A Letter to All Players from the Development Team of Conqueror's Blade02/17/2025
Greetings Warlords,
As the start of the new year, we, the entire development team of Conqueror’s Blade, would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to every player who has fought alongside us over the past five years. As we step into 2025, we will continue to forge ahead with clearer strategic direction and bolder content innovations to build a truly 'war world across time and space' with all of you.
New Journey in 2025: Expanding the Boundless Possibilities of the War World Together
I. Upholding the “Multi-Civilization, Cross-Era” Strategy
1. Space Dimension: The Clashing of Civilizations is the Soul of the War World
The heart of Conqueror’s Blade lies in the chaos of Chinese cavalry clashing with Viking berserkers, samurai dueling Roman legions beneath crumbling walls. It’s the convergence of different civilizations, their troops, tactics, and cultural symbols that infuse every battle with an unpredictable "chemical reaction." And it is the players from all corners of the globe that truly bring this battlefield to life (yes—we see you, there are players who stay up until 3 AM in their time zone to fight in a capital city battle across the ocean).
2. Time Dimension: Breaking the Boundaries of Time to Explore the Possibilities of War
Last year, we bridged millennia: Alexander the Great’s phalanxes marched alongside Gustavus Adolphus’ artillery lines. The cross-time portrayal not only enriched battlefield strategy but revealed countless surprises in the tactical interplay between cold and hot weapons eras.
In 2025, we’re pushing further: Warring States chariot hordes? Renaissance city-state cannons? Every ripple in history’s tide could become your next battlefield in Conqueror’s Blade.
II. Core Directions for 2025
Direction 1: Multi-Civilization Warfare – Deeper, Richer, Bolder
-
Eastern Civilizations: There will be at least two seasons focused on Eastern civilizations in 2025, which will definitely include Chinese-themed seasons, while the other will explore underrepresented Asian battlefield cultures like Silla, Southeast Asia’s Siam, or Central Asia.
-
Western Civilizations: There will also be more seasons focused on Western civilizations in 2025. These are more likely to appear in the second half of the year.
-
Cross-Civilization Interactions: In the future, we may introduce “Multi-Civilization Cooperative Seasons” (for example, Tang Dynasty armies and Silla troops fighting together), exploring interesting combinations of civilizations throughout history.
Direction 2: Evolving Gameplay Systems – No More "One-off Updates"
-
Territory War Innovation: We will update the rules with each season, continuing to expand the current City Garrison system. Mechanisms like “Warrior King” and “Warrior Showdown” will remain in future seasons. With each new season, we will keep adding more strategic decision-making elements.
-
Permanent Fun Modes: Our Spring Festival Onslaught mode (Season 2) sets the tone. Past popular modes will be continually optimized, generating new variations to ensure players can regularly engage with these fun elements.
-
Less Grind, More Strategic: Simplified progression lets veterans experiment freely and newcomers charge into battle faster. Meanwhile,we will deepen the strategic limits of core gameplay - Siege Battle, ensuring that the essence of Conqueror’s Blade becomes a timeless classic.
Direction 3: Combat Revolution – Embrace the Variables
-
Seasonal Validation: Starting mid-year, we will focus on optimizing the core combat experience. We’re listening—your feedback will pinpoint areas in need of improvement and help shape new mechanics like unique skill systems or mysterious item effects, keeping the game fresh and challenging.
-
System Optimization: Once these new mechanisms are validated, they will become part of the enduring content in the game, allowing the Combat Strategy to continuously evolve. Adjustments will be made based on player feedback to fine-tune the parameters and balance of these new mechanisms.
III. Our Original Intention and Commitment to You
Some players have asked, "Aren’t you afraid the content might feel too scattered with so many civilizations and eras?" Our answer remains: Conqueror’s Blade isn’t a history simulator—it’s a war fantasy sandbox. Whether it’s the armor details that history enthusiasts love, the tactical maneuvering that strategy fans crave, or the playful debates like “What BGM should we use when Polish Winged Hussars charges?”—it’s these things you love that define the soul of Conqueror’s Blade.
We fully understand that the development of Conqueror’s Blade would not be possible without the support and passion of our players. We pledge to keep you at the heart of every update. With the continued effort of both you and us, Conqueror’s Blade will become the definitive global war game legend.
Epilogue: The Ever Burning Fire in Our Heart
Over the past five years, we’ve seen players write in-depth articles about seasons, perform stunning cavalry flanking maneuvers, and witnessed countless moments where players fought against all odds and thought, “We can still turn this around!” It’s these moments that make us truly believe: Conqueror’s Blade will, in time, become a second home for all war game enthusiasts.
2025 awaits. Let’s carve this saga belonging to global warlords into history—with blades as our quills.
