One of my favourite games for PC, American Conquest is a game based on an ugly and recent history but it gives a chance to rewrite it, so to speak.. Needless to say I love playing as the indigenous tribes.

Its similar to Age of Empires in that there are numerous civilisations to choose from, a campaign and skirmish mode (online has long gone), the various maps are more random seeded rather than set maps, resources also never run out, population is only limited by the resources you gather. And the details are still very good for a 2002 game that was almost forgotten to time.

Its had a Windows 10 support update and runs pretty smooth even on my laptop with integrated graphics, unless you go huge map and extreme troop mode, my current record for population is 120,000 with the Mayan civ. They are easy to build up fast but require a mass resource collection.

My favourite are the Sioux but rely on hunting or fishing so a map needs to be generated with that in mind.

Thankfully you can also create your own maps, you can save and edit played maps or create one from scratch. Its a beautiful mode you can create waterfalls and various forks to create natural boundaries for scenario play.

As you'd expect, the choice of civs are European countries like Spain and Britain and tribal civs like Delaware and Aztecs.

Fight Back is the DLC of American Conquest and gives more civs as well as more campaign quests. I'm glad it returned with support as there was a long time between where the disc no longer worked on modern PCs, and Steam getting it on their list, and again more time before it got the Win10 support.

I highly recommend this game for anyone interested in this style of play and an interest in playing historical civs and building, defence, conquest gaming.
