About Trade Conquest

In Trade Conquest, wealth is your weapon, and the world is your battlefield. This modern Grand Strategy and 4X game challenges you to rise from a shrewd investor to a global superpower. Through cunning economic strategies, military might, and diplomatic influence, you’ll reshape nations, topple governments, and dominate the global stage.

"Leaders aren't born, they are made."


Start as a strategic investor and grow your empire by acquiring resources, forging trade agreements, and manipulating global markets. Control strategic assets like oil, natural gas, rare metals, agricultural goods, and cutting-edge technologies to fuel your industrial growth. Use your wealth to influence global politics, sway elections, and even incite conflicts to serve your interests. Each decision you make will shape the world, as you build an empire of wealth and control.

But beware—the world’s superpowers are watching. As you gain control over vital resources, you’ll face opposition from global titans like the USA, Russia, China, India and the EU. These superpowers are not passive—they, too, will invest in other nations, competing for the same strategic resources that you need to build lucrative industries and powerful militaries. Friction will be inevitable as these global giants pursue their own interests, leading to potential conflict. Balance diplomacy, military power, and economic strategy to maintain your grip on power while navigating the threat of global conflict.

Core Gameplay Features:


Economic Strategy & Resource Management: Develop industries to transform raw materials into valuable products. Manage a variety of resources, including lithium, bauxite, titanium, uranium, agricultural commodities, and more. Your economic prowess will be crucial in building a global empire.

Geopolitical Influence & Diplomacy: Leverage your wealth to shape global politics. Influence policies, manipulate governments, and orchestrate conflicts that weaken your rivals. Diplomacy requires careful management, as alliances can be forged or broken based on your actions.

Military & Conquest: Assemble a powerful military to protect your interests and expand your territory. Deploy infantry, tanks, artillery, planes, and more as you conquer provinces and seize the resources you need to maintain your dominance. Military strategy is essential as you face off against other global powers.

Research & Development: Invest in research to unlock new technologies and industries. Advance your military, enhance production capabilities, and develop cutting-edge technologies that give you an edge over your competitors. The research tree spans Business, Social, and Military domains, offering diverse paths to dominance.

Strategic Resource Competition: Compete with global superpowers for control of essential resources. Your ability to secure and manage resources like oil, natural gas, iron, copper, nickel, gold, graphite, coal and more will determine your success on the global stage. With superpowers also seeking after these resources, friction and conflict are inevitable.

Provincial Management & Unrest: Manage unrest in your provinces to ensure stability. Build infrastructure like security forces, universities, and military bases to maintain order. High unrest can disrupt production and trade, and even spark rebellions that threaten your rule.

Dynamic World Events: Beginning in 2022, Trade Conquest offers a living global simulation that reacts to real-world events. Geopolitical tensions, economic crises, natural disasters, and shifting political landscapes will challenge you to adapt and adjust your strategies.

Massive Scale: With about 200 nations and over 1800 provinces to manage and conquer, Trade Conquest offers an expansive world full of opportunities and challenges. Your strategic decisions will be tested on a global scale as you navigate this complex landscape.
Total Player Freedom: Choose your path to power—dominate through economic influence, outmaneuver rivals with diplomacy, or crush them with military force. Trade Conquest allows you to shape the world as you see fit, with every decision impacting the course of modern history.

Why Choose Trade Conquest?


Deep Strategic Gameplay: Every decision—whether in economic management, geopolitical maneuvering, or military conquest—has significant consequences, requiring careful planning and strategic foresight.

Real-World Relevance: Grounded in historical events and realistic economic systems, Trade Conquest provides a contemporary strategy experience that reflects the complexities of the modern world.

Endless Replayability: With dynamic world events, a diverse research tree, and multiple strategic paths to victory, no two playthroughs are the same. Your choices shape the world, leading to unique outcomes every time you play.

Will you rise from nothing to become the world’s most powerful force? The fate of nations rests in your hands. Seize control in Trade Conquest—where wealth equals influence, and influence equals dominance.

I'll give you a short review and then a in-depth one. Short review: Started as a nobody in Serbia, got money through buying high and selling low on the stock market. Took control, opened borders for immigration, started cloning, changed labor laws so everyone is working 24-7, no retirement, no children, just work. Economy exploded, built up a massive army, conquered Europe only to get my hard paid work deleted in the end by UK and France nuclear dead man protocol. And all this just because I wanted to take Kosovo from Hungary. 10/10 would recommend, money well spent (bought full price). Long review: The game is a bit rough around the edges (especially visually) although it didn't bother me as much. You start as an "investor" basically a nobody with some money and a bonus you pre-pick in the game menu. You then pick a country to get business (investment) rights in and off you go. Trade on the market, buy some industries, maybe buy a license to access another country's resources/industry. The point in the early game is to build money and research points while making sure the countries you are doing business in don't fall either because of incompetent politicians or o…

I can't recommend this game after playing for like 10h since its release. idk if it started with new updates but I just tried to start a new run in june 2026 and couldn't build a wine production line at the very start of the game. the game takes the money, but doesn't build the upgrade. no errors no "you can't do it bc of this", just takes the money and doesn't give you the upgrade. if you read this dev, this happened on a southern shore province of Turkey.

Having started a normal campaign twice the same issues with opaque mechanics increasing costs or dropping market prices, or a mix of the two. Unrest, inflation, population ,per capita GDP. Excellent concepts that suffer from a tutorial reading like a VN. A more hands on tutorial is desperately needed. In the end I refunded because at the price I got it, I could not force myself to immerse in the mechanics. Maybe I'll get it at a 90% sale and try again in the future

Disappointing ! Looks not very polished and still got very poor performance. UI is a nightmare. Also too much diversity.
