Conquest 2: Vyrium Uprising Demo (Now Playable)

[N a v y 3 0 0 1]

So a long time ago, a demo for Conquest 2: Vyrium Uprising was created and uploaded before the game was canceled. Then, a few years ago the modding community decided to fix up the demo to make it more stable and thus, playable.

Sadly, the modder had to cut his work short due to other obligations. However, he has fixed many of the errors in the game as well as all four; yes FOUR races which are now playable! Note that the Vyrium faction however playable, does not have A.I. code written for it yet. Also, it appears that there is a bug with the Terran faction where upon building the Hero: Admiral Steel, construction of the Steel Battleship has no cost and has an instant build time.

The game features Solo Skirmish battles and features Online Multiplayer(explained below) and it also features map editing while in-game by pressing the Tilda(`) key.

C2VU has replaced the moons used in Conquest: Frontier Wars with ore planets. Moons have now been given a bigger purpose! You can build moon platforms on them which provides a speed buff to planets including: resource generation, tech research, and shipyard construction! Some moon platforms even serve as turret defense!

My favorite feature of C2VU is that it plays very nicely with the Windows 10 OS! No init. file editing required.

Here is an in-game screen shot: https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/833580653180110930/B275452D83B08058EB632A8B9DE59C86F4C6518E/

Happy comp stomping!

Conquest 2: Vyrium Uprising v 1.3 alpha preview file
This is a preview of what is to come, no balancing work done whatsoever, eye-candy only. Uploaded on request.


Multiplayer Setup Information

Because the game is not fully developed, it appears that C2VU multiplayer has strictly Internet only capabilities. LAN doesn't seem to work.
Players who are under the same router can only play with eachother if they both connect to a game that is hosted on a different
network.

Note: For first time running the game, upon clicking multiplayer, the game could crash, throwing an exception.
The reason is because C2VU requires Direct Play to run. In Windows 10, to enable this, hit the Windows Key and type Programs and Features into the bar and open it up. Then, select "Turn Windows features on or off". When the Windows Features box opens, scroll down until you find Legacy Components. Click the + beside it and you will see Direct Play. Check Direct Play on and click OK. C2VU should no longer crash when selecting multiplayer. Clicking Multiplayer should open up a prompt asking if you will allow C2VU on Private and Public networks. Disallowing Private and Public will cause trouble with trying to use multiplayer.

The easier way to connect to games is by using LogMeInHamachi where players can use the Hamachi client to create a server and join together in it. Hamachi marks each player with their own personal IPV4 Address. Whichever player in the Hamachi Server Group that is currently hosting the game in C2VU, must be the one whose IPV4 Address is used by the joining players in order to make the connection.

You can download Hamachi free at https://www.vpn.net/

The other way is by use of Port Forwarding. For those who know how to portforward, you must portforward on:
Ports 2300 through 2400 for TCP.
Port 47624 for TCP.

Players can join a host that has portforwarded by using the hosts External IP Address. The host can find their External IP Address at: http://www.whatsmyip.org/

Sadly ubisof (the ones that helped conquest to be) droped conquest 2 so then they tryed a kick starter but it failed


but there is hope! because the dev of conquest is now working on desent underground! and it is a possablty that when that game is finished Conquest:VU might be alive! he did say after all 80 or 60% of the game was compleated

[athelasloraiel]

Lets hope for it.

yep but for now the mod will do just as well!

If the devs did continue with Conquest 2: Vyrium Uprising, would they keep everything as-is or would they endeavor to remaster the game a little bit to fit with the graphical standards of today?

If not, would there be any chance of them making a Conquest 3 which did bring the series up to date?

Good question!

I talked to the dev really, and he is currently creating Decnet: underground! and he said once it is done, the plan is to make conquest 2!

It maybe as is, it still looks pretty good even for today standers! The graphics looks near Starcraft 2 model details anyways!

I hope for conquest 2, they do this.

Early ascess, online play only.

Take this mod, fix the crashes and vola! You have the start for the early ascess!

Back in those days, they didn't know how to use micro transactions so they put 675.000$ kickstarter. And it failed...
