I remember playing this in early 2000s. It was a bit clunky like many PC games back then, but it felt unique. I was a kid back then so I always found a favourite unit to play with and make them the champion of sorts. In this particular game it was the axeman (or based on what I remember at least), and always made them the leader of my battles, bringing it's own challenges. It's sad now that this game is so hard to find and get, but what's even worse is it doesn't run on modern systems at all. I pray to GOGods that this game earns it's place on this great platform. Cheers!
Good game with a big replay ability factor. I still own the original disc and it was a fun and obscure game as a kid. I feel that this kind of game would have a public today, looking for more hisotrical turn-based strategy games. The multiplayer had 3 different modes, which was pretty good

Conan Unconquered
Conan Unconquered"From the Star Wars: Empire at War and Command & Conquer veterans at Petroglyph comes the first-ever strategy game set in the barbaric world of Conan the Barbarian. Conan Unconquered is a strategy game set in the barbaric world of Conan the Barbarian where you must build your stronghold and assemble an unconquerable army to survive the savage hordes of Hyboria. Wave after wave of increasingly more difficult enemies will rush at your gates and you will need to manage resources, research new technologies to advance your defenses, and recruit an ever-growing army if you are to save survive utter destruction. You can choose to play the game entirely alone in single-player, but Conan Unconquered can also be enjoyed in full two-player co-op allowing for a truly unique, shared multiplayer experience. Players share a base, but both can freely construct new buildings and amass an army to reach their common goal. Similar to games such as They Are Billions, the enemy hordes will keep coming at you and how long you can resist the invasion depends entirely on your ability to build your stronghold and lead your army. Gameplay is real-time, but you can also pause at any time to issue commands and start construction of new buildings. Battles will be bloody and savage with players having to deal with anything from fires raging through their stronghold to piles of corpses spreading death and disease. The savage horde is at your gates. Will you fall or will you remain unconquered?"
