Game Migrated to Another Steam Page News

Last week we challenged you to guess which suitor most impressed a lady warlord seeking companionship, with the promise that those choosing correctly would receive an XP bonus for the duration of the Valentines Day weekend. Well, we’re happy to report that not only did many of you select wisely, but the happy couple are already planning a second date and have requested that we reward everyone instead of the few.

Thanks to the generosity of our fictional fighting duo, from 17:00 Server Time on Friday 14th February to 17:00 on Monday 17th February, all active characters will enjoy a 30% boost to hero XP, unit XP and Bronze income from matchmaking battles. So, if there’s no love in the air for you this weekend, the sound of battle can stir your loins instead!

Booming Games, the developer behind Conqueror’s Blade, is based in Hangzhou, China, where efforts to control the spread of the novel coronavirus are unfortunately having an impact on the team’s daily lives and the development of Conqueror’s Blade. It is our top priority that the Booming Games team and their families remain safe and well throughout this viral outbreak.

The novel coronavirus has been declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern by the World Health Organization (WHO), and with travel restrictions and office closures in effect in China, MY.GAMES and Booming Games are taking every necessary and required precaution to ensure the safety of our colleagues at this time.

Access to the Booming Games office and development hardware is currently limited, and has been for several weeks. As a result, some planned content releases for Conqueror’s Blade will be delayed. We have a few updates on the current status of the game and future content releases to share:

• Conqueror’s Blade remains fully operational and playable, and we anticipate no impact on the live version of the game.
  
• The Winter Light Festival has been extended until February 19 at 13:00 CET.
  
• Season II: Wrath of the Nomads, which was originally scheduled to end on February 29, will be extended (the final end date will be communicated in the coming weeks).
  
• The final two Campaigns of Season II, Conqueror’s Crown and Imperial Dawn, will be released at a later date.
  
• Booming Games is in the process of adding the finishing touches to the Conqueror’s City, which is tentatively planned for release with Campaign 4: Conqueror’s Crown on March 3 (this date may be subject to change).
  
• The launch of Season III will be delayed. While it was originally scheduled to launch shortly after the end of Season II, this extra time will allow Booming Games to focus on making Season III the best it can possibly be.
  

Booming Games has the full support of MY.GAMES during this time, and we are looking forward to welcoming our colleagues back to the battlefield when it’s safe for them to return. Thank you for your patience and understanding, and please look out for more updates on exciting future content in Conqueror’s Blade!

Designed more to hoard resources rather than to deter anyone from taking them, The Storehouse’s defences are currently being added to in an effort to keep its local riches safe. It’s an undertaking that seems to have had the opposite effect - drawing warlords towards conquering it for themselves rather than keeping them at bay.

HISTORY

Despite the land being abundant with farms and the forests rich with game, landlords have sought to stockpile more than their fair share of the area’s resources - as much to keep the locals in line as to hope to control prices. In return - despite it being a place of great learning - this Ostarian castle has long been referred to as the “The Storehouse”, a name that has attracted more than a few undesirables. In an effort to deter pilferers and usurpers, the current ruler has financed the building of an outer stockade. So far, it hasn’t had the desired effect.



SCOUTING REPORT

With its narrow profile and tiered defence, The Storehouse might seem like a simple map, but it has some interesting characteristics that are worth highlighting. The obvious one is that there are two very different flavours of fortification. First, there is the outer stockade, which has two main entry points and seven sections than can be quickly scaled. Because the defenders have an imposing inner sanctum to withdraw to - which isn’t the case for a map like Frontier Camp - the outer wall should fall quite quickly. The difficulty for an attacker comes with breaching the second line of defence, which aside from being made of sterner stuff, is topped with a number of artillery pieces that can seriously slow an attacker down. Unfortunately for the defenders of the Storehouse, there’s no way to block the passage of any attack aside from with troops, due to the gatehouses remaining open and ladders circling the main battlements. Needless to say that holding the centre isn’t quite as easy as it looks and, being a compact map overall, encounters can be very intense and the tide of battle quick to change.



PLAN OF ATTACK

• Both defensive walls are ringed with artillery so don’t get caught for too long out in the open. Move quickly to breach the outer stockade - using the battering ram is probably too time-consuming and unnecessary - and silence those pesky guns
  
• The Storehouse is a map that rewards quick thinking and even quicker movement. Don’t give the defenders time to reorganise or formulate a counter-attack. Keep pressing forward but in a coordinated manner.
  
• There is an enemy supply point located in the north of the map, which is the only one within the castle walls. Securing the area could be essential if breaking through to the final capture point becomes difficult.
  

DEFENSIVE MEASURES

• There’s no shortage of battlement-mounted weaponry, almost enough for every warlord to simultaneously be able to shoot hot fiery death into the advancing enemy ranks. Not only can you thin out enemy units as they advance, but you should also be able to enjoy a good view of the opposition in its entirety.
  
• The wooden fortifications are not going to hold for long, but don’t retreat to the inner keep too readily. Use the north of the map to harry and outflank your opponent - a charge from behind can break can be the ruin of an attack.
  
• The inner keep is very compact, with high walls dropping onto the small courtyard and its control point. To keep it, you need to retain the high ground, especially the western side from which you’ll need to reinforce and counter-attack. If you concentrate your forces within the control point rather than around it, you will lose.
  

Even the most dedicated warlord want’s to find love, whether it’s from their downtrodden subjects, their most loyal troops, or an undiscovered soulmate who shares the same interests - such as laying siege to castles and slaying everyone inside. Unfortunately, finding a medieval life partner isn’t easy, which is why some warlords have to go about it the only way they know how - by competing for affection.

In the picture above you can see one such bout underway, in which three suitors are vying for the attention of a fair maiden in brutal word-based combat. But, wait! The damsel appears in some distress, having to decide between the three hapless admirers.

All you have to do to see how this brief encounter ended is head over to our Facebook page and select the chat-up line you think won the heart of the iron maiden. If you’re correct, you’ll be among those swept away with in-game boosts during the Valentine weekend.

Spread the love and good luck!
