Conquest of the New World (Civ5)

Conquest of the New World is a scenario of Civilization V that came along with the Incan and Spanish DLC. The objective is to get the most points by playing as a European nation or a Native American tribe. It is somewhat similar to Colonization.

An updated version of the scenario, called Conquest of the New World Deluxe, was added on 4 February 2014 as a free DLC for the Brave New World expansion pack.

Gameplay

Standard

An Incan Caravel reaching "China"

The Native American tribes spawn in various locations around the American continent(s), which will be randomly generated each time a new game is started. They begin play with several Settlers, Workers, and military units and a large amount of gold, and should focus on claiming as much territory as possible and increasing their military and economic strength before dealing with expansionist neighbors.

The European nations start from the far eastern side of the map. They each begin play with a well-developed capital city, a Worker, and a Caravel, and should focus on exploring the New World and finding choice tracts of land to settle. They may declare war on the Native Americans freely, but are unable to declare war on each other until they have researched Piracy. Additionally, all European naval units begin play with the Scurvy "promotion," which gives them a chance to lose 1 HP each time they end a turn outside of friendly territory. This promotion persists until the Navigation School - a national wonder unique to this scenario - is constructed.

In addition to the standard scoring methods, European civilizations can earn points by sending Caravels to China. China's cultural borders will always be on the far western side of the map, and moving a Caravel adjacent to them will remove the unit from play and award points to its owner - 200 for the first Caravel, 100 for the second, and 50 for the third. These rewards are only given for the first three Caravels to reach China, and one nation can earn multiple rewards, so naval dominance can quickly propel a civilization toward victory in this scenario.

Any civilization can also earn points by collecting treasures and delivering them to the capital. Treasures are special units that appear whenever a city or City-State is razed. Two of the natural wonders - Cerro de Potosi and El Dorado - also generate treasures at regular intervals if they are within a civilization's cultural borders. A civilization that returns a treasure to its capital will score 100 points. Treasure units are unable to defend themselves and can be plundered by enemy military units, so it's important to protect them from marauding Barbarians and opportunistic neighbors on the way to the capital.

Victory goes to the first civilization to score 1000 points, or to the civilization with the highest score after 100 turns have elapsed.
