Illwinter Game Design is the name of a small software company in Sweden composed of Johan Karlsson and Kristoffer Osterman.[1] The company was started in the 1990s under the name Bogus Game Design, but later changed its name. Registered officially as Illwinter since September 18, 2001,[2] the team's product catalogue includes two long running series of fantasy strategy games: Conquest of Elysium and Dominions.
