In Conan Unconquered, the kingdom of Khoraja faces an invasion led by the tyrant Thugra Khotan. This survival RTS turns that premise into a fight to prepare a settlement for repeated assaults: players build defenses, assemble forces and try to withstand increasingly difficult waves. Its setting is not just backdrop; threats range from ordinary troops to siege weapons and monstrous attackers.
The stronghold demands attention beyond its walls. Players manage food, gold, wood and iron, construct buildings, train and pay units, and research improvements to strengthen their defenses. Exploration can uncover ruins and treasure, though powerful guardians may stand in the way. Disease adds another complication, since fallen soldiers can spread it across the battlefield. Heroes, including Conan, bring special abilities to combat and can use artifacts found during exploration.
Challenge maps also let players compare their performance on the same layouts. Randomly generated maps give each playthrough a different environment, while the central loop remains the careful preparation of a base against another assault.
