Conqueror's Blade: Prepare for a New Era of Territory War12/06/2024
Greetings, Warlords!
Territory War has always been the heart of Conqueror's Blade, a crucible where generals forge their legends and empires rise and fall. It's more than just a battle; it's a war for dominance, a struggle for every inch of land.
Over countless seasons, we've closely monitored the ever-shifting landscape of Territory War across all servers, constantly refining the rules of the open world. In the upcoming season, we're introducing a series of changes designed to revolutionize your Territory War experience.
This week, we serve up the first course: a significant overhaul of NPC garrison behavior. Currently, small-scale raids can easily capture undefended cities. A coordinated team can scale walls, disable supply points, and capture the final flag in a matter of minutes. The existing NPC garrisons often stand idly by, offering little resistance. They’re more spectators than defenders.
This changes on Thursday. Prepare for a dramatic improvement in NPC garrison effectiveness. These troops will now operate with near-human intelligence, prioritizing the defense of key supply points around the main flag. If the main flag falls, they will regroup and defend their base, rather than mindlessly charging into the enemy. Wall-scaling and supply point rushes will face unprecedented resistance. Expect to encounter a fully manned unit of infantry waiting for you when you breach the walls. Five-man speedruns will become a thing of the past.
Our goal is to encourage greater participation in open-world warfare. Stronger NPC garrisons will provide a crucial defensive layer, buying valuable time for reinforcements to arrive. This doesn't mean the end of strategic raiding; unguarded cities will still be vulnerable. The key, as always, is finding the weak points.
These changes may even empower smaller Houses to hold their ground against larger forces, creating more dynamic and unpredictable conflicts. This is just the first step in a larger plan to reshape the open world in the new season. Prepare for a new era of Territory War!
