Get out our inkwells and quills, it’s time to compose an epic poem! From now until April 21 you can enter your wonderful works in our poetry contest over on Discord.

Get inspired by The Song of Roland, a French chanson de geste from the 11th century, a period when French literature was producing masterpieces;

King Marsilies he lay at Sarraguce,

Went he his way into an orchard cool;

There on a throne he sate, of marble blue,

Round him his men, full twenty thousand, stood.

Called he forth then his counts, also his dukes:

"My Lords, give ear to our impending doom:

That Emperour, Charles of France the Douce,

Into this land is come, us to confuse.

I have no host in battle him to prove,

Nor have I strength his forces to undo.

Counsel me then, ye that are wise and true;

Can ye ward off this present death and dule?"

What word to say no pagan of them knew,

Save Blancandrin, of th' Castle of Val Funde.

Flex those rhyming muscles to write your very own verse about your battles and adventures in Conqueror’s Blade: Paragons, then post it in the contest Discord channel to be in with a chance of winning a Paragons Battle Pass and Sovereigns!

Check out our contest rules here, and make sure you enter before April 21 (23:59 CEST)!

Following changes to Attire Chests that arrived shortly after the release of Conqueror’s Blade: Paragons, with the April 14 update, we’ll be rolling out adjustments to Attire Scraps, introducing a new Attire Chest, and some new in-game Currency types.
Attire Scraps are proving less useful when duplicates are salvaged, and players are finding it difficult to claim rarer attires (especially epic ones) from Attire Chests and impossible to earn limited-time Attires from past events. So, from April 14, you will no longer receive Attire Scraps, but will instead get Fragments or Curios when salvaging duplicated Attires and customisation items.



Fragments are acquired when salvaging attires or customisation items of any rarity, whereas Curios are obtained from items of rare, epic, or legendary quality.

Note: Rare attires and items still have a chance to grant Fragments.

Fragments and Curios will be available to earn from various limited-time events, and available to exchange for Attires in the Attire Chest menu (by pressing ‘G’), which will include event-exclusive attires (last seen in 2021), and exclusive attires from Attire Challenges, amongst others.

Attire Scraps will not be reclaimed, but from April 14, you can exchange them for Golden Keys or Silver Keys at a 150:1 conversion rate at the Artisan. You will still be able to earn Attire Scraps from events.
Following the news that all unopened Attire Chests from events will be converted into an equal number of Golden Keys, from April 14 we will be converting Artisan Attire Collections into Golden Keys too. You can find these under the Attire Chest menu (‘G’).

We will also be introducing a new Attire Chest into the mix. Simply purchase Silver Keys from the in-game shop to open the Antique Attire Chest. The Eclectic Antique Attire Chest and Silver Key will be available at all times, unlike limited-time Attire Chests which require Golden Keys (only available in the store when a limited-time Attire Chest is available).

The Antique Attire Chest will give you a chance to receive recoloured attires from Seize the Crown to Legacy of Fire seasons, with more being added later on. Check out the drop rates and items in the Attire Chest menu (‘G’).

Stay tuned for more information on new additions to the attires available in Antique Attire Chest!

Countless cultures around the world used the written word to convey emotions, tell stories, and circulate important ideas. As many socio-economic developments took shape in Medieval Europe (including France), it was the perfect time to pen epics that captured the moment in time; in doing so, this also gave rise to many great authors and poets.

One of the most celebrated writers of this era was Jean Bodel, who categorised French literature into three distinct types; the Matter of France, the Matter of Rome, and the Matter of Britain. The most well-known of these creations included epic poems named ‘chansons de geste’ (songs of heroic deeds). Most early chansons de geste are anonymous, but tell relatable and moral stories to their audience. The oldest and most famous of these is The Song of Roland (circa 1098, by Unknown), seen by many as the national poem of France.

Charles the King, our Lord and Sovereign,

Full seven years hath sojourned in Spain,

Conquered the land, and won the western main,

Now no fortress against him doth remain,

No city walls are left for him to gain,

Save Sarraguce, that sits on high mountain

The poem consists of an impressive 291 verses, of which the above is an excerpt from the first. The tale explores the eternal battle between good and evil and marks the beginning of the First Crusade to the Holy Lands of the 11th century.

Hundreds of these manuscripts still exist today, dating from the 12th to the 15th century, and give us a glimpse into how the written word was passed along and consumed by readers so many years before.

The people of Pays-de-la-Gloire would undoubtedly have consumed these forms of media to pass along stories of heroism, loyalty, and chivalry of the great warrior-seer Gabrielle-Mäelys and her devoted army to the generations to come.

Effective April 13, 2022, we will be adjusting the Turkish lira price of Conqueror’s Blade content sold through the official website, Steam, and MY.GAMES Market by +50%. Any purchases and Sovereign top-ups made using lira before this date are unaffected by this adjustment.

This decision was made due to ongoing fluctuations in Turkey’s economy causing the lira to lose value. Though we delayed this action for as long as possible in case of financial recovery, it was ultimately necessary to ensure global parity with players paying in different currencies.

Players paying in Turkish lira have benefitted from a competitive rate since we first launched Turkish support for Conqueror’s Blade in August 2020; this remains the case even post-adjustment.

Our monetisation team is actively monitoring the financial situation in the game’s supported regions to ensure fair value for Conqueror’s Blade players everywhere. We may consider future pricing adjustments if our financial data supports such cases.

If you need assistance or have queries about payments in Turkish Lira and your issue is not addressed anywhere else, please contact the Support team.

As Conqueror’s Blade: Paragons battles rage on, we continue to assess the effectiveness and viability of our many different units. Today, we want to share some of the changes we plan to release for Kheshigs and Liao's Rangers on April 14.
We made changes to the Kheshigs' ability to kill heroes in a previous set of balance changes. Their average hero kill rate has since dropped around 14% compared to previous statistics, and that's pretty much in line with what we were aiming for. However, they are still very potent against units too. They can slaughter lots of infantry units using “Sabre Combo” in only a short amount of time.

Looking at the statistics, the Kheshigs remain one of the top units in terms of win rate, hero kills, and unit kills. Our original intention was for the Kheshigs to be a flanking cavalry unit with high speed and burst potential, making them great for harassing units. However, in the current meta, they can even break through the defences of heavy shield units. That's something only cavalry with heavier weaponry should be capable of. We want the Kheshigs to retain their ability to quickly assault from the flanks or behind but reduce their effectiveness when going toe-to-toe against shield infantry.

Skill Changes

• Kheshigs' attacks can be blocked during "Sabre Combo"
• The hitbox of attacks during “Sabre Combo” will be reduced by 18%, making it more in line with the size of their weapons.

As a cavalry unit that wields heavy weapons, we decided that Liao’s Ranger should be stronger when facing heavy shield units in close quarters. We also want players to be able to chain together skills for quick assaults or sustained combat bouts.

Skill Changes

• We're reducing “Bludgeon's” cooldown to 15 seconds (was 19) and extending its duration to 4 seconds (was 3.7).
• We're increasing “Devastation’s” blunt armour penetration by 21% and blunt damage by 12%. As well as “Bludgeon's” blunt armour penetration by 16%.
• We're lowering the Fire Lance's firing delay by 30% and increasing the bullet count per shot to 3 (was 2).

We hope these changes improve your battle experience when commanding Kheshigs and Liao’s Rangers!

Known today as the food capital of the world, France is famous for its sublime cheese, delectable bread, delicious pastries, and, of course, divine wine. These items were perfected in the Medieval period when the rich discovered far away places with intriguing spices, while peasants had to make do with whatever they could cultivate from the land. Resplendent recipes and delicious staple dishes were created that still grace the lips of locals and tourists to this day.

Let’s explore the food that the people of Medieval France were tucking into and just which mouthwatering meals they were relishing.
The feasts of the aristocracy during Medieval times in France were things to behold; tables laden with meats and breads, all seasoned with the most lavish spices and seasonings money could buy (and only the affluent could get hold of). These exotic herbs included cinnamon, nutmeg, and cumin, among many others, and were served along with lavish meats such as swan and peacock. The myth that spices were used to cover up the smell of spoiled meat is false in the case of the elite in Medieval France; they were certainly not served rotten food.


But who were the ones cooking this magnificent feast? The staff included a maître queux (head cook) at the head of the staff, all the way down to the oven-working souffleur. Recipes were passed along to other chefs and kitchen staff by word of mouth, then handwritten, and eventually transitioned to printed cookbooks. The first example of these were culinary treatises in the 13th century.

But what of the nobility of Pays-de-la-Gloire in Conqueror’s Blade: Paragons? They would most likely be served multiple courses of everything from squab to wild boar and finished with a dessert of pears stewed in wine. Common fare would include shortcrust pies (which were developed in the Medieval era), aged cheese, hypocras (spiced wine), and dragées (spiced lumps of set sugar or honey), just like their real-life counterparts.
The peasants of Medieval France were definitely not sitting down to a dinner of quite such sumptuousness. A typical meal for a poor peasant of the time would consist of cabbage, onions, herring, and wheat bread. Herring and cuttlefish were everyday fishes, unlike the bourgeois’ cod, salmon, and pike. Salting meats was necessary to preserve them for the poor, much like everywhere else in Medieval Europe at the time.

However, they didn’t miss out on some of life’s luxuries; even the poorest still drank wine which they cultivated from the vine themselves. There were no exotic spices with which to season their paltry meals, though, only mustard which was widely grown.

Immerse yourself in French history with our Conqueror’s Tales, and learn about everything that inspired the people and culture of Paragons, from the gruesome guillotine, to the misunderstood Marie Antoinette, to telltale tapestries.
