In addition, nations now have different bonuses, several special resources and discoveries have been added and you can form trade alliances with other nations. Primarily it adds the option to create and play scenarios and customize the world.
The Deluxe Edition adds several new features to the game. For some players, winning the game may primarily involve finding lots of new landmarks in the New World and establishing many colonies. Each player sets his own objectives for each game. Your job is to explore the New World, establish thriving colonies, produce and trade goods and eliminate your enemies or defend your claims from your opponents. Not a game that simulates the actual discovery and colonization of the Americas, Conquest of the New World is generated at the beginning of each game and each New World (and game) is therefore unique. Compete against other players in the hopes of establishing control of the New World during the sixteenth century. Conquest of the New World puts you in control of a native civilization or an expeditionary force from one of five European countries.
