Game Migrated to Another Steam Page News

This time of year is always a celebration of colour, so as part of the Winter Light Festival that’s getting underway in-game, we are giving you the opportunity to acquire new editions of our most recent hero attires. You will need to have the originals in order to be able to access the updated hue - which requires a Season II Battle Pass - but you don’t need to have reached a high Nobility Tier to start your progress towards unlocking them - only to complete the challenges to receive them!

NOTE: You may safely ignore a tooltip display error that says you cannot progress past tier 200. This will be corrected in a subsequent update.

  

Ortoq's Red Hero Attire (pictured above) is your reward for completing the necessary challenge after you have unlocked the Tier-1 Battle Pass Reward Ortoq Guard's Attire.



The Tier-50 Battle Pass Reward Noyan's Battle Attire is paired with Noyan’s Bearskin Attire (above) - should you be able to finish the challenge that’s set.



Reach Tier 100 and as well as Shaman's Ceremonial Attire, by finishing the required challenge you will also receive, as above, the Winter’s Prophet Attire.

You will be issued other challenges, for which you will receive steppe-style banners to equip your units with. Then, once you have completed all the Winter Light Festival attire challenges, you will be able to display a unique title: Winter’s Fury.

Note that the attire challenges will remain open beyond the duration of the Winter Light Festival - for at least as long as all Season II challenges are active. 

Good luck!

Once every year, warlords from across the land unite to celebrate the Winter Light Festival, a joyous occasion where new beginnings are welcomed with fireworks, festive costumes, and… war! Starting today, enjoy a plethora of fun festivities in Conqueror’s Blade including decorated, snow-covered capital cities and open world areas, daily rewards, festive attire, and a new PvE campaign!

DAILY LOGIN EVENT: JANUARY 23 – FEBRUARY 11

Play Conqueror’s Blade throughout the Winter Light Festival to receive up to 20 daily rewards, including a festive Helm, Winter Light Lucky Bags and Envelopes filled with loot, and fireworks! Don’t worry if you miss any days, just log in during the event to catch up with any gifts you’ve missed.

You’ll also receive three Festival Tokens every day you log in. These special tokens are said to bring luck and prosperity for the coming year, and you can spend them on lots of items, including a Red Lion Helm for your warlord (available for 7 days once equipped)!



NEW PvE CAMPAIGN: STORMING THE GREAT WALL

The Great Wall is a wondrous structure which, together with the seemingly endless mountain range it’s entrenched in, forms a barrier to repel invasions from the north. Its mighty fortifications may be difficult to crack, and the army that defends it may be legion, but your triumph is vital if you want to advance on the Conqueror’s City!

The Storming the Great Wall campaign will be available until February 11. You can earn Festival Tokens from your first three battles on the Great Wall every day, though rewards will be slightly reduced in subsequent battles.

NEW PvP MAP: WUQING PLAINS

Vanquish your foes on a frosty new battlefield during the Winter Light Festival! Many critical battles have been fought on the Wuqing Plains across the centuries — who knows what tales of brazen heroics and valiant deaths the ancient ruins conceal?



FREE BATTLE PvP MAPS: FESTIVE DECORATIONS AND SNOWY HAZARDS

A cold front has swept across Free Battle maps, bringing frigid snow and treacherous conditions to a new selection of battlefields during the Winter Light Festival (replacing Ghost Town, Augolia, and Grassland Assault). Make fights fizzle by finding and destroying festival decorations to set off fireworks, and fire artillery weapons to behold a spectacular display of colour and light!

Your warlord and units may find it harder to move in the cold and snow when they become ‘Freezing’. Find a brazier to thaw the chill and make your heroes and units ‘Warm’, a status which grants cold resistance and a jaunty boost to movement and attack speeds!

The Free Battle schedule during the Winter Light Festival is as follows during the event, with Winter Light Festival variants of the following PvP maps available on the following days (for server times and availability, please check the Event Schedule):

• Wednesday:White Elk Fort (Siege)
• Friday:Sun City (Siege)
• Sunday:Dasuo Fort (Siege) and Wuqing Plains (Siege)

NEW FESTIVAL ATTIRE AND FIREWORKS

Head to the in-game Store to purchase new festive attire and a marvelous range of Winter Light Festival fireworks!

• Warrior Mouse Hero Attire:Sometimes the smallest creatures are capable of the bravest acts. Stand proud, and remember that size doesn’t matter!
• Lion Warrior Unit and Horse Attire:Imbue your units and their mounts with the raw power and pride of the king of the jungle.
• Lucky Mouse Horse Attire: May your mount’s luck on the battlefield never run out.
• Winter Light Festival Fireworks:Get some Winter Light Fireworks, including the Thunderstar cannon and Dancing Dragon launcher, to bring some toasty warmth and brilliant light to battle proceedings!

IMPORTANT: Attire for Heroes, Horses, Units, banners and weapons in Conqueror’s Blade is purely cosmetic, and does not grant additional bonuses or advantages during gameplay. It just looks really, really cool.

Celebrate the Winter Light Festival in Conqueror’s Blade from now until February 11!

Please be aware that from 7:00 CET on Thursday 23 January (10pm PDT, 1/22), the Conqueror’s Blade servers will be inaccessible. The downtime is expected to last for 5 hours. 

• Winter Light Festival begins - please see patch notes.
  

Please stay tuned to our Discord channel in case of any immediate server updates.

Until now, if you’ve been unable to fully commit yourself to the demands of being in a house or alliance, or just prefer to play Conqueror's Blade at your own pace and in your own time, you may have felt disadvantaged at not being able to fully take part in Territory Wars. With the imminent introduction of NPC-controlled houses and alliances - part of the new Imperial Restorationist system - we’re hoping to get as many players as possible enjoying the cut and thrust of the game’s sovereignty battles.

As with player groups (player houses will henceforth be known as Free Houses), there are NPC-controlled houses - known as Cohorts, and NPC-controlled Alliances - known as Legions. It’s useful to think of the latter as a form of militia, in that they call on all unaligned players to defend the region’s territory in the event of an attack from within. Here’s what you need to know:



There are four Imperial Restorationist Legions, one for each region (Ostarian Legion, Ungverijan Legion, Maoyang Legion and Liangyun Legion), which you can join by pressing N and selecting the Legion tab. Note: If you wish to join a Legion, you cannot be already a member of a house or alliance.



Each Legion contains 6 Cohorts (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc). As a new recruit, you will be placed in one of the Cohorts. You can transfer to another Cohort for a fee of 300 Sovereigns. Also, once joined, you cannot leave a Legion until you have been a member for 7 days - CHOOSE WISELY!



Via the My Cohort tab you can view all the other warlords in your Cohort and how much Acclaim they have earnt from Territory Wars. If you click the right-hand icon you can see all battles the Legion is planning for.

The Diplomacy tab allows you to search for any NPC or player-controlled group by name and check its info. If a House or Alliance holds territory that your Legion is sworn to unite, you can select it as a potential target.



Legions are fully devoted to uniting their region rather than conquering others, which means Legions are forever neutral to one another, while hostile to all player-created houses seeking or holding fiefs in the region. However, as hostile as they are to territory-holding houses, all territories held by Legions are kept neutral, meaning that travel and resources (and open-world combat engagements) are open to all players operating in the vicinity.

The above images are taken from a pre-release version of the update and cannot be considered final.

One of the keystone features of Conqueror’s Blade is Territory Wars; the ability to capture land and benefit from its ownership - at least until someone else takes it back. With the introduction of Season II and Campaigns, our plan is to take Territory Wars to the next level - to have houses and alliances not just bickering over their borders, but to try to build a legacy - to march into the most hostile lands in the game and claim the ultimate prize!

Accessed from the Seasonal panel (F5), Campaigns are simply a series of stages that houses and alliances can work through to earn rewards. To complete stage one, “The Baron’s War”, you and your associates simply have to take a village, a town and a fort, for which you’ll each receive Bronze, Artillery Chests and Treatises. The next stage of the campaign requires you to take part in and win cross-region PvE battles, while in Stage 3, you must push into the Borderlands, seizing various objectives. To complete the final stages of the campaign, you and your allies will have to march on and eventually secure the once-mythical Conqueror’s City, a prize that many others will be chasing and that the Borderlands will not give up easily!

With Campaigns offering new avenues for conquest that combine Seasonal progression and Territory Wars, now’s a great time to join a house or alliance if you’d not already considered it doing so. You can defend your homeland later - the Borderlands needs warlords now!
