The arcade grand strategy game. In Konkwest you and your friends can play through a world conquest campaign in an evening. Many historical starting scenarios bring you into the game world and let you lead your empire to glory. The single-resource economy makes the game accessible to all.
With the second post-launch update Konkwest now lets you choose a flag for your country and invite your Steam friends to play!
To change your flag just click the flag in your own country's country-selection-menu, next to the rename country button. You can pick any of the built-in ones, as well as ones added through mods. [i](Modded flags will only be visible in multiplayer if the other players also have the mod installed.)[/i]
Using the new system I built for this feature, I also updated a few things in [b]scenarios[/b].
[list]
[*] Spain in 1700 now has the flag of Burgundy.
[*] China in 0 now has a Han-dynasty symbol as its flag.
[*] Germany in 1900 is called Germany again, but retains the German Empire flag.
[*] In 1300 and 1700 France now has the flag of the Kingdom of France, instead of the modern Republican flag.
[*] For more historical accuracy, Afghanistan, Portugal, and Iran now have a different flag in almost every scenario.
[*] Cambodia in 1300 now uses the Khmer Empire flag created by Khnom.
[*] Added a flag for the Champa, Lavo, Pegu, and Sukhthai Kingdoms.

[b]Other changes[/b]
[list]
[*] Improved the visibility of flags on the ground.
[*] Explosions on the ground now leave traces for a bit.
[*] Something about inappropriate words that I don't want to list, so I don't encourage you trying it.

[*] Fixed a bug where the chat screen counterintuitively opened behind the player list.

In case you have any issues with the update please report them. You can use the "safe" beta branch to play in the previous version. Have fun conquering the world!
