Warhammer: Chaos & Conquest News

Greetings, Mighty Lords!

📣 We've just updated the game with a new hot-fix (3.6). Patch Notes are as follows:

Orgotts Daemonspew has joined the rank of Legendary Warlords with a 5th stat when reaching Skull Rank 6. This stat is Nurgle Ranged Damage Bonus and at maximum level will provide a 45% bonus.

The challenge rewards from the Empire City Domination challenges have been improved and will be available for the beginning of the Championship this weekend.

The rewards for executing enemy Champions when your Capture Pit is above level 29 have been improved to remove two duplicate items. These duplicates have been replaced with sought after Beastmen components.

👉 The following Spoils have had their drop rates increased and the number of spoils dropped to closer match previous Spoil drop rates:

• Spoils of the Warpfire
  
• Elven Spoils
  
• Icy Spoils
  
• Small Blood Spoils
  
• Blood Spoils
  
• Large Blood Spoils
  
• Conquest Spoils
  

We hope you enjoy this little update!

Hello Lords of Chaos,

This is a minor hotfix for a few minor issues.

Fixes:

• Fixed a display bug where healing troops would still display units as being healed when they already finished healing.
  
• Fixed a display bug where the twisting tower defence buff was displayed as attack buff.
  
• Fixed a display issue with race buffs and warlords.
  
• Lowered secondary connection timeout.
  

This release will roll out to other platforms in the next few days.

💀 Mighty Conquerors! 💀

Get ready for the annual Warhammer festival that is SKULLS! Once a year only, we join our friends in the Warhammer universe to celebrate all things Skull related, with an action-packed week of events, prizes, and offers! To celebrate it, we’re excited to announce that the next new faction coming to Chaos and Conquest will be the Vampire Counts.



With the deluded followers of Chaos' attention being firmly distracted by the thin-blooded elves across the sea, an ancient evil stirs in Sylvania. The dark Nobility of that benighted province of the Empire has arisen again and sent word to their vassal necromancers. Raise their swiftest minions and dispatch them across the Empire. Scout their enemies and prepare the way for the return of the Vampire Counts to the courts of the Empire!

A new event, ‘Dark Riders Abound!’ will be beginning immediately across all servers. In this event, ancient knights from a distant past thunder across the landscape on their twisted unholy steeds! Black Knights have arrived in a new event which will run throughout this week!

Defeat these Undead Foes to claim a new Skeletal Remnants crafting component which in turn can be used to craft 2 new items, an Obsidian Blade or a Skull Chalice which will be the first 2 items in the Undead Barrow Set.

Additionally a new Vanquish skill will be available, Bane of the Undead, allowing your Champion to gain bonus damage against Undead Foes.

For the duration of the Skulls festival and ONLY here on Steam, the Warlords or Khorne DLC - containing the Herald of Khorne, the Skullhunter, and the Bloodthirster - will be available at a 60% discount.
