As Conqueror’s Blade enters its eleventh season, Paragons, a series of quality of life optimisations will be rolled out to optimise battles for a more comfortable experience.
The first of these changes is to unit colours, which we’re updating to make it easier to distinguish between friend and foe. In areas with poor lighting, we know some players have found it difficult to discern which units are friendlies and which are enemies, and all in all, each side's markers haven't been clear enough, making it difficult for players to confidently enact their strategies on the battlefield.
When the Custom Unit Colours change comes into effect, you will be able to customise the colours of the various factions' units to more easily differentiate between allies and foes. We’ve opted to keep the colours as close as possible to the original for the default selection but made them brighter and more easily discernable by adjusting the overlay shades.
We have also made a series of colour combinations available that you can select to apply to different factions.
While designing custom unit colours, we became more aware of a very important issue that we've previously neglected—accessibility. We have therefore added colours for players with colour vision deficiencies as our first step to improving their game experience.
Please be aware that from 5:00 CET on March 17 (21:00 PDT 3/16), the Conqueror’s Blade servers will be inaccessible. The downtime is expected to last for 9 hours.
Please refer to the Patch Notes for documented changes. Meanwhile, stay tuned to our Discord channel in case of any immediate server updates.
Paragons: Campaign Dates
Recruit soldiers, forge alliances, and seek victory as you undertake a new Seasonal Campaign in Conqueror’s Blade: Paragons!
To participate in the Campaign, you must belong to an NPC or player-controlled House/Cohort or Alliance and fight alongside your fellow warlords via the ‘Battle’ interface or in the open world to gain control of settlements. Territory Wars begin on March 19, with the first being a Drill War and will occur every Tuesday and Saturday throughout the season. For more information about Territory Wars, check out our top tips here.
The Paragons Campaign is divided into five stages. The Borderlands is the core region, with the main objective being Augolia (Capital of Ostaria) in Stage 5. As stages progress, access is granted to neighbouring regions, which then become conquerable. Fiefs will grant Influence to their captors’ Alliance, and whoever controls Augolia will be the champion. The winning House’s liege will receive the Hegemon title, and all members will receive additional rewards.
[/td][/tr][/table] Rewards from taking part in Territory Wars and completing campaign quests include Chests of Bronze and Treatise in various quantities (check in-game for more details).
The final Territory War will take place on May 28. The Paragons Campaign ends May 29, when the Alliance with ownership of Augolia will be crowned the victors. Good luck, warlords!
Paragons Map Spotlight: La Grande Gloire (Siege)
As Loegria approaches the city of Aurelian, the people of Pays-de-la-Gloire must stand firm on the fronts of La Grande Gloire, or risk a terrible defeat.
Inspired by the Siege of Orléans (October 12, 1428 – May 8, 1429), where heroine Joan of Arc led the French army to victory, this new map challenges players on each side to use architecture to their advantage. When the English were at their strongest, Orléans was the key city that held symbolic significance of the power struggle between the two nations. Bridges were destroyed in order to reach the occupied city, and before fixes could be deployed, extra French troops arrived to storm into battle.
This new 15v15 Siege Map for Conqueror’s Blade: Paragons invites Warlords to defend or attack the city, where rebuilding or destroying bridges is critical to success for either side. These quick fixes also apply to artillery, which can be regenerated to destroy targets whether attacking or defending.
Check back soon for more information and a complete guide on how to defend and strike La Grande Gloire after Conqueror’s Blade: Paragons launches on March 17.
Server Transfer Applications Open on March 10!
Looking for a change of pace, or want to meet up with your friends on a different server? Server transfer applications will open on March 10!
You need to apply in-game before the Server Transfer takes place on March 17 to be eligible for a transfer. Each transfer costs 1,000 Sovereigns, and your character must have left their House or Cohort for the application to proceed. You cannot rejoin Houses or Cohorts or join new ones until the transfer is complete.
You should complete all transactions on the Resource Market, collect items from resource piles, and delist any items from the Market before the server transfer takes place. Listings, items, and resource piles will not be migrated to the new servers and will be lost if action is not taken.
On March 10 we will also be implementing a server migration. Anliang (EU6) will be merged into Crystal Sea (EU1).
For a full timetable and any answers to your questions, check out the server transfer FAQ. Please also join us in the Conqueror’s Blade Discord channel for any changes that may occur.
Breaking the Lore: Paragons
North of the Great Isles of Loegria and Aelba lies the glorious kingdom of Pays-de-la-Gloire. Created from the ruins of the old Empire, this rich and fertile land is broken up by numerous rivers and mountain ranges, and shares borders with many lands.
Pays-de-la-Gloire is also home to decadent industry; from mining to winemaking, tapestry-weaving to shipbuilding. It is this affluence that causes its neighbours to look on with jealousy, and where trouble begins to brew.
While the Highlanders of Aelba stand strong on the shoulders of their defeat of Loegria, the vanquished ruler, King Edmund, is planning a way to heal his fresh wounds, and has set his sights on the magnificent Pays-de-la-Gloire, and its leader Robert IV…
But against this injustice, paragons of virtue stand with banners firmly planted, stout hearts beating defiantly, and horses rared. Knights and healers alike are ready to face any threat, spurred on by a fearless warrior-seer, Gabrielle-Mäelys, who is determined to make her vision of victory a reality.
Conqueror’s Blade: Paragons is a new Season launching as a free update on March 17, with the new Battle Pass available to preorder today alongside instant bonus items!
