Long live Age of Heroes!

The dawn of a new age is upon us. With it, preparations and arrangements are in order, Exile. Here's a quick guide to help you on what's been and what's to come!

[h2]Before Age of War ends [/h2]
[h3]Battle Pass [/h3]
First things first, have you finished your Battle Pass season? Ensure you complete any levels left behind and claim all your rewards before the new Age arrives.
As stated on a previous post, there will be no new Battle Pass seasons in the future. So, feel free to toss those coins you were saving for another season into the Bazaar to get your hands on the items before the new rotation!

[h3]Freya [/h3]
Our favorite Aesir Warrior will become a different kind of follower when the update hits. Freya will rise from the ashes as a new companion! If you want to recruit her as a standard follower, do it now... the traditional way. And if you've got a few stashed away, don't worry. You'll still be able to place them as usual after the New Age arrives.

[h3]Headhunting [/h3]
Make haste, Exile! Take the sorcerer’s skulls to the Khitan wagons, get your Ancient Obolus, and buy whatever you can afford before they take a break from business. The Headhunters will return at an unknown time when their thirst for sorcerers' must be quenched once more. We'll let you know when we see them coming!

[h2]Getting ready for Age of Heroes [/h2]
[h3]Living Settlements [/h3]
Is your stronghold ready to become a vibrant and suitable place for all the workers who will soon become followers? Once the Age of Heroes Living Settlements feature arrives, your workers will be available to be placed on the ground just like any other follower. Unlike fighters, archers, and performers, they will have dynamic behaviors and needs to fulfill.
Make sure to have campfires, beds, and chairs at their disposal. A water fountain and fireplace are also great options for your worker-followers to enjoy.

Don't forget to check distance, too. Even as your workers move around, they will provide bonuses to workbenches up to ~140 meters, or a little over 50 foundation blocks away. You can select which crafting bonuses you want from a new window at each crafting station! For more details, [click here for the blog].

Having a place to yourself is also good for a clan leader's mental health. If there are places you don't want to share with the staff, block access by swapping out stairs for elevators! Removing doors would also work a lot like removing certain stairs from certain pools in other lands...wink wink!

Finally, plan ahead for the outfits and equipment you want your new followers to rock! Craft stunning armor to dress your new followers in. Or keep them in rags...it's your choice...we will judge though.

[h3]Companions [/h3]
The new companions will test the knowledge and strength of even the most seasoned warriors of the Exiled Lands! Explore beforehand to understand the clues your companions will drop in conversation. Level up and gear up to survive the hunts and battles ahead!

While you're at it, it might be time to follow the Dead Sorcerer’s map and learn more about the dark arts of spells and incantations. A few blood flasks would also come in handy.

Age of Heroes is coming in October. Grab your gear and potions, arrange your workshop, and set up a dining hall. A new life is about to begin in the Exiled Lands!

Greetings Exiles!

The wait is almost over! We’re excited to announce that the Age of Heroes will arrive on October 17!

This is the dawn of a new age, and the team has worked hard to make sure this update feels like it. Soon, you will accompany fully voiced heroes as their legend is made, eventually recruiting them as companions to your cause. The unique perks they acquire will depend on your actions in these epic quests.



Living Settlements, the second major feature in Age of Heroes, will breathe life into your base thanks to worker thralls now existing in the world, reacting to their surroundings and living their life.

All of this will come with bug fixes and multiple smaller changes. We can’t wait for you to embark on this new adventure in the Exiled Lands. Only a week to go!

Slay and Survive, Exile!

Greetings!
The Age of Heroes is coming soon, so how about pulling up a chair and sharing a meal with the hard workers at your base? Living Settlements is a new feature which will breathe new life into your buildings! All crafting thralls will ~get a life~ and try to fulfill their needs when they are done with their duties.

[h2]Living Settlements [/h2]
Prior to this feature, your workers were mere items at their assigned workstations. With Living Settlements their new life is about to begin as they will be freed from their restraints.


[h3]Needs [/h3]
Each worker will have their own internal needs to simulate dynamic behavior. While their workstations will still display their bonuses and recipes, their behavior will take on a new flavor with animations based on their needs. Every "need" determines what your followers will be looking for in your base:

• For hunger, they will be in search of a campfire, chairs, or communal benches. They'll sit down and enjoy their meal or a drink.
  
• For rest, a cozy spot by the fire will do the trick.
  
• For sleeping, they will need beds, so don't be cheap, bed rolls won't do the trick!
  
• For the work “need”, they will seek available workstations.

Additionally, if your base comes under attack, worker-followers will have the instinct to flee or join the fight. Their instincts should match their profession, but you won’t know who’s willing to die for your clan until they are tested in battle.

While this new feature will add some spice to your constructions and help improve the immersion, you don’t have to worry about managing resources for their needs. Your workers won’t pull items from your chests or food from your preservation boxes. Their new behaviors are designed to enhance role-play and evoke a sense of vitality within the village setting at no cost to you!

[h3]Workers will become followers [/h3]
Workers are no longer items you place in a slot on workstations. Once they join you or your clan and live on your base, they'll apply available bonuses and recipes to all stations relevant to their profession and tier within a 140m radius (about 54 foundation blocks). An updated crafting station interface lets you choose which thrall bonuses you want.

Once the update is deployed, your workers will remain in their previously assigned workstations. You can then select the ones you want to place on the ground, just as you did before with any fighter, archer, or performer. Set them to follow you, move them around, and place them on chairs, beds, and many other interactable placeables made available in this chapter. But remember, they will prioritize their needs and may insist on moving accordingly.

New bonuses and worker selection UI
[h3]New interactions with placeables [/h3]
To make sure they have what they need, we also expanded the interaction between NPCs and placeables. For example, you will now have thralls grilling food, stirring pots and mixing potions, and you may find your workers taking a nap in your bed! While moving your followers, walk around your base looking for green ghostly figures – each ghostly outline shows you where a thrall can be placed!

New interaction possibilities
[h3]Dress them up! [/h3]
Your workers deserve more than potato sacks and fiber wraps as they do the heavy lifting around your base. With Living Settlements, we are also unlocking a long-awaited feature requested by our community: to dress up your workers! As well as any fighter before, workers will now have equipment slots where you can change their clothing and weapons. Style them according to their profession, or not! It’s up to you how you want them to dress for the occasion.

Exile, get ready for a brighter Age! Tidy up your base, add more seats to the table, and cozy resting spots! Will you provide a good life for your followers or lock them in a damp dungeon dressed in rags?

Age of Heroes Chapter One is coming in October with Living Settlements, free will to your crafter thralls, new animations, new UI on workbenches, and much more! Don't miss out on the comprehensive FAQs that give you all the details on the latest content coming with the update.

Greetings Exiles!
Gather your swords and shields, for the Age of Heroes is soon upon us, and you will be on a quest for blood and vengeance throughout the Exiled Lands! Prepare your bandages and aloe extracts, for this October will bring more than just the hauntings of Yog.

As the New Age approaches, we are excited to introduce you to another type of accomplice to join you in your barbarian way of life: Companions!

[h2]Companions [/h2]
The Gods have heard your pleas. You have asked for a different kind of follower, perhaps even a sorcerer, and they have decided it is time to answer!

Companions are a new type of followers who are not itemized or subjugated into accompanying you. Instead, they will require commitment and dedication in order to perceive you as the hero they can walk behind.

When the Chapter arrives, two such companions will be permanently added to the Exiled Lands. Once you find them, you will be able to embark on new adventures, challenges, and quests! You will take the lead in some of the quests, but there will be parts of this story you will write together with your new companions, as they follow or guide you into completing what’s needed to reach their goal.

Each companion has their own demons to contend with. You, the exile, must decide if your sweat and blood are expendable to help these strangers in need.
Although companions are still balanced in tune with existing followers, new powers, abilities, and perks will accompany them.


Be mindful of your actions as your choices will shape their future. As followers, companions will have perks that shape their abilities. Which will be unique to their skill set based on who they are and what their story is about.

By the end of their story, your companion can develop differently from another depending on your choices and actions. Once you recruit them, you can inspect their perks to learn exactly what moment from your journey together made them set on that perk and how those abilities will present when facing battle. Each companion has a total of six possible perks, although they will only be able to learn 3 through your interactions. Your companion could end up with a completely different set of perks than another brought in by a clan member. You may have multiple companions of the same character with distinct arrangements of perks. It’s up to you to progress through the quests for each additional one you aspire to recruit.

Another addition to the companions is the expansion of the lore. As you transverse the Lands, they will voice their memories, share details about specific locations, and enrich the experience of exploring the world. All of that is done with fully voiced dialogues, accompanied by subtitles that are localized in all languages available in Conan Exiles. Free them of their burden and travel together to learn where they have been and what memories they cherish or despise.

[h3]Liu Fei [/h3]
This chapter introduces you to Liu Fei, a mysterious sorcerer trapped somewhere among humanoid grey apes. But hey, what harm can there be in helping a sorcerer?


Follow his call. Listen carefully to his stories and decide if you are willing to take the risk of wielding your sword or casting incantations in his name.

[h3]Freya [/h3]
Reacquaint yourself with the wolfish Aesir warrior: Freya! She is waiting for a hero who will listen to her mournful chants and help her to get back on her feet as the fierce hunter that we all know and admire. Find her at a high peak surrounding the Northern Aqueduct.


A bloodthirsty desire for revenge is the setting for this adventure and it’s up to you to lead or be guided by this warrior! The way you handle the end of your sword will determine what traits of her strength will flourish the most.

Explore, Exile! Find Liu Fei and Freya and aid them until you obtain their trust. They'll come equipped with new perks and abilities that could prove to be a useful addition to your troops. That is... if you are capable of the greatest feat of gaining their loyalty first.

Age of Heroes Chapter One is coming in October with companions, improvements, and new cosmetic items on the Black Lotus Bazaar!
