Reception

Conquered Kingdoms was reviewed in 1993 in Dragon #194 by Hartley, Patricia, and Kirk Lesser in "The Role of Computers" column. The reviewers gave the game 4 out of 5 stars.[1] In a 1993 survey of pre 20th-century strategy games, Computer Gaming World gave the game two-plus stars out of five, stating "While gameplay is high, this reviewer admits to a distaste for obscuring decent wargames with fantasy elements".[3] A reviewer who called Conquered Kingdoms "a gem of a game" disliked Scenario Disk #1, stating that the expansion's maps were not as good as the original's.[4]
