Game Migrated to Another Steam Page News

Starting out in any MMO can feel a little daunting, especially when the player base ranges from novices to day-one veterans. If you’re confused about where to start in your journey for glory, look no further than our new player’s guide to Conqueror’s Blade!

You can also catch up on the essentials with our beginner’s guide.
[h2]Choosing your weapon in Conqueror’s Blade[/h2]
The perfect weapon is key to any Warlord’s victory in Conqueror’s Blade, and with twelve to choose from, you can try out all the options until you find a weapon that suits your playstyle.
[h2]How to use the Unit Tree in Conqueror’s Blade[/h2]
During your battles, you will gather Honour, and this can be used to progress in the Unit Tree by unlocking new units and making them stronger. As you progress through different eras, units will become more powerful. Make sure to use Doctrines to add special effects and buffs to your soldiers!


[h2]In-game currency in Conqueror’s Blade (and how to use it)[/h2]
There are seven types of in-game currency in Conqueror’s Blade, and knowing how to earn and use each is invaluable to your experience.

• Fame: Fame is a seasonal currency that is rewarded for participating in Bandit Raids and donating to your Quartermaster. The Fame Store allows you to purchase exclusive items!
• Honour: Honour is a crucial currency for expanding your Unit Tree to unlock and enhance your units. Unlocking eras will grant you access to more powerful units.
• Sovereigns: Sovereigns are your premium currency! These can be used to purchase cosmetic items and consumables, customise your hero, change up your unit's wardrobe and pick up the season Battle Pass. You can also spend Sovereigns to pay off challenges that are proving troublesome.
• Silver: Earn Silver by completing quests, and use it to buy and sell goods at the in-game market, buy artillery from the merchants, or upgrade equipment for your troops.
• Blades: Blades are a seasonal currency that you can spend in the Seasonal Store and can be earned by levelling up your Battle Pass. Pick up antique and rare variants of attires for your hero, unit and weapon, and more.
• Bronze: Bronze is the main currency in Conqueror’s Blade, and can be earned by completing quests, participating in battles, and selling items. It can be used to purchase items and heal your wounded Units.
• Leadership: Leadership is your Hero's capacity to command units. Each unit costs a fixed amount of Leadership to command, and the higher their power, the higher the cost. Players can craft armour that grants bonus leadership while equipped to allow more powerful units to join your Warband.

[h2]How the Open World works in Conqueror’s Blade[/h2]
While you’ll spend most of your time in the cities (or in battles!) you can always take a trip to the Open World to gather valuable resources and find treasures, but also encounter bandits and other players to combat, giving you much-needed experience.


[h2]How to play solo in Conqueror’s Blade[/h2]
While many players join a House (a guild in Conqueror’s Blade) or play in a group, for those wishing to go down the solo route, all is not lost. You can still become a fearsome Warlord all on your own with these tips.

• Train: Training modes help to familiarise you with the core gameplay mechanics of Conqueror’s Blade.
• Bandit Raids: Take on Bandit Raids to gain Fame, level up Units, and practice with your chosen weapon.
• Expeditions: Expeditions offer challenging scenarios where you can join your allies in PvE combat.

In medieval England, two families fought for the crown: the Tudors and the Stewarts (also spelt Steuart or Stuart) were related by blood, but their struggle came to a head with Mary Queen of Scots and her cousin Elizabeth I both staked a claim for the English throne. This great rivalry between the daughters of Henry VIII and James V has painted Mary as feisty, impulsive, and “a bad woman” in the history books—but what was she really like?

Scots at the time (due to their somewhat chaotic recent history) may have been thought of as brash and hostile, but Mary was quite the opposite. She was demure, elegantly tall, and well-educated, primarily thanks to her French upbringing from age five, where she was exposed to all the finery and dignity of the French court.

Ascending to the throne over 200 years after it was reclaimed by the Scots by her very own ancestor King Robert the Bruce, the far-from-brutish Mary had a lot of heroism to live up to.



Mary set the trend of wearing white for weddings when it was traditionally a colour of mourning.

We’re here to set the record straight on some of Mary’s finer points (as well as her flaws) and explore how Mary Queen of Scots may spend her days—and how the clans would receive her—if she ruled over the Highlands in Conquerors Blade...
[h2]How Do You Solve a Problem Like Mary?[/h2]
While Mary was said to be a “strong leader”, her obsession with gaining the English throne and willingness to accept her advisors’ guidance as gospel led her subjects to dislike her. Historian Dr Wormald revealed that Mary was unsuitable for her position and simply unwilling to try to govern, mostly because of her wanting for the English crown. This possible distaste for her own country lead to this complaint from Mary herself:


“My subjects in Scotland do their duty in nothing, nor have they performed their part in one thing that belongeth to them. I am their queen, and so they call me, but they do not use me so…They must be taught to know their duties.”

As the Highlanders fight for their freedom from encroaching Loegrian forces, they may also detest a monarch seeking to rule elsewhere and couldn’t make her own decisions.
[h2]There’s Something About Mary[/h2]
Astrologists will be intrigued to discover that Mary Queen of Scots was a true Sagittarius—defined by her fun-loving and social personality. Mary cast aside the tradition of the shy retiring female monarch and became the first woman to play golf in Scotland when she teed off at St. Andrews, the oldest golf course in the world. Rumours suggest that she coined the term “caddie” when using military cadets to carry her clubs.

Mary also engaged in other unsightly hobbies such as disguising herself as a stable boy and exploring the streets of Edinburgh at night (Princess Jasmine, is that you?).

Yes, Mary’s free-spirited personality may have been seen as a hindrance by some, but we think the Highland clans would relish a queen who indulged in a bit of fun every now and then. Perhaps she would even join the Houndsmen on their hunting expeditions or dance along to the Bagpipers tunes.

While Mary may not have ruled with an iron fist like her cousin Elizabeth, and her upbringing delightfully posh, we think the clan chieftains would accept Mary with open arms, and perhaps even support her conquest for the English throne.

While hunting may be a peacetime pursuit in the Highlands, the Houndsmen must prepare to battle on behalf of their clans in Season X: Highlanders. Along with their faithful canines, they possess archery prowess, and there is no battle they won’t dive headfirst into with man’s best friend at their side.

[h2]Exclusive Houndsmen Attire[/h2]
To commemorate the Houndsmen’s release, you can pick up the Roving Huntsmen Unit Attire until January 24 (23:59 server time/23:59 CET) in-game or via MY.GAMES Market. It’s exclusive, so it will help your Houndsmen to really stand out in the crowd!

Suitable for the harsh climate of the Highlands, Houndsmen don this apparel to survive the bad weather of their hunting trips. With determination and a bit of luck, the hunters and their hounds will return to the clans with a kill fit for their laird's table.


[h2]Unlocking[/h2]
The Houndsmen can be unlocked by completing Seasonal Unit Challenges. They also enjoy a Seasonal Bonus in the form of Leadership requirements decreased by 10 points for the duration of Season X.
[h2]Gameplay[/h2]
The Houndsmen are keen archers and use their dogs to help in their hunting expeditions. Their arrows can slow enemies or inflict heavy bleeding, and their hounds are there to ensure those injuries become fatal. The hounds are loyal to the end and will continue to clash with foes after their master has perished.


[h2]Just the facts: Houndsmen (5-Star)[/h2]
Formations

• Dispersed: A loose formation that reduces unit vulnerability to ranged weapons.
• Stand Ground: The unit spread out slightly with their hounds to the front. Suitable for ranged attacks.

Unit Traits

• Trained Hunters: Enemies hit with arrows from the hunters will suffer bleeding for two seconds.
• Loyal Hound: Hounds will attack any foe that attacks this unit, reducing enemy attacks and movement speed.
• Man’s Best Friend: Hounds have 4,800 Health, a sprint speed of 9,300, and 300 for all defence attributes. A hound and its master have a deep affinity for one another. When a hound attacks an enemy that a Houndsmen skill has already hit, the effect is strengthened. When all the Houndsmen are killed, the hounds will continue to surround and attack enemies for 5 seconds before dying.
• Highlanders: For the duration of Season X, this unit’s Leadership cost is reduced by 10 points.

Unit Orders

• Hunting Stance: For their next attack, the hunters will fire three arrows at the enemy in rapid succession, which can be used to trigger Trained Hunters. If hounds attack a bleeding enemy, the effect will be increased.
• Hobbling Shots: The unit fires arrows that inflict a Slow effect in the designated area. If hounds attack a slowed enemy, the Slow effect will be increased.
• Get ‘em!: Hounds charge in the designated direction and gnash enemies along the way. After using this, you can use the ‘Heel!’ skill to return them to their unit.

Houndsmen are now available to unlock via Unit Challenges.
