It looks like StarCraft II won't be the only PC game coming out next week. Paradox Interactive has just announced that the historical naval strategy game Commander: Conquest of the Americas has "gone gold" and will be released via download and through retail outlets on July 30.

Developed by Nitro Games (who previously released East India Company, also for Paradox Interactive) the game is set in the 16th century with players able to pick from one of seven European nations that are out to conquer the "New World" through trade and warfare. Players can establish colonies and grow their American empire and also take part in RTS-style naval battles. If you pre-order the game you get some extra content including "three extra ships, three new resources, seven new historical Commanders (one for each nation) and three new historical naval battles."
