A New Year Letter: Let's talk about units

Greetings, Warlord,
 
Over the past year, we’ve heard your voices loud and clear: “Grinding my units feels exhausting.” Every time we read these messages, we feel it deeply—new commanders brimming with ambition, yet held back by the grind, forced to retreat before their armies even take shape.
 
“The first lesson on the battlefield shouldn’t be compromise.”
 
As veterans who’ve fought alongside you in Conqueror’s Blade, we understand: Building your units shouldn’t feel like a soulless chore, and your tactical freedom shouldn’t be shackled by resource costs. For months, we’ve been fine-tuning a solution that balances your freedom to play your style with the core integrity of the battlefield.
 
This Lantern Festival, we’re ready to unveil our phased answer: LIMITED-TIME EVENT: [Potential Unleashed Initiative: Elite Unit Access]
 
Tactical Playground (Time-Limited Free Access) Log in and claim 16 max-level units (pre-equipped with Doctrines). Four core features ensure pure, unbridled combat:
  • Time-Limited Free Access — Jump into battle instantly without limit.
  • Full Freedom— Use these units in all matchmaking modes.
  • Elite Builds — Reduced Leadership costs let you mix and match for endgame-ready strategies.
  • Diverse Playstyles — Spears, shields, bows, cavalry—find your true calling.

 
Seamless Transition (Post-Event)
After the free period ends: Extend for 30 Days — Keep your favorite units longer with a low-cost renewal.
 
Why launch this during Lantern Festival?
Because we remember the Warlord who messaged us last New Year’s Eve: “Three straight losses ruined my holiday feast.” This update isn’t just a lantern guiding you through resource struggles—it’s our pledge: “We’ll dismantle every barrier to your glory, one by one.” Your feedback will directly shape future updates (e.g., extending free access, and making it available in more modes). 
 
May these 16 battle-hardened units ignite your conquests. See you on the battlefield, Warlords!

[Snake's Fortune] Time to set off fireworks with legendary musket!

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
 
 
Ancient people worshipped the golden snake as a deity, believing that when encountering storms, it could rise with the wind, control thunder and lightning, overlook all living beings, and even calm the rivers and seas.
 
For the upcoming Spring Festival, we will release a legendary musket attire [Snake's Fortune], based on the legend of the Golden Snake. This attire combines the worship of the Golden Snake deity with the beauty of cloisonné, bursting with unprecedented brilliance inside the colorful barrel.
 
 
[Snake's Fortune] will make your musket a fireworks launcher, and all of the skills are accompanied by dazzling golden effects: the incendiary bullets turn into flowering fireworks; the iron caltrops turn into spinning top fireworks; the Five Rounds Rapid will shoot out fireworks shells. Blackpowder Grenade causes thunderous explosions, and both of these ultimate skills end with the soaring golden snake.
 
With one bang of the cannon, a fortune in gold is brought. [Snake's Fortune] will make the saying come true, accompanied by a barrage of bullets hitting targets with the scattering of gold coins, a physical manifestation of wealth.
 

[h3]Background Story[/h3]
According to legend, there was an ancient kingdom in the Far East. Under the rule of a wise king, the kingdom prospered, except for the raging waves of a great river flowing through, which brought great suffering to the people on both banks.
 
The wise king tried to calm the turbulent waters and bring peace to the people. On the day when the river was at its highest, he summoned tens of thousands of elite soldiers to fire a barrage of arrows at the river's crest, forcing the tide to recede and gradually calming the water disasters.
 
During this battle, a golden snake is said to appear at the king's side and aided his success. From then on, future kings regarded the golden snake as a symbol of auspicious weather and adorned it on their ceremonial weapons to demonstrate their divine favour and ensure peace throughout the empire.
 
The design of [Snake's Fortune] incorporates the legend of the Golden Snake, with two red-eyed golden snakes winding around the body of the musket, which is carved with ancient Chinese patterns. The snakes' scales are cast in gold and decorated with lotus blossoms, shining brightly as if imbued with the power to vanquish evil and ward off malevolent spirits.
 
Gold and silver threads, cloisonné colors, a rare unique treasure in the world. In the barrel section, we refer to the texture of cloisonné, crystal clear like glass, deep and captivating like a gem. Looking into it, you can almost feel the swirling energy of time and space.
