Conquest is a turn-based game playable via IRC, along with other media. It is about ten years old, and now has a web and telnet interface. Players take the part of lords in medieval Europe, complete with jousting for honors, land wars, magic, a complex artifact and hero system, and the ability to choose from six different player classes, including a vampire class which can use mind control on other players.
Conquest is a gametype used mainly by EA and Digital Illusions CE's Battlefield franchise. To win a game of Conquest, the teams in the game (usually two) must capture pre-determined spawnpoints labeled by flags. Depending on the amount of friendlies in the capture radius of a flag, the capture timer will charge faster, thereby shortening the time of capture.
