Gala Networks Europe announced today that Terra Militaris, its free-to-play browser MMORTS, will be getting its first major expansion in the coming weeks. The Conquest expansion will add all sorts of content to the game. Here's an overview:

• The Trials of the Champion instance will contains 50 levels of play for high-level players.
• Two new PvP modes will be added in the form of Siege War and Famous City War.
• The expansion will introduce an auction house to the game.
• A new lottery system called "Orbs of Fortune" will also launch with the expansion, which allows players to exchange coins for items and allows one free use per day, with the chance of winning rare heroes for the player’s army.
• The game’s UI will be significantly overhauled to increase ease-of-use and visibility. Hotkeys will also be implemented for issuing commands and navigating menus quickly.

A release date for the Conquest expansion has not been announced. Keep an eye on the Terra Militaris site for more details and to try out the game in your browser.
