Introducing the MMORPG Conqueror’s Blade

Conqueror's Blade is a real-time tactical MMORPG and free-to-play.
It allows you to embody a warlord accompanied by their battalion.
Conqueror's Blade is mainly a PvP game, often featuring 30 warlords in 15v15 siege-style epic battles.


Let's get more specific about the available weapons.
At the time of writing this article, Conqueror's Blade has 12 playable classes (10 available from the start and 2 unlockable).


We'll go through them quickly:







In addition to your weapon, Conqueror's Blade allows you to customize your character using various mechanisms.
As in many MMORPGs, attributes allow your hero to specialize, for example in damage reduction, piercing damage, blunt damage, or health. You choose the optimal distribution.




*Rixmome* Heyyyy, are you trying to fool me?! Your game looks just like all the others; I see no difference!

I'm getting there! Conqueror's Blade stands out not because of its hero system but because of its unit system. Your hero is accompanied by multiple battalions deployed according to the situation.
Let's quickly introduce the unit types:
- Cavalry, which can charge destructively from the flanks or rear for light cavalry, or head-on for heavy cavalry.
- Pikemen, primarily to stop cavalry.
- Archers or arquebusiers, dealing ranged damage or providing cover to melee units.
- Shock units, meant to impact enemy blocks or reach distant units.
- Shields, providing cover to allies.
- Hero killers, like javelins or assassin units.
- Support units (healers or pipers), granting benefits to surrounding units.
- Exotic units, falling into various categories, crucial for defeating enemies. Examples include flamethrowers against blocks or falconets with cannons for long-range damage.

Interestingly, all units can evolve. They have mechanics allowing specialization. Let's review these mechanics briefly.

A unit gains levels; with each level, it gains stats and can specialize via veteran status, potentially boosting stats or adding effects to skills.

Doctrines further specialize units by increasing certain stats.


Like heroes, units can wear skins, making them look more impressive or visually docile.


*rixmome* Okayyy, seems like some unique stuff. But will you tell us about the activities someday?

You're right! I haven’t talked about activities yet. Let's take a quick look.

As mentioned, sieges are 15v15 battles plus units, totaling roughly 1000 vs 1000.
Players are split into attackers and defenders. Attackers capture map points, defenders defend them.

In open terrain, no attacker/defender. Capture points or kill enemies to reduce their score.
The first to zero or with the least points when the timer ends loses.

Here there are no units, only two teams of warlords. The team that kills enough enemies first wins.

Free battles are either skirmishes or sieges, with larger troops and no unit maintenance cost.

Like free battles, ranked can be siege or skirmish, with different artillery rules and seasonal rankings for rewards.


In the open world, you can intercept other players with their units for fun or to steal resources.

*Rixmome* Wait, there’s an open world and you didn’t mention it?! Do you think I have all day?!
Exactly! I wanted to save the best for last. We’ll discuss this with the 5th PvP activity: GvG or territory wars.


GvG occurs Tuesdays and Saturdays from 8:00 to 9:30 PM. Guilds (or houses) aim to conquer territories, alone or in alliance, and defend them.
Epic battles, betrayal, and coalitions are part of this highly strategic activity.
The format is mainly 15v15 sieges. When a player dies, they leave the battle and are replaced by another guild or alliance member, allowing over 100 players in the same battle.

If GvG isn’t enough, tournaments offer different rules to face top Conqueror's Blade players.

Examples:
- CBR, a player-created league similar to a football league with different teams and divisions. Matches are on Sundays with Twitch commentary in English and French.
- CBL, the official Conqueror's Blade tournament, a classic knockout format broadcast on the official Twitch channel.
- Cortournament, organized by players in double-elimination format with the 8 best CBR teams, also streamed on Twitch in French and English.

Back to PvE activities.
Conqueror's Blade is mainly PvP, but some PvE activities exist. Let's review them quickly.

Team up with other players to attack a village or fort defended by AI. Your goal is to defeat the AI in a set time. Not very difficult but gives unit XP.

Three difficulty levels. Similar to bandit raids, but you face waves of enemies or capture points.

Found on the world map, capture points against AI. Three difficulty levels: easy, medium, hard. Rewards include items for fief quests.

For new players to fight AI and learn the game.

In the open world, bandits can intercept you. Battle resembles a skirmish against AI.
Last mode: events, either PvP or PvE.
Each season introduces new activities and maps with gameplay changes.
For example, at the time of writing, we are in the Coliseum season with a new coliseum map and new mechanics.

Every 2-4 months, a new update brings new units, modes, maps, possibly classes, mechanics, skins, and GvG map resets. The game stays very active.

Conqueror's Blade is free-to-play without limitations.
There is an in-game shop for visuals for your hero, horse, and units. Good news: the game is not pay-to-win. Premium accounts just allow slightly faster progression.
Conqueror's Blade is innovative, especially with its battalion system accompanying the hero. Territory wars add strategic and political depth. A great game to play with friends for many hours.
