Game Migrated to Another Steam Page News

Season X: Highlanders launched with critical issues reported by many players on December 21. After a period of maintenance and attempted server launches, we regret to announce that we were left with no choice but to perform a rollback to the launch of Season X: Highlanders (the December 21 update) to fix these critical errors. 

This means that Season X: Highlanders will start once again from the same point that maintenance was carried out on December 21, with any progress made since being reverted.

We apologise unreservedly for this situation. This isn’t how we wanted to present our new Season to you, and our team is working hard to resolve issues and deliver the experience you deserve. We thank you for your patience and understanding and hope to welcome you back to the battlefield soon. 

WHAT IS AFFECTED BY THE ROLLBACK? 

• Progress will be reset to the point of the maintenance carried out to deploy the Season X: Highlanders update on December 21, including (but not limited to) Battle Pass progression, Unit Veterancy, Unit unlocks, quests completed, and equipment crafted
• Sovereigns spent following the December 21 maintenance will be restored to you, with any Sovereigns being transferred from your web Inventory being restored to your Inventory
• In-game currency (including Bronze and Silver) spent following the December 21 maintenance will be restored to you
• Items consumed following the December 21 maintenance will be restored to you
• Items sent in-game from your web Inventory following the December 21 maintenance will be restored to your web Inventory

[h2]Seasonal Campaign: Highlanders[/h2]
Unite the Highland clans to fight for freedom, push back the Loegrian invasion, and claim epic rewards from the Battle Pass in an epic new Seasonal Campaign inspired by ancient Scotland’s wars for independence from England, and the tales of its legendary protectors and staunchest warriors.

Start your journey in Conqueror’s City in the heart of The Borderlands before taking the fight to Ungverija, Ostaria, and beyond. Follow the story of the Highlanders through five phases of the Campaign, and fight your way through twice-weekly Territory Wars with the sons and daughters of the Highlands by your side. Towards the end of the season, you will make your final stand for freedom at Turul Város.


[h2]Unite the Clans: 3 New Units[/h2]
Three new Seasonal Units are available to unlock via Unit Challenges throughout Season X: Highlanders. Each has its own unique set of talents and abilities, with two also bringing entirely new mechanics to the game:

• Bagpipers (3-Star) - Available Now: Marching to war with the soldiers of the Highlands, the Bagpipers bring new bard mechanics to Conqueror’s Blade by buffing their allies with stirring songs of battle.
• Claymores (4-Star) - Coming December 27: Wielding prized greatswords only bestowed upon the greatest warriors of the clans, the immense power of the Claymores makes them superb shock troops.
• Houndsmen (5-Star) - Coming Soon: Archers and animals combine to make a powerhouse of loyalty, unwavering companionship, and deadly precision damage.

[h2]Battle Pass: Exclusive Free & Premium Rewards[/h2]
Defend the Highlands to inherit its treasures from the all-new Season X Battle Pass! Over 100 levels of Premium rewards can be earned by completing Seasonal Challenges, earning Glory, and levelling up during Season X. Earn freedom for your clansmen to score the Clan Reiver Unit Attire, Highlands War Banner, Highland Fling Emote, and so much more. The Laird of the Isles Hero Attire is the ultimate reward to strive for, a glorious tribute to the guardian of the Highlands waiting to be claimed at Tier 100.

The Clan Chieftain Hero Attire is available as an instant reward when you purchase the Battle Pass from MY.GAMES Market, Steam, or in-game for 1,000 Sovereigns. Conqueror’s Blade is a free-to-play game, and there are many treasures to be claimed on the Free Pass too, including Blades, currency, and a Player Title: Sword Dancer!

You can also unlock Blades from the Battle Pass to exchange in the Seasonal Store for Highland-themed weapon skins and reborn cosmetics not seen since Season VI: Scourge of Winter!


[h2]New Siege Map: Broch Eastray[/h2]
The ancestral home of the Highlands people has been invaded by the Loegrians and must be reclaimed. Broch Eastray will be the stage for many historic battles for freedom in Season X: Highlanders!


This new 12v12 Siege Map 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 - stay tuned for more information.

“Music is nothing else but wild sounds civilised into time and tune.” - Thomas Fuller

These Northern troubadours make up for their lack of combat skills with morale-boosting bard mechanics, marching into battle alongside the troops of the Highlands, playing their bagpipes of war to instil fighting spirit into the soldiers.

The first Unit of their kind to enter Conqueror’s Blade, the Bagpipers stand strong in the face of the enemy and play their inspirational pipes throughout the campaign for freedom in Season X: Highlanders.

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

[h2]Unlocking[/h2]
The Bagpipers can be unlocked and recruited to your cause via Seasonal Unit Challenges, and they enjoy a Seasonal Bonus in the form of Leadership requirements decreased by 10 for the duration of Season X.

Their exclusive Doctrines reduce damage taken while playing their instruments in the heat of battle and enhance their area-of-effect.
[h2]Gameplay[/h2]
Though the Bagpipers do not charge into battle with a typical weapon, their chosen musical instruments of war can turn the tide of a conflict with ease.

Able to boost damage and defence stats of their surrounding allies with their skill-boosting melodies, this musical troop provide a much-needed (and brand new) Unit mechanic to bring into the fray.

Their Veterancy bonuses form a single chain dedicated to reinforcing them (as they cannot attack or defend themselves like other Units), with the choice between more range added to their area-of-effect or providing a stronger bonus for allies.


[h2]Just the facts: Bagpipers (3-Star)[/h2]
Formations

• Line: The band forms a single rank.
• Dispersed: Ideal for a performance, the Unit disperses..

Unit Traits

• Noncombatants: The Unit cannot attack or defend itself.
• Concentration: Playing a song for more than 10 seconds increases its buff effect.
• Highlanders: Leadership cost reduced by 10 during Season X.
• Encumbered: The Bagpipers’ movement speed is halved when playing.

Unit Orders

• Hearts of Bravery: When ordered to begin this rousing tune, the Bagpipers increase damage dealt by allies in their surrounding area.
• Unbending Spirit: On command, the bard troop will begin playing a tune that boosts the defensive points of their kinsmen.
• Segue: The Unit starts to play a variation on the song they were playing, which adds a new temporary boost for 6 seconds on top of the previous boost.

The Bagpipers Unit is available to unlock via Unit Challenges now!

NOTE: The above information is correct as of the time of publication. Please check in-game for the most up-to-date Unit information.
