Greetings Everyone,

90 years ago, in December 1932, The Phoenix on the Sword appeared in Weird Tales. This was the first Conan the Barbarian short story to be published by Robert E. Howard. Since then, the world of Conan and the legend of his adventures has only continued to grow.


Today, we celebrate this anniversary by highlighting the rich videogame legacy of Conan through The Conan Bundle, which includes Conan Exiles, Conan Unconquered, and Conan Chop Chop:



Conan Exiles – Survive, build, and conquer in a vast savage land.
The online multiplayer survival game, now with sorcery, set in the lands of Conan the Barbarian. Survive and explore a vast open world sandbox, build your home into a kingdom, and dominate your enemies in single or multiplayer.

Conan Unconquered – Defy the wrath of endless hordes with strategy and strength.
From the Command & Conquer veterans at Petroglyph comes the first ever survival RTS set in the savage world of Conan the Barbarian. Stand against the innumerable hordes with the strength of your army, heroes like Conan, and in a last resort, the colossal Avatar of Mitra himself. Defend your stronghold solo or together in co-op.

Conan Chop Chop – Thrive and die gloriously in frantically funny top-down battle.
Charge into a party roguelite for 1-4 players full of mayhem, loot, and adventure. In this outrageous take on Conan the Barbarian, you are the muscle-bound hero foolish enough to try and stop the evil wizard Thoth-Amon!

With both the Winter Sale (50-60%) and additional Bundle Discount (10%), this is a fantastic opportunity to explore these three games. If you already own any of them, buying the bundle will simply add what you are missing. Please note that The Conan Bundle includes the base games, not expansions and DLC content.

The anniversary and Conan Bundle aren’t the only reasons to celebrate. Released this month, you can pick up the first Conan novel in over a decade – Conan – Blood of the Serpent, by S.M. Stirling.

It’s time to raise your sword and plunge into the savage world of sword and sorcery, myth and monsters.

From the whole team here at Funcom, we wish you an amazing holiday!

We’re thrilled to announce that Conan Chop Chop has arrived, bringing you the most unhinged vision of Hyboria yet!

With the wacky turned to 11, Conan Chop Chop invites you and your friends to join forces in both local and online multiplayer for this 1-4 player party roguelite game.


Charge into a crazy adventure as Conan, Valeria, Belit, or Pallantides, each with their unique upgradable skill trees, and stop the evil wizard Thoth-Amon. He may have an army of weird monsters and a great maniacal villain laugh, but you have your muscle-bound stick limbs, a good ol’ chopper, and a whole lot of rage, so get hackin’.

Let loose your most dramatic war cry as you mash that chop button, through endlessly varied magically generated maps bursting with loot. You will die and rise again, a little richer, a little wiser, a little more fueled by vengeance.

What is best in life? CHOP, CHOP!

The world of Conan is getting a little bigger and… flatter. Almost 3 years ago we teased – by way of an April Fools’ joke – a new adventure for Conan. We want to celebrate everything we love about Conan in a more comedic and light-hearted tone. It’s been a journey, but Conan Chop Chop is almost here.
Conan Chop Chop is a party rogue-lite for 1-4 players full of mayhem, loot, and adventure. In this outrageous take on Conan the Barbarian, you are the muscle-bound hero foolish enough to try and stop the evil wizard Thoth-Amon!

Hello everyone! We're releasing a small patch with a few fixes and tweaks which you can read about below:

• Easy mode now spawns 20% fewer enemies.

We hope you've been enjoying the latest content and, as always, please don't hesitate to share any feedback you might have!

She's here to volley arrows and chew bubble gum. Introducing:
Belit

Born in Shem, Belit was a corsair, explorer and warrior. Worshiped as a goddess by her crew, she was Conan's first and greatest love. Belit is a ranged unit who uses a Hyrkanian bow in combat. She has the range of an Archer with her damage falling somewhere between Conan and Valeria. She is equal to Valeria in movement speed.

Her deadly ability, "Rain of Arrows", fires a volley of arrows at a target position, damaging everything in the area for the duration of the effect. If near a Brazier, the ability becomes "Rain of Flaming Arrows". Belit cannot move while the ability is active but becomes immune to damage until the effect ends.

Please note that ALL heroes will be available to everyone when this patch goes to the Live branch later this month. This includes the archer hero, Belit and the powerful spell caster Kalanthes. This also means the Deluxe Edition of the game will no longer be available for purchase, but those who bought it previously will still keep the eBook and the soundtrack include in the Deluxe Edition.

We’re happy to announce that Conan Unconquered will be free to play this weekend starting now! This is a great time to try the game if you don’t yet own it or get a friend in to conquer the lands with in co-op mode. If you purchase it during the free weekend, you’ll also get it for 30% off! Additionally, starting today, Conan Unconquered will permanently remain at a new price point of $19.99.

Now go forth and remain unconquered!

Hey all! We have a new patch for you. This is now on live, moved from TestLive. So if you've seen the TestLive notes, you'll notice they are about the same. :)



We have completely revised how scoring is done for the game. We did this for two reasons:

• The original scoring system scored only on kills, which tended to promote bad play habits.
  
• The kill scoring system was completely unfair to co-op players who liked to primarily build the base and leave the combat to the other player.

• The base score for killing a creature or creep nest has been reduced. This revision adds new dynamic modifiers, so this was needed to keep scores from getting larger than the score screen could handle. However, most players should see their scores get larger overall.
  
• You now will gain score for each structure you build; the score is relative to the gold build cost of the structure.
  
• You now will gain score for each research task you complete; the score is relative to the gold build cost of the task.
  
• You now gain score for all resources you collect each resource period; the score is relative to the market value of the resource. Note that this score will NOT be counted once the final wave spawns.
  
• Heroes no longer grant a veteran level-up score. Their score is exclusively tracked via the Hero Score Multiplier (see below).

• Players can now save their progress in longer co-op battles and resume again at a later time.
  
• Save file is stored on the host player’s system.
  
• Host can resume a co-op match with anyone, not just the original player they were paired with.

You will notice a new score GUI element in the upper right corner which lists new score bonus modifiers:

• Wave Score Multiplier - When a wave spawns, this multiplier begins at 3x. Every 45 seconds, this drops by 0.5x until the wave is completed. It is reset to 3.0 for each wave (but see below). The minimum wave score modifier is 0.5.
  
• Hero Score Multiplier - Each wave your hero survives without dying adds one to this score. Dying resets it to 1x. There is no cap for this modifier.
  
• Guardian Kill Score - Each guardian you kill raises this by 2. This is similar to the original guardian bonuses. The cap is 6x in solo and 10x in co-op (2x per guardian).
  
• Final Score Multiplier (the big circle) - This is the final modifier that is applied to ALL scores you gain. This is a multiplicative total of the previous three modifiers.

Two new buttons have been added to the wave timer. These buttons have a direct impact on your score.

• Wave Advance Button - This button will instantly spawn the wave. Your Wave Score Multiplier will increase for each 30 seconds of time you had remaining on the wave. Note that if you have used the Wave Delay Button on the wave, you can no longer use the Wave Advance button for THAT WAVE. Be aware that this reduces the overall available time between waves; it’s recommended for advanced players.
  
• Wave Delay Button - This button will delay the currently progressing wave by 30 seconds. Each time you click this button it will reduce the Wave Score Multiplier by 0.5. Once you use this button, the Wave Advance Button becomes unavailable. It also has a limited number of uses (you can't reduce your Wave Score Modifier below 0.5).

The game results screen (seen by clicking the Book button on the Score GUI or at the end of a match) has been revised to show all of the above changes:

• The kill score for enemies has been condensed into the "Carnage" score.
  
• Added new score listings for Construction, Research and Resource Gain
  
• Added "Kill Streak" stat which shows the largest number of kills within a set time period. This stat is not scored, but is added for flavor.

• Coin of Bel – Doubled the effect radius to make the effect more friendly to ranged heroes.
  
• Pushed movement area of units outwards on many map tiles to prevent units from walking through visually awkward areas
  
• Team color modifications to aesthetically improve the worn desert look.
  
• Various animation improvements to units to adjust for increased movement speed (Heavy Archer, Flying Demon, Mitra, etc.)
  
• Fixed damage tooltip issue with Pikeman
  
• Fix for Wave 6 on Co-Op 10-Mission scenario (too many enemies were spawning)
  
• Additional physics destructions for buildings.
  
• Added structure variations to battle standards, hovels, dwellings, manses, lumber mills, and hunter shacks.
