Deep in the Highlands lies the ancestral home of the people - Broch Eastray. This historic site of the first Highlander settlement is sacred to the kinsfolk, but the Loegrians have invaded, and now it must be reclaimed.

Ancient settlements dot the landscape of Scotland, from mountaintop castles to coastal forts, with one particular site dating as far back as 5000 years—Skara Brae. Skara Brae is the historic site of a Neolithic Highlanders colony and pre-dates not only Stonehenge, but the Pyramids of Giza. The inhabitants of this ancient Scottish land appear to have abandoned their homes during a terrible storm, leaving behind ruins that would not be discovered until they were uncovered by weather conditions in 1850. As interesting as a Pompeii-esque tale of a catastrophic natural disaster would be to believe, historians have since concluded that the Skara Brae folk left of their own accord for unknown reasons.

Slightly younger castles and fortifications in Scotland still exist to this day and haven’t yet crumbled to the ravages of time and the harsh Northern climate. Built to last from stone and towering high above the green grasses of the Highland terrain, it’s easy to gaze upon one of these monuments and imagine the battles that took place for dominion of its walls.

This new 12v12 Siege Map for Season X: Highlanders invites players to defend or attack the ruins, using the resources of the nearby village to build defensive equipment and traps, or utilising multiple routes into the site to attack.

Fences to keep out intruders are scarce, but dangerous tar traps line the territory, and when ignited by fire damage, burst into flame, causing heavy losses for troops on the wrong side of its sticky wrath while also slowing down those who attempt to cross.

However, tar traps aren’t the only dangerous surprises to watch out for, as deployable incendiary catapults are also at the soldiers’ disposal—launching a cluster of burning cans at enemies for massive continuous damage to the surrounding areas.

Will you fight for freedom alongside the sons and daughters of the Highland clans? Stay tuned for more information and a complete guide on how to defend and attack Broch Eastray after Season X: Highlanders launches on December 21.

Clans will be united, and history will be made as three brand-new Seasonal Units arrive to fight for freedom in Season X: Highlanders. The last of the troops to answer the call to freedom is the Houndsmen (5-Star), the first Unit of its kind.

What could be better than charging into battle with a fiercely loyal companion? Less man’s best friend, and more “man’s best killing machine on four legs”, canines have been used throughout history in both hunting and warfare.

With gnashing jaws and slashing paws, dogs were used to break up enemy formations in war before their human counterparts were sent in to attack, using the chaos to their advantage.

In Scotland, inscribed stones have been found to show mounted hunters accompanied by dogs, proving that there is no greater friend in battle than a fluffy one for the people of the Highlands.

In Conqueror’s Blade, hunting with hounds is among the many peacetime pursuits of the Highlands nobility. Those with superior hunting prowess become the dedicated master of the hunt for their clan. The Houndsmen themselves are kennel masters—responsible for keeping the hunting grounds safe from poachers and Loegrian intruders. The Highlanders’ enemies consider the use of dogs in battle to be an underhanded tactic, most likely because of the high levels of success these attacks tend to enjoy.


Armed with bows, the Houndsmen have mid and long-range precision archery damage at their disposal, as well as their deerhounds to deploy for savage melee encounters.

The hound is as loyal to its hunter as the hunter is to his hound, and their close relationship extends to a loyal bond on the battlefield. As both fight, the damage they deal increases, and the dogs will never leave their side. When a hound is struck down, the hunter will unleash his full force on the enemy to avenge his fallen companion.

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!
