Conqueror's Blade News

Greetings, Warlords!
We will conduct maintenance updates from 08:00-11:30 on September 12th (UTC+8). The maintenance is expected to last for 3.5 hours. After the maintenance, we will distribute Bronze Coins*8000, Honor*400 and Unit Medal*20 as compensation. Warlords, please arrange your playtime accordingly. The update will contain the following:
 

[h3]1. Doctrine Pool Rotation[/h3]
Info:
[Bold Advance] is now available. In [Bold Advance], the chance to excavate epic melee cavalry doctrines is increased.
Time:
9/12 after maintenance - 9/29 before maintenance
 

[h3]1. Transfer[/h3]

• 
  After a successful transfer request for the season reservation, the transfer will take place during the maintenance of the new season. After the transfer, items and resources in the inventory, supply dump, wagons and resource piles will be automatically transferred to the new server (excluding items and resources within the Auctioneers).
  
  
• 
  During the transfer, it is not possible to carry items and resources that have been listed by the [Auctioneers], as well as unclaimed items and resource piles. It is advised to empty the Auctioneers before maintenance to avoid any losses.
  
  
• 
  In order to minimize potential losses caused by the issues above, the item listing function for the Auctioneers will be temporarily disabled from September 12 (after the maintenance) until September 19 (before the next maintenance). During this period, the purchase, removal, and resource pile collection of items already listed will not be affected.
  
  

• 
  Fixed the issue of abnormal task redirection in [Greeting of Beacon].
  
  
• 
  Fixed the issue where players may use mortal artillery remaining in Eagle Eye view when they switch to the Eagle Eye view during the process of taking over the Artillery.
  
  
• 
  Optimized the effect description of the doctrine [Artemis] (without changing the current actual effect).
  
  
• 
  Fixed the issue of the abnormal outline and shadows of high-tier [Blazing Plumes] attire.
  
  
• 
  Fixed the issue of the overlapped text effects of heroes' emote action [Divination].
  
  
• 
  Fixed the issue where the battering ram could not break the city gate of Abrivia in the Territory War.
  
  

 

Greetings warlords!
Massive congratulations to YB, champion of the Western Conference, and JX, champion of the Eastern Conference!

This Saturday, CB's first global match will be held, and we are thrilled to witness this exciting moment. As you know, CB is now working on forming a global community, and this match is also an opportunity for you to meet players from all over the world.

This is not only a global match but also a friendship match. Therefore, we’re bringing some new changes:
 

• 
  The teams will still compete in a BO5 format.
  
  
• 
  The following popular maps, which have been frequently selected, will be banned on both sides: Hidden City, Wall Fort, Harbour City, and White Elk Fort. (A new challenge for our outstanding teams, huh?)
  
  

There are also some technical issues like ping differences. This is because the distance between Europe and Asia is really far, so ping issues objectively exist. However, we will try our best to provide a better battle experience for all warlords. We have prepared a new tournament server that will offer nearly identical ping for both sides, ensuring that the two teams can participate in the competition fairly and smoothly. Nonetheless, the slogan of this global match should always be 'Friendship first, competition second’.
 
Stay tuned on Saturday and follow our streams here: https://www.twitch.tv/conquerorsbladedevs
We will share the exciting matches with you in real-time on that day!

When Gustavus Adolphus landed in northern Germany with his army, intervening in the long-running Thirty Years' War, the Free Imperial Cities regarded him with skepticism. How could these barbarians from a distant winter, who couldn't even equip their cavalry with proper armor, defeat the Imperial army under the Habsburg banner?

[h2]Aurora's Glory Design Notes[/h2]

It was not until after the Battle of Breitenfeld that the independent city-states within the Holy Roman Empire realized the profound transformation that had taken place within the northern reinforcements. They began to rally around this king, even as his enemies began to learn from him..

• Rumor had it that the new King of the North was an eccentric man. He disliked royal etiquette and rarely attended high-society gatherings. Instead, he preferred to spend his time in workshops with engineers and mathematicians, discussing obscure theories that would make ordinary people's eyelids droop after a few sentences. Court attendants even attested to seeing the king disguised as an officer, sneaking into other countries to inspect their armies and arsenals, often putting himself in danger. Yet, he reveled in it. He was more like a general or a ranger than a king. However, only those closest to him knew that the king had long foreseen the dark clouds gathering over the Western world. A great war was coming, and as king, only by surpassing the times could he make the name of the Northern Kingdom resound throughout the world.
  

• Primarily inspired by the attire of musketeers and military nobility during the Thirty Years' War. The female attire is based on the sword training garb of Queen Christina, Gustavus' daughter, while the male attire references historical depictions of Gustavus himself.
  

[h2]Northern Lion Attire Design Notes[/h2]

As Gustavus Adolphus arrived at Lützen under a shroud of fog, Generalissimo Wallenstein and his 20,000 elite troops awaited. The King, eager to crush them before Imperial reinforcements arrived, charged into the thick fog with his royal guard...

• Brigands, massacres, plunder, blood...
  
• In the dark years of war, a hopeless night enveloped all, as if hell had returned to earth. People, numb and driven mad, slaughtered each other. It was then that the roar of the "Lion of the North" tore through the heavy darkness. His cannons drove back the demons disguised as men, his sharp blade severing their ignorance.
  
• People remembered the prophecy: "The northern star heralds the arrival of the lion, who will bring light back to the world." The king, from then on, was seen as a symbol of transcendence. All believed that the king, clad in the symbol of the morning star, forever charging at the forefront of his army, would lead the world out of the darkness, through the fog, and towards the future of their dreams.
  
  

• Based on Gustavus' image at the Battle of Lützen, emphasizing his title of "Warrior King."
  
• The cape on his back bears the imagery of the morning star, alluding to the prophecy of astrologers that Gustavus, as the Lion of the North, would become the savior of the West.
  
• The lion-shaped helmet emphasizes his title, "Lion of the North."
  

The fires of war intensify.
Witness the revolution in warfare on September 19th.

Greetings Warlords,
 
We have been working on forming a global community over the past couple of months, with some important steps taken already. we have taken more and more steps to unify the CB experience for players around the globe.
Today we have some very important announcements that affect a large part of our fantastic community, that we think will spark a lot of joy amongst you! These will take effect when the new season starts on the 19th of September 2024. Please read the following carefully.
 
[h2]One CB, One World[/h2]
Our aim with this move is to tie our community much closer together and empower you to truly participate in our global ecosystem. We want you to feel a greater sense of belonging, of cameraderie and healthy competition. To that end we have planned a lot of improvements to how we are running CB moving forward:
 

• 
  Global Community Events with cross-server competition
  
• 
  Global matchmaking for special events
  
• 
  Cross server friending and teaming: make friends and enemies globally
  
• 
  Easily create characters on ANY server through Steam (no more IP block)
  
• 
  Unified global website and store
  

 
Our ultimate goal here is to build a world where everyone can connect with everyone, no matter which server you are a part of. As you can see above we have a lot planned with the start of the new season and our global community unification, which will be packed with fun events that emphasize the global nature of our game. And in the future we even want you to participate in cross-continental Territory Wars!
This is an extension of our unification efforts that we implemented last month and each of these points will get more details The previous update balanced the in-game economy and shop, to get rid of different items and sovereign pricing. Now everyone's values are the same, no matter which server you joined, and best of all we reduced prices of a majority of shop items to enable more players to enjoy benefits.
In this step we also introduced our new approach to monetization, where we focus more on vanity and skins, rather than progression in the game. We hope this eases new players into the game reduces some of the friction that CB has had to game progression in the past. This new system was introduced in the first iteration as a luxury commodity and we understand that more players want to participate in such systems in the future. Thankfully, this iteration was successful and will enable us to more broadly develop in this direction. We got a lot of feedback from you about what you'd like to see in the next iteration and we hope you will like it!
 
[h2]Unified Presence[/h2]
With the beginning of the next season and in our quest to build a truly global community, we will implement the following changes :

1. Steam merge: We will merge our western Steam page (ex MyGames) into our original Poros Steam page (CB: Frontier), now simply called "Conqueror's Blade". The current situation of having two different Steam pages is a vestige of our old publishing relationship with MyGames. Since we are publishing the game now globally ourselves, having a fractured Steam presence is a hinderence and can actually be confusing to new players as well. So we decided that we are going to change that moving forward and only have one Steam page globally to emphasize the global nature of CB.
   

 

1. New launcher：For those of you do not use steam, we will combine two different versions of official launcher. In other words, starting from the new season, the Launcher will also be unified into one. However, we will try our best to lighten your burden. You won't need to re-download the launcher. The old launcher will auto-upgrade to the new version! Let me also reveal to you that the new Launcher has a completely new upgrade and design, and everyone only needs to download the client.
   

 

1. Unified website：We will merge the two webistes into one CB global website and remove all IP block restrictions. So we have a unified hub to look for information and also the same webshop.
   

 
Once the merge is completed, all players on those servers are required to download the game again, as required by Steam. While we can't change that, we are currently working with Steam to reduce the download burden as much as possible.
 
All in all, EVERY player on every server, is now allowed to freely create new characters on EVERY other server. Yay! We know quite a few players are doing this already, so this change is going to make that MUCH easier for you in the future. Now you can prove that your house is definitely better at CB than the noobs in the other regions ;). Which servers are you going to haunt first and what is your battle cry? 
We are also working on possible ways for you to transfer your current characters to other servers. However, this won't be part of the new season's start yet and we will come back to this once we have more to share.

 
 
Stay tuned to the upcoming announcements related to our in-game and community events during the Unification celebration. A livestream with the developers will be held on September 14th. You will be first to revel in more details about our roadmap, the new season and first-hand information about the upcoming changes.
 
Yours, The CB Dev Team
