Card Design Conquest
Have you ever wanted to design a card in Conquest of Champions? Do you think that your card idea is awesome enough to be implemented into the game? Well here is your chance! We have given OhSnap the go-ahead to run the first ever community driven: Conquest of Champions Card Design Contest.
There are separate contests running for each faction. Details for each can be found in the links below:
We can't wait to see what you guys come up with! Thank you for helping shape the game with us!
Patch Notes (1.1.12)
Patch 1.1.12 7/30/2014
Today's patch is focused on tuning some balance issues that have came up since the last patch, as well as some other quality of life enhancements.
Improvements
EM Rankings will use the smallest ELO delta possible. If two players start with similar ELO’s but spread apart by the end of the match then it will use the start ELO delta. If two players start with a large ELO difference but end the match relatively close to each other then it will use the end match ELO delta. This change is in regards to concerns with potential ways to game the EM system.
New Card Art
Improved the general look of cards
Cards now display the range and cooldown to activated abilities on soldiers
AI is now smarter! We educated the AI a bit on spell usage and they should no longer do things such as hammer smash their own units. More lessons to come.

Patch 1.1.11 7/24/2014
Today's patch is a large one, encompassing a lot of balance changes, improvements to how we load data, and lots of fixes. As always, please let us know if you run into any issues.
Rank Reset
With today's patch, we have reset the rankings and started a new tournament season. Details on the tournament can be found at http://forums.conquestofchampions.com/index.php?threads/call-to-arms-tournament.1870/
As part of today's patch with the rank reset and the numerous balance changes, we have removed all in progress games.
Improvements
Current abilities now disable mouse interactions until the ability is complete. This is largely due to issues that occur if you take another action before the ability is done such as moving onto Foolish Grommit’s corpse before he raises into SoulSpark. It also fixes many playback issues that caused units to appear on top of each other (they were a result of actions occurring too quickly and playback getting actions out of order). Some examples include: SoulSpark, Construct Ritual, Transform, Counter, Double Attack, Manipulate, and Skull Head Staff.
Soldier Cost overhaul
- Implemented a new base cost formula for balance. ALL soldiers cost have changed. All other cards cost have increased.
- Players now start with 6 completed mines
- Shrines now have a passive MINE ability and generate 2 minerals of your Heroes faction every turn
- Player 2 Gets 1 Additional (off-color) Resource to start the match
- All maps have 2 shrines and 8 neutral mines in addition to the 12 completed mines.
- Leveled soldiers now increase in cost at levels 3/6/9 (1 gem increase each milestone)
Shrines have a new ability called Hero Bound: “When this shrine is destroyed, friendly Hero loses 10 DEF, opponent Hero gains 10 DAM.”
Data is now locally cached on your client. This should speed up loading of various pages and loading of the game as this data will not need to be retrieved from the server.
MatchMaker now matches off of Rank as well as ELO. This is to help address the matching woes we had for top players who had large ELO gaps.
Additional constraints added to MatchMaker to prevent being matched with the same player in sequential matches. This mainly affects EMs when both players were queued multiple times and were matched across all of them instantaneously.
Balance
Mua Tidewalker - Damage reduced slightly, DEF increased slightly
Fixed Mua’s description to state it will only trigger on attack rather than damage.
Blood Witch - Blood Scry ability was removed (was overkill with Overflow)
FEED ability now properly costs 1 AP
Fixed Essence Drain’s description to say it will target the unit that is most hurt, rather than closest.
Mind Control expires once the casters turn is over
Banish now is an activated ability with a range of 3 (so it can be countered).
Fracture now is an activated ability with a range of 5 (so it can be countered).

Mine Thief is an activated ability with a range of 5 (so it can be countered).

Cull the Herd now only heals the Hero 50 Hp’s (down from 100)
Bolster now only heals the Hero 10 HP’s per soldier in play (down from 20)
Cleanse can no longer target Heroes (as intended)
Mend Stone and Mend Treefolk now have a 2 turn cooldown with a range of 6 (up from 5)
Chain Healing: Heroes receive 50% of healing
Heroes have had their HP’s increased by 150. They also gain an additional 100 HP’s in Epic form.
If Healing fountain targets your Hero, it only heals for 50% the amount (25)
Escalate bug no longer triggers on damage, just base attacks (as intended)
Gold received in turn rewards has been boosted by 25-50% (Double gold reward quest will be added in NEXT push)
Starter Deck / Heroes prices have been reduced to 10 crystal or 1000 gold. In a future build all starter decks will be earnable through campaign quests.
Last Stand now adds +50 DAM (down from double) - cost reduced to 2
Bug Fixes
Fixed an issue causing the battle log to have an increasing amount of whitespace at the end of it
Fixed an issue preventing the battle log from being able to be scrolled by clicking and dragging on it
Fixed Discard
Fixed visual effect on Grave Revenge
Fixed issue that could cause units to fail to load for opponent when summoned from a spell (Propagate).

Fixed playback of Siphon
Fixed Pyrrhic to work when opponents forfeit.
