Skip a bit, Brother.

Welcome to the ultimate resource for a true child of Forge Hub. Conquest is a game created by AZN FTW early on in the life of Forge Hub. The game has developed a rabid following, with an incredible number of maps being created specifically for it. In a nutshell, Conquest is a Territories variant, similar to tug-of-war in reverse. Teams start at opposite ends of a linear path and try to push each other back to claim more territories. Territories don't lock, so it can go back and forth several times in a round. A few standard conventions have been established, but forgers have taken many liberties with the basic formula. The list herein contains all the many ideas of what the game can or should be.

Hopefully you'll be able to add Leapfrog to the "conquest spin-offs" section when I publish. It's the same concept with some tweaks.

Nice collection you've got there, though. Maybe this will encourage some more creative non-foundry conquest maps...

WOW!!! This is freakin incredible! Awesome job Pred :0) I know I'll be using this thread a lot.

This is a great topic. I remember back when AZN FTW posted the cellars and the conquest stuff, but I never really even looked into it. Now looking at it, and this huge collection of maps for it I realising what it actually is. The map on avalanche definitely caught my eye and looks ****ing awesome. It reminds me a bit of the Battlefield games almost. Great post thx!

I am kinda the conquest Freak is it comes... I surprised we haven't seen a conquest map on Snowbound, and narrows...

Randal Stevens · 09-13-2008

There have been Conquest maps on Snowbound. I think Matty or Kapura or someone with a red name made one.

But yeah, that's one hell of a nice post there. And the banners are totally awesome.

hmmm none on highground...

Predicide · 09-13-2008

Snowbound has been done... but not posted to my knowledge. If anyone finds any, please put theme here. I'll keep it updated.

I heard a certain someone was working on a Narrows one....

And no High Ground??? That seems like a no-brainer. Actually the reason I posted all those unnecessary banners was to encourage people to tackle the ones that haven't been tackled yet.

thank you for this pred i love conquest its so much fun!!And now i have more maps to play it on!! got a couple of maps that could be added,1 on standoff,which will work very well and 1 on high ground,not to sure about that one they just need a few tweaks and they will be ready to test check out my GoO port for more info if you want to and see what you think

I am surprised that there are so few non dlc maps leave that one with me vallhala should be easy enough to sort and i have always wanted to do something on the pit and isolation

the top banner is outstanding
