Recruit warriors from the far reaches of the Highlands when three brand-new Seasonal Units arrive in Season X: Highlanders. The second of these new Units is a heroic band of greatsword-wielding warriors: the Claymores (4-Star).

Originating in Scotland and brandished in battles between 1400–1700 by Highland Scots, a claymore is often referred to as The Blade of Scotland. The unique weapon was created in the early Renaissance period, and the name is derived from the Gaelic word “claidheamohmor”, meaning “great sword”. The word ‘greatsword’ is attributed to any two-handed double-edged sword, whereas a ‘claymore’ is the term for the similar yet basket-hilted blade historically used by Scottish Highlanders.

While greatswords are often cumbersome due to their immense size and weight, the claymore had ample slashing power and, in close quarters, could hack through an enemy formation like a hot knife through butter.

In Conqueror’s Blade, the Highlander clans march into battle at the side of their chieftain, and there is no greater honour that can be bestowed upon a soldier than to be entrusted with one of the prized claymores; forged by the most skilled swordsmiths in the land and capable of cutting through steel mail and flesh alike.

Going all-out with every attack, the Claymores make excellent shock troops by charging into battle, gaining defence as they attack. The enemies of the clans dread conflicts where they must face these fearless warriors, particularly after the Battle of Gallows Hill, where thirty claymore-armed warriors held off many times their own numbers in the face of a furious barrage from the Loegrians.

Unite the clans in Conqueror’s Blade when Season X: Highlanders launches on December 21!

As the new season approaches, so too do a myriad of improvements to Conqueror’s Blade! Check out the following features being added or improved in Season X: Highlanders:

WeaponSpecialisation System

Starting in Season X, Mastery Points will be converted into Skill Points (up to a limit of 100,000 and at a ratio of 2.5 to 1). All skills will then be unlocked using Skill Points. Scholarly Texts will be converted into Mastery Points.

Mount Maintenance

If you find yourself constantly needing to keep an eye on your loyal steed’s health, that will cease to be a concern. Hay will be removed in Season X, including the Hay available from the in-game Horse Seller.

When Season IX: Tyranny ends, Hay will be converted into Bronze (at a conversion rate of 1:500).

Character Creation and Personalisation

Get ready for a smoother character creation process in Season X, as well as brand-newface tattoo designs! Ink your Warlord’s face with several new designs to breathe new life and personality into your characters (plus, they just look really cool).

The personalisation menu will now include hair style, hair colour, facial tattoos, and scar adjustments.

Inventory Optimisation

Tabs will be added to optimise the inventory for cleaner organisation, and you can find your items in Hero, consumable, and materials tabs.

The Wagon has also had a makeover and will contain collected resources, artillery, and other tabs.

Territory Wars

Territory Wars will also undergo some changes in Season X, including adjustments to match/battle durations, initial Fief Levels and Fief Quests, Cohort/Imperial Restorationist Fief Ownership, Construction Items, Open-World marching, and more.

Stay tuned for more changes and even more detailed information in the patch notes when Season X: Highlanders launches on December 21!

The sons and daughters of the Highlands have answered the call to fight for freedom, and three brand-new Seasonal Units are coming to Season X: Highlanders. The first of these new Units brings a brand-new battle mechanic to the fray: the Bagpipers (3-Star).

Historically, the bagpipes were so feared as a “weapon of war” that they were classified as such until as recently as 1996. To Scottish armies of old, bagpipes were more than just an instrument—they were a political symbol, marching their men into harm’s way to a glorious melody in the pursuit of freedom. Pipers were even stationed at the Battle of Waterloo as part of the 79th (Cameron Highlanders) Regiment of Foot, and their music reinforced the resolve of the regiments.

While some may think of bagpipes as an instrument of torture due to their loud and sometimes grating blares, they certainly intimidate enemy forces and were carried and played by ancient Scottish clans of old to do just that. In Conqueror’s Blade, the Bagpipers will carry on this rich history of political symbolism, intimidation, and uplifting performance.

Perhaps now thought of as reserved for royal ceremonies, funerals, and Hogmanay, the bagpipes remain a staple of Scottish culture, and their tradition is kept alive to this day.

The first unit of their kind in Conqueror’s Blade and our foray into bard-type mechanics, the Bagpipers provide stirring martial music as they march into battle alongside the Highlander armies, bolstering morale and the fighting spirit of the men.

While they may not be equipped with conventional weapons such as broadswords or spears, the Bagpipers have their own unique way of carrying their troops to victory—buffing their allies’ attacks with inspiring melodies. The music of these defiant men makes such a difference to the Highland units in battle that the Loegrians have forbidden the playing of their tunes wherever they can, deeming the sound of bagpipes to be an incitement to insurrection.
