Pre-Season Update Patch Notes

Please note that only major new gameplay additions are listed below. For the full patch notes, including extensive optimisations and other changes, please visit the Conqueror's Blade website.
Doctrines
A Doctrine is an item that can be applied to your units (via the U interface) to provide them with powerful battlefield abilities, these can be acquired through the new War Scholar interface. Units can only have up to five active Doctrine at a time. By replacing one, an old Doctrine is permanently lost. Unwanted Doctrines can be dismantled for a chance of getting new ones through the War Scholar interface.
Signacula
A Signaculum is an item that gives a 5% discount to the Honour cost of unlocking a random unit. Up to 20 can be used (by right-clicking or via the Unit screen - press U) to reduce the Honour cost to zero. There are two types of Signacula, blank and unit-specific, which can be obtained via the new War Scholar interface.
War Scholar
The War Scholar is a new NPC located in capital cities, accessible to level 12 Warlords and above. The War Scholar interface can also be accessed by pressing X. The War Scholar is able to seek out Signacula (to reduce the Honour cost of unlocking new units) at the cost of one Battle Relic, and Doctrines (used to increase a unit's abilities), at the cost of one Treatise.
Warlord Gender Unlock
Weapon types are no longer restricted by your character's gender. Male and female characters can now use all weapon types. The following content has been added:
- Female Spears
- Female Poleaxes
- Female Longbows
- Male Dual Blades
- Male Shortbows
