Released in May 2016 for the European market, is widely regarded as the most challenging and strategically dense entry in the Fates trilogy . While sharing a foundation with Birthright and Revelation , Conquest is specifically tuned for series veterans who enjoy limited resources and intricate map design. Core Differences & Difficulty
: Missions go beyond simple "rout the enemy" goals, often requiring players to defend points, escape within turn limits, or seize specific locations.
: Enemies in Conquest utilize skills, varied weaponry, and "Dragon Veins" more effectively than in other routes.
: Players cannot grind for experience or gold through extra skirmishes; resources are finite and must be managed carefully across the 28 main story chapters and available paralogues.
Unlike the more accessible Birthright , Conquest is designed to be a "hardcore" experience.
: While all modes (Normal, Hard, Lunatic) are available, even the lower settings are significantly tougher than their equivalents in Birthright . Story & Narrative Perspective
