-strategies against your opponent. Deal with global pollution. Or take advantage of the world's chaos from pollution to disrupt the enemy's plans and capture them.
  • PLAY WITH FRIENDS


    Play with friends on the same device as a board game. The game provides great opportunities for a complete competition, using many different strategies and adaptations for the map, enemy actions, and disasters.
  • DEFEAT EVERY AI


    The game has several levels of AI difficulty from the easiest for beginners who started acquainting with the world of strategies, to the most difficult for hardcore players who want to test their skills. Can you pass them all?
  • CHOOSE GAME TIME


    Choose a map size from several options from a small map for 15-20 minutes to a large one for 40-60 minutes.

WORLD


Long ago, people believed that our world lays on 3 elephants that stand on a giant turtle. Those people were wrong about 2 things:

First - There are no elephants. That is silly. There is only the Turtle.
Second - Our world is just a planet, but there is another beautiful place wandering space, that is similar to Earth and rests on the Turtle.

An unprecedented economic war for territories and resources flares up on the turtle.
Will it and all life on it die in the chaos of pollution?
Or will intelligent beings come to their senses and prevent the end of the world by developing new technologies?

Pollute and Conquer, compromise and cleanse.

[quote][b]Note: Dead PvP game[/b] This game contains no meaningful single player content beyond AI botmatching. There's no viably populated servers/active player population. This game cannot be played as intended.[/quote] When you see the 4X strategy label tacked onto a game, your first thought is "Wow, I'm getting to play Civilization or Master of Orion or something cool like that" and you're always going to be disappointed from what Steam Direct has to offer instead. Case in point, "Pollute & Conquer" which is a lot like Settlers of Catan but on meth and without graduating high school. This 4X is "industry and pollution" orientated and involves buying and building on tiles on a hex grid. There's a preachy subtext about how fossil fuels cause pollution, and while that is right, crappy video games are not the correct place to spread political evangelism. This does not make political evangelism better, it just makes gaming worse. This is a dead PvP game. Why did "Pollute & Conquer" fail? Time for a video game autopsy. [i]Almost every PvP exclusive game on Steam fails.[/i] Developers often assume just because they published their game, it's going to "go viral". I'm guessing…

Игра 'Pollute & Conquer' — это, без преувеличения, уникальный игровой опыт, который заставляет задуматься. На первый взгляд, механики кажутся простыми: расширяй свои владения, добывай ресурсы, развивай технологии. Но за этой кажущейся простотой скрывается глубокая и порой мрачная сатира на современное общество потребления и бездумное отношение к экологии. С каждой новой территорией, которую вы присоединяете, растет не только ваша империя, но и уровень загрязнения. И вот тут начинается самое интересное. Игра не просто предлагает вам игнорировать это, а активно заставляет искать баланс между экономическим ростом и экологической катастрофой. Вашим противником становится не только соседнее государство, но и сама планета. Управлять этим — настоящая головоломка. Приходится принимать сложные решения: построить еще одну фабрику, чтобы получить прибыль, или вложить средства в очистные сооружения, которые принесут дивиденды лишь в долгосрочной перспективе? Сможете ли вы сохранить свое население довольным, когда воздух станет непригодным для дыхания, а вода — ядовитой? Визуальный стиль игры, хоть и не отличается фотореализмом, отлично передает атмосферу. От зеленых, цветущих ландшафтов на …

7/10 Ecology-themed TBS TLDR: a simple turn-based expansion game where you strike balance between pollution, income, and "hearts". Randomness of "catastrophic events" on tiles reduces tactical planning. Good: + free + a unique system with 3 resources provides good variety So-so: +/- graphics are very basic +/- relaxing music gets repetitive after a while +/- the tutorial is there but it just shows tips on the functions of the UI. I'd prefer an interactive tutorial that follows your actions on a pre-determined map +/- catastrophic events happen randomly. Also, they may happen because of pollution that the enemy creates, even if your own economy produces no pollution at all. The degree of randomness is probably too high, as balance of power can change wildly after many tiles get suddenly lost to catastrophic events Bad: - nothing [table][tr][th][i]I'm a Steam curator, you can [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/43946907-Friendly-Nerd/]follow me[/url][/i][/th][/tr][/table]
