Conquest is a ripoff of Slay.

[gruff]

Conquest is an inferior ripoff of Sean O'Connor's brilliant game Slay. Buy Slay, not Conqueror.

I've been reading the Slay forum thread about this matter, and I can see that it has caused some anger, so I'll try to explain as best as I can.

Basically, as Sean has told you, we attempted to do a deal to get the "Slay" name, but it didn't work out - at that point we decided that we would push on and try to make the game different from Slay as much as we could (not as easy as it first sounded unfortunately).

I'm sorry if you feel that our game is still too similar to Slay, but I assure you it was never our intent to "poach" anyone's idea or livelihood - we simply didn't want to waste the hard work we had put into this project up to that point.
