[h2]Reworked Map Features[/h2]
New Weather Condition: Thunderstorms
The third map of the season will come with all-new rainstorm weather. Rain will pour down with thunder and lightning wrought by Thor himself! Prepare your assault under the cover of the storm.

Unit Reinforcements

Special unit reinforcements will be added to each reworked map, and NPC units will spawn for both sides. These will have high damage but low defence, and as the match begins, troops will start to advance immediately for both sides.

Reinforcements start to spawn for both sides after the attackers occupy specific locations.

More attackers will also spawn whenever the attackers occupy a new location. Powerful defenders will spawn should the attackers attempt to occupy the defenders' base.

[h2]Raid on Broch Eastray: June 9[/h2]
A group of Northlander marauders have attacked the sacred ruins at Broch Eastray, earning the ire of the Highlanders who are again mustering for war!

On Raid on Broch Eastray, when the attackers occupy A or points, fearsome units from Wolves of Ragnarok will begin spawning to aid their assault. Similarly, hardy warriors from Highlanders will begin spawning for the defenders.

[h2]Raid on Aurelian: June 27[/h2]
The Norsemen have sailed down the western coast of Pays-de-la-Gloire, and intend to pillage the city of Aurelian. A new raid is about to begin.

On Raid on Aurelian, when the attackers occupy A, combatants from Wolves of Ragnarok will begin spawning to aid their assault. Similarly, the people of Pays-de-la-Gloire (units from Conqueror’s Blade: Paragons) will begin spawning for the defenders.

[h2]Raid on Heilung Fjord: July 18[/h2]
The Northmen's own ancestral home of Heilung Fjord is the final stage on which epic battles will be won or lost.

On Raid on Heilung Fjord, when the attackers occupy A or B, Highlanders and Paragons fighters will begin spawning to aid their assault. Similarly, units from Wolves of Ragnarok will begin spawning for the defenders. Additional reinforcements will come to your aid when the attackers occupy other points.


Get ready to wage war in harsh conditions with additional threats on these reworked maps when Conqueror’s Blade: Helheim launches as a free update on June 9!

Year Three: The Story So Far


As Year Three rolls around, we want to explore the vast and rich history of Conqueror’s Blade, from the golden rivers of Longting to the desert barrens of the Borderlands. Inspiration was found in real-world history, from the Viking era to Ancient China, and beyond, with some artistic licence taken along the way. Booming Tech and MY.GAMES have crafted a unique, immersive world to battle in and explore.

Through four incredible seasons, we've seen huge changes to Conqueror's Blade, and our Community Team is no exception. Below are a few highlights from a fantastic year of streams hosted by our Community Managers.
 
[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

If you’re new to the game or just need a refresher, here’s a recap of the last eleven seasons of Conqueror’s Blade to celebrate Year Three and prepare you for future adventures!

[h2]Season I: Seize the Crown[/h2]
Kicking off proceedings with a chivalric theme, Season I invited players to forge their legend in a land where soldiers could rise from nothing to be crowned kings, only to lose everything in an instant to a new power. The symphony of war called out and invited new challengers to fight for control of this land and eternal glory, a simple premise that set the stage for a bright future.

[h2]Season II: Wrath of the Nomads[/h2]
Conquerors soon found themselves at odds with the Sons of the Steppes in Season II. Natives to this land who long endured in the face of insurmountable conditions, these warriors from the great rolling steppes of the north live off the land and keep to themselves. However, they have been known to lend their combat skills to allies, and in doing so, decided the fates of empires throughout their storied history. Players who withstood the wrath of the nomads could earn cosmetics based on their sacred wolves, and even recruit six Sons of the Steppes units to their campaign.

[h2]Season III: Soldiers of Fortune[/h2]
The rise of the nomads saw occupied lands reclaimed, ill-gotten treasures seized, and once-proud noblemen driven into exile. Escaping with what little gold they could carry, the disgraced lords travelled south to Sicania, where they recruited an infamous band of sellswords to exact revenge. With gold-lined pockets and notorious reputations preceding them, these soldiers of fortune wrought havoc with deadly crossbowmen, fearless swordsmen, cutting-edge artillery, and cavalry killers fighting in the name of a legendary mercenary. They even brought the Maul, a new Weapon Class whose hammer of reckoning fell upon the land as if it were an anvil.

[h2]Season IV: Blood of the Empire[/h2]
As noblemen, nomads and sellswords fought tooth and nail for dominion, a new shadow was cast. The ascendant Anadolou Empire (inspired by the mighty Ottoman Empire) marched north under the banner of Sultan Fatih Suleyman IV, a keen tactician who named himself heir to the Conqueror's City and all the lands surrounding it. The Anadolou Empire valued patience, discipline, and more strategic measures to attain victory. Four new units from the Turkey-inspired land of Anadolou joined the battle throughout this epic Seasonal Campaign.

[h2]Season V: Legacy of Fire[/h2]
Season V provided warlords with a link to the past, with the story starting over 100 years ago with a king’s reckless rise to power over the Kingdom of Empyros. The young king mustered an army of knights from across the land called the Symmachean Brotherhood, assembled the kingdom's greatest minds to create weapons of fire and destruction (wielded by two new seasonal units), and travelled to the Anadolou region in search of treasure. A power struggle between the knights reduced the once luscious land to ash, and a fire was stoked in the hearts of the citizens of Anadolou. This fateful attack would eventually lead to the Sultan’s successful conquest.

[h2]Season VI: Scourge of Winter[/h2]
Winter held the North in an icy grip, and a horde of villains known as the Desecrators conquered Ostaria. Acting on the orders of the Scourge of Winter, a mysterious and terrifying figure said to plague the land in legends of old, they sowed terror across the North, driving survivors of their brutal assault south to Ungverija. Here, thanes, freemen, knights and kings alike joined forces in a desperate alliance to deliver Ostaria from evil, defeat the Scourge of Winter, and drive back the Desecrators by winter's end. Season VI was notable for a mid-season boss battle, where players could lock blades with the Scourge of Winter and his dark lieutenants!

[h2]Season VII: Wolves of Ragnarok[/h2]
The war for the North was won and winter’s grip was beginning to thaw. However, amidst the din of blades in bloody battles, something sinister took residence in the forest east of Vajk’s Lake in Ungverija. Strange lights danced in the pines, lupine howls scarred the midnight air, and a rising tally of souls was lost to the shadows of the glade. It was here that the Sons of Fenrir, demented worshippers of an ancient wolf-god, were unleashed. They amassed an army and ravaged the land in the wake of the war against the Scourge of Winter, seeking to enthrone their leader as king by any means necessary. As fear began to take hold, a band of warrior Northmen arrived in Ungverija. Armed with axe, shield, and the thunderous fury of the Allfather, they set out to save the land from destruction…

[h2]Season VIII: Dynasty[/h2]
A new golden age was upon the people of Longting, and the Qian Empire brought prosperity and peace. Crucial moments paved the way for its rise, including the opening of the Golden Road, where anyone could discover this once-secretive region for themselves and share in its opportunities. Warlords sought out the peaceful yet highly-trained order of warrior monks, recruited a garrison of old soldiers who fought to defend Linwu Fortress from invaders for 40 years and met warriors wielding the great bladed 'modao', reputedly able to cut a cavalryman and his horse in two with a single strike.

[h2]Season IX: Tyranny[/h2]
In the shadows of victory… darkness festers. A powerful, terrible man was rumoured to be amassing power in the leaderless vacuum left by the war for the North. The Borderlands fell, and the populace was slaughtered, enslaved, or conscripted into this tyrant's dreadful regime. The monster would not stop until every village and even the legendary Conqueror's City was under his control. But sometimes, evil cannot be cut down by the sword and shield of a lone hero. The people of the Borderlands rallied under one banner and rebelled against tyranny!

[h2]Season X: Highlanders[/h2]
Aelba, a lush green country commonly known as the Highlands, had long been subjected to a brutal military occupation by its southern neighbour, the Kingdom of Loegria. Aelba's own clans had also been fighting a civil war. Their chieftains' endorsement of cattle raids, arson, and blood feuds had thwarted attempts to form a single, unified kingdom. However, as times grew more desperate and the days ever darker, the Highlanders realised that they must put aside their bitter rivalries and fight back against this injustice. The clans were united to push back against the Loegrian armies, and the fight for the freedom of the Highlands began!

[h2]Conqueror’s Blade: Paragons[/h2]
South of the Great Isles lay the kingdom of Pays-de-la-Gloire. This rich and fertile land was home to decadent mining, winemaking, tapestry-weaving, and shipbuilding industries. Fresh from a defeat at the hands of Aelba, however, a desperate Loegria had set its sights on this wealth… But this injustice would not stand. Brave knights and skilled healers rallied to a fearless warrior-seer, Gabrielle-Mäelys, who was determined to make her divine visions of victory a reality. These paragons of virtue stood before their enemy with banners firmly planted, hearts beating defiantly, and horses rared. Pays-de-la-Gloire would not fall.

Stay tuned to watch the world of Conqueror’s Blade evolve and grow, and thank you for three years!

Helheim: Quality of Life Changes


It's been three years since Conqueror's Blade launched, and together we have shared in many glorious victories and shed a few tears of defeat. We wish to further improve Conqueror's Blade, so before Helheim begins on June 9, we think now is the perfect time to contemplate the good and the bad. 
[h2]Battle Pass [/h2]
Each Season's Battle Pass is a cornerstone with which we convey the season's theme and the uniqueness of civilisations and other sources of inspiration. We want all of you to have lasting memories of Seasons, not only in the form of Units but also through themed Attires and Titles.

Having received plenty of feedback on the Battle Pass, we have considered its reward distribution and the design of weekly challenges. All in all, neither fully meets our expectations.

We believe there's no better time than now to rework and improve these. We want each Battle Pass to be a treasury of rewards rather than a burden to bear. We hope you look forward to climbing a refined Battle Pass on June 9!
[h2]Improved Ranked Battle Scoring System[/h2]
Ranked Battles are one of Conqueror's Blade's most unique game modes—a competitive platform with its own scoring system. It is the big stage where heroes must hone their skills to perfect and grow stronger if they wish to reign supreme.

However, as it stands now in Ranked Battles, unreasonable mechanics have led to high pressure, negatively affecting the experience.

To remedy this, we're introducing a new star-tier mechanic with the Helheim update. Hopefully, this will improve the situation and truly make Ranked Battle into the positive experience it should be.

Each tier has a specific number of battle stars required to rank up. Earn enough stars, and you will promote to the next rank. Stars are earned for winning ranked battles and are deducted, scaling with your ranked tier on a battle loss.

If you lose a battle with 0 stars for your current tier, you will not de-rank to the previous tier unless you are currently on the Imperial Hero or Grand Champion ranks. After achieving the rank of Grand Champion, you will start receiving Ranked Battle Score. Your rank is then based on your score.

For example, a player with the rank of New Blood, Rookie, or Contestant would need 2 Stars to be promoted, would receive 1 Star for a win, and no loss penalties or de-ranks.
[h2]Clearer Beginner Tutorial[/h2]
We want the Hero's Journey to serve as a guide for new players as they learn the ropes and a means with which to close the gap between them and veterans. It's an important system that enables players to quickly gain more freedom in the game. However, the current quest and reward design don't attain this effect. Instead, it makes it more difficult for newer players to learn the game and prevents them from gaining power as quickly as otherwise possible.

As such, we've reworked these to better suit our new players. These changes won't affect your current quest progress, but if you want to clear the quests available in Hero's Journey right now, we advise you do so before the Helheim update hits on June 9.
[h2]Norsemen on the Warpath[/h2]
Along with the new Units of Huskarls and Varangian Guards, other Norse units will awaken to join the fight, too: Sons of Fenrir, Berserkers, and Shieldmaidens! These three units will all receive balance changes.

All three units have deep Norse characteristics and bring their unique charm to Conqueror's Blade and its world. However, these characteristics make it difficult for them to perform well in the current meta.

We'll be focusing further on their unique features and combat styles. These once glorious Norse warriors return with pomp and flair one week after the release of Helheim, on June 16

We'll also continue to improve the other systems currently in the game and keep an eye on how weapons perform, such as the Nodachi, Pike, and Poleaxe. 

We must work together to make Conqueror's Blade even greater! Please continue to make your voice heard and share your feedback with us as we continue to flesh out the game, brick by brick. Check back soon for more information on all of these improvements.
