There are a few Units in Conqueror’s Blade that strike fear into the spirits of their enemies while also holding a special place in the hearts of the players who recruit them to their cause. The concept of a specific Unit being “iconic” can be for many reasons - raw power, ease of use, and tactical and strategic ability in battle.

The Winged Hussars were voted the most iconic Unit with a staggering 71% of the vote by Conqueror’s Blade moderators and community managers, and for good reason. They have been brought into battle 49,815 times by players worldwide and killed a total of 7,795,444 enemy soldiers (all-time)!

This 5-Star cavalry cavalcade comes equipped with lances and resistant traits. They use their swift attacks and long-reaching weaponry to decimate their opponents, all while not taking thermal damage. Inspired by the real-life Polish hussars, a mercenary force on horseback, the name ‘Winged’ comes from their elaborate uniforms, which featured a wooden arc embellished with feathers. Their primary tactic for battle was to charge at the enemy, overwhelming them with their heavy armour and fast and manoeuvrable horses.



In Conqueror’s Blade, the Winged Hussars benefit from many skills that make them so popular among Warlords from Longting to Ostaria and separate them from other high-level cavalry Units. Their Hussar Charge order can be upgraded to be unstoppable, meaning the soldiers will rush their enemies on speedy horseback, wielding their long-ranged lances to break lines and take down foes with ease, along with inflicting melee slashing damage.

Hungry for more cavalry action? Read up on the newest cavalry Unit to enter the battlefield in Season IX: Tyranny - the Outriders.

Tyrell recently celebrated her third anniversary at MY.GAMES, and now it’s time to get to know her a little better!

Tyrell operates behind the scenes, making sure all the cogs are turning to make sure you get the best Conqueror’s Blade community experience possible! We interrogated her about her day to day life and being eternally stuck in Indiana Jones.

You’ve been with MY.GAMES for a few years now, beginning as a Community Manager. Tell us about your journey here!

I started as a Community Manager at MY.GAMES in 2018! As of November, I've officially been here for three years! I began working on games such as Skyforge, Revelation Online, and Armored Warfare which Conqueror's Blade players may be familiar with. From there, I started to work entirely on Skyforge as the main Community Manager with Juriel! I remember loving that time, working during the day and waiting for Juriel to log in so I could talk about communication plans and report back on players' ideas. It was really rewarding. We worked for a good year in tandem like that!

Then MY.GAMES was looking for a Community Team Lead. I applied, went through all the steps, and here I am. I've been working almost exclusively on Conqueror's Blade since August 2020, and I'm having a great time. I'm lucky to work with such a cool team of community managers, both old and new! They make my life at work sweeter by being nice individuals with creative forces, and they inspire me on a daily basis. I want to thank everyone in the team - BluntCast, KT_Peridot, Chibs, PabloVanu, Agaria, Juriel, and to all the new ones - Malveque, Milord, and Volkie. And the Content team interviewing me at the moment!

Walk us through a day in the life of Tyrell when you’re working on Conqueror’s Blade.

Wow. A lot of things. I get up in the morning, have my coffee and go until the evening. I often forget to eat because I'm so focused on everything I do. If I had to sum it up quickly, I first check that everything is going well in the teams, that no one needs my immediate help. I look at the publication schedules and the different processes, and I check that nothing will be forgotten. This is often the moment when I arrive with a wonderful “hello <3” to Azureus and look at what can be done in terms of planning and social media posts for the community. The community managers organise what they want outside of the big periods like Halloween or the new seasons; that’s when I take over.

I look at what the community managers are telling us about the state of the community, what the players are happy about and not happy about and make sure the producers get the message.


I also spend a lot of time in meetings, preparing for big events. As I write these words, I'm already working on Season X. But I can't say anything yet! Apart from the launch of Seasons, I'm looking to improve the lives of the community managers, so when we launch a season, I'm 100% focused on making sure everyone has the information. But all of this would be impossible without Azureus, who does an amazing job behind the scenes; I’m grateful for that.

Which MY.GAMES projects do you work on?

I also work on Lost Ark, and I'm always keeping an eye on Skyforge; I can't help it. This means I have way too many internal chats.



What is your favourite thing about the Conqueror’s Blade community as a whole?

Their presence. I spend a lot of time reading the feedback from the players that the community managers send us every day. I use it as inspiration for new ideas, to see what we can do with it. I appreciate the passion that Conqueror's Blade players have for the game and their intransigence about what we offer. I read the Discord every day with my coffee, and the players' comments inspire me. This is the first time I've worked on a game that inspires so much passion from both the internal team and the players. I like that we're in sync.

Tell us about your funniest memory with the Community.

The Clash, without a doubt - we invited the MY.GAMES teams to compete against Content Creators, from Localisation to Marketing and Producers. It was our first big event created and designed by the community managers, an original idea from Kaeden that everyone worked hard on. I loved all the preparation streams, and I loved being able to play with the community managers. The players in the chat were really nice and gave me lots of advice on how to play this new class I was testing.

And, of course, that famous moment of defeat. How long did we last? Ten minutes? Something like that. But I can assure you that we put all our heart into it. I really liked the community’s memes afterwards; I remember one showing Pablo carrying the whole MY.GAMES team. For me, it was a successful mission to make the community laugh.



What was the first game you ever played, and how old were you?

The very first one? I'm French, so of course, Adibou, I must have been five. But one of the first games I really remember playing was an Indiana Jones game that I had a demo of. The CD was scratched, so I was always stuck in one particular room. I still wonder what happens next. Then Dungeon Keeper. I spent hours there, glued to the screen. I had to get my parents to buy Dungeon Keeper 2 the day it came out (in the mid-90s). I was crazy!

Finally, if you could add any one feature or element to Conqueror’s Blade, what would it be?

More horses. That’s my final word. Conqueror’s Horse is what I want.

You can get in touch with Tyrell via Discord and watch the whole team on the Conqueror’s Blade Twitch channel.

As the UK celebrates Bonfire Night on November 5 and dazzling explosions fill the night skies, join us for a journey into the history of gunpowder and its less festive uses in warfare.

There are few things more devastating in battle than the use of explosive warfare. The thunderous boom of an exploding bomb or ear-shattering blast of a claymore are just a couple of the sounds you don’t want to hear when you’re in battle. Explosives can turn the tide of a skirmish in seconds, either by obliterating enemy defences or the enemies themselves…

So how did these destructive incendiary devices come to be? While accurate records on when explosives (or gunpowder) were first invented are too old to be sourced, we can certainly look to Tang Dynasty-era China (618 to 907 AD) for a clue. Not only is this the auspicious period that inspired Season VIII: Dynasty, it was also when several pioneering discoveries were made — including that of gunpowder.

A mixture of saltpeter (potassium nitrate), sulfur, and charcoal combined resulted in a fearsome flash, which Chinese monks realised could be used for making fireworks and crafting signals before it was ever even considered to be used to harm.

That wouldn’t last long however, as explosive bombs were used in many conflicts soon after, most notably the “thunder-crash bombs” of the Jin Dynasty naval battle against the Mongols in 1231. The History of Jin (a historical Chinese text) reports that the defenders of the Mongol invasion used the iron-contained bombs to fend off their attackers, and the noise of the explosion was “like thunder, audible for more than thirty miles”. The damage caused by the bombs was extensive, describing that “vegetation was scorched and blasted by the heat. When hit, even iron armour was quite pierced through."

Just as ancient warriors could repel their foes with incendiary devices, so too can your forces in Conqueror’s Blade. The Shenji Grenadiers possess the same power as their bomb-toting real-life counterparts, throwing grenades that not only displace, but damage enemies. This elite Unit is available to unlock now via Unit Challenges, and you may find them to be your last line of defence against the Tyrant.

Penny for the guy?

Become acquainted with your new Polish Community Manager: Malveque! Malveque is itching to provide support and entertainment to the Polish Conqueror’s Blade Community, and you may have already seen her streaming ferocious battles on our Twitch channel and engaging with players in our Discord.

We sat down with Malveque for a chat and discussed everything from her time as a content creator to Hetman Chodkiewicz.

What was the first game you ever played? And do you still play it?

The first game I played was Crash Bandicoot. When not everyone had access to a PlayStation, my cousin allowed me to play at his place from time to time. Of course, Crash was forgotten for many years until the remastered version! I still love Crash, and after years of not playing, it turns out that it is not as simple as I thought!

What are your hobbies outside of gaming?

I try to spend a lot of time outside. I am a gardener by passion (I have my own little garden, which I take care of every morning!). In the summer, I kayak, and I've also become interested in paddleboarding, which has become my new hobby. I am also trying to get back into swimming, but the ongoing pandemic makes it a bit difficult for me. As you can see - I spend almost all my free time near or in the water.

What is your favourite thing about Conqueror’s Blade?

Battles. I played Lineage for a long time and loved the weekend Siege Battles. In many games, I miss collective PvP, which is what I love about Conqueror’s Blade battles.

Tell us about how you got started in Community Management.

I was in PR for a long time and was also a content creator, but one day I realised that to do this part of your job well, you need to understand the community - know who they are and their expectations. It is only possible if you talk to them, so I decided to become a CM for a while. Initially, it was supposed to be only six months, but in the end, I have been doing it for several years! I have quite a lot of experience building a community in indie games, which is not an easy task. At the same time, I'm just the type of person who talks a lot - so it's probably no wonder that CM is an ideal job for me.

What made you want to join Conqueror’s Blade and its community?

I was looking for a new challenge, and online games are new and different from being a CM on the developer side. In addition, I got into Conqueror’s Blade a bit myself, so being a CM here is a combination of fun and useful.



What is your favourite thing about streaming?

I am the type of person who prefers reading to watching, so I don't watch too many streams myself. However, this is a very nice way to connect with people, and that's what it's all about.

If you could make a customised Hero Attire for Conqueror’s Blade, what would it be inspired by?

I am a fan of the Middle Ages, so I love simple period costumes. But then again, I do not attach much importance to the appearance of my Hero.

If the world of Conqueror’s Blade came to life and you were a Warlord, how well do you think you’d fare in battles?

Hahaha, bad! I'd rather hide in a castle and get ready to flee! Seriously, I love to run into the middle of the battle, which is not the best tactic for games like Conqueror’s Blade because I should be strategic. It seems that as befits a Pole, I should say that I would be like Hetman Chodkiewicz and defend Chocim, although I know it wouldn’t be as heroic. For this reason, I am glad that Conqueror’s Blade is a game and not real life.

We hope you’re enjoying the epic battles as part of the Territory Wars of Season IX: Tyranny! We’re here to answer any questions you may have about the new Territory War changes and what to expect.
Houses that meet the requirements to declare war (dependent on both Prestige and House Level) can have their Liege or Seneschals declare war on a specific fief which they then attack during Territory War. If multiple Houses declare war on a single fief, the House with the most Prestige will be able to attack it first, and they will become the Ruling House for that attack, gaining the authority to decide who can join the battle.

If the Ruling House occupies the fief, they will be temporarily removed from the Ruling House selection list, and the House with the second-most Prestige can attack. If they lose the battle, they will lose Prestige, and the next House can attack, and so on.
Houses can gain Prestige via completing House Quests, occupying fiefs, and upgrading fiefs. Completing one phase of a House quest will activate the next phase, and is a great way to earn Prestige for use in Territory Wars.
Houses that wish to declare war against a fief must be of a higher level than the fief in question and have Prestige exceeding the amount necessary for that fief. The requirements to declare war against a fief will increase with its level and is also affected by its type (villages, cities, or forts).

There are several actions that a House can take that fall into the unreasonable or inappropriate war declaration category and lead to a loss of Prestige:

• Abrupt War Declarations: Declaring war against a fief 24 hours before Territory War begins and failing the attack will result in a 1.25x Prestige loss. Similarly, declaring war against a fief during Territory War and failing that attack will result in a 2x Prestige loss.
• Excess of Territory: War declarations for Houses that control 3-4 fiefs will cost 200 Prestige. If a House has 5 or more fiefs, war declarations will cost 500 Prestige.
• Attacking Weak Fiefs: For houses with 2-4 towns and forts, declaring war against a village will cost 100 Prestige. If a house has 5-6, war declarations against villages will cost 200 Prestige. If a house has 7 or more, war declarations against villages will cost 300 Prestige.
• Declaring Too Many Wars: Houses may at most declare war against ten fiefs during a single Territory War, but after the fourth declaration, Prestige will be deducted at the point of declaration.

In cases where multiple Houses have equal Prestige, the House who declares war first will assume command of the war on a fief as the Ruling House.

When Territory War begins, the Prestige of all Houses will be displayed in descending order, and the House ranked first will become the Ruling House.

Once the Ruling House has been decided, the list order will stop changing. If the Ruling House doesn't start a battle within three minutes, they will lose 1,000 Prestige, and the other houses in the list will once again be ordered based on Prestige to see who will command the battle.

If the Ruling House fails to occupy the fief, they will lose Prestige but remain within the war declartation list. Houses will then once again be ordered based on Prestige, and if they still have the most Prestige, they will command the next battle as well.

The Ruling House has full control over the battle, and members of that House with the authority to do so may change the settings regarding whether members from other Houses may participate or remove any Warlord from the battle.
If the Ruling House fails to occupy the fief (whether the defenders successfully defend it or if another House, including other Houses in their Alliance, manage to occupy it), they will lose a certain percentage of Prestige. A minimum of 100 Prestige is lost against towns, 80 against forts, and 50 against villages. Actual percentages depend on fief type and level.
After declaring war against a fief, a House has the option to withdraw from the battle. Withdrawing from a battle will deduct Prestige. A House that is not the Ruling House will lose 200 Prestige upon withdrawing. However, should the Ruling House withdraw, they will suffer a bigger hit to their Prestige. If they retreat before the battle has begun, they will lose 400 Prestige, plus another 15% deduction of their remaining Prestige. Upon doing so, a new Ruling House will immediately be selected. However, this fief will still count toward that House's war declarations for this Territory War and might lead to further Prestige losses.

The Ruling House cannot withdraw from a battle that has already begun.

Houses may also not declare war against fiefs they withdraw from during that Territory War.
A House that loses a fief during Territory War will lose a large amount of Prestige (based on type and level):
If a House occupies a fief then loses it, they will lose a small amount of Prestige (based on type and level).
If a House successfully defends a fief during the course of an entire Territory War, they will gain a small amount of Prestige for that fief (based on type and level).
A House that manages to occupy a fief will earn even more Prestige (based on type and level).
It costs House coins to build field camps. The cost depends on what type of camp is being built, and there is a cap on the number of different field camps that can exist within a region.

Players who joined the Imperial Restorationists or those not in a House cannot build field camps.

Buying artillery (siege towers, siege machines, battering rams) at field camps costs House coins.

The Ruler's Flag will grant 200 Prestige for contending for the Ruling House in that area. This Prestige is lost upon its destruction. There may only be one Ruler's Flag in a fief area.
When a fief owned by a House is upgraded, they will gain Prestige (based on its type and level) to reflect this.

Whether a fief can be upgraded depends on its building materials. Completing quests in a fief grants it materials. When a fief's material quantity reaches level-up requirements, the liege of its occupant House may upgrade it.
Whether a fief gets demoted or not is related to its Prosperity. Some materials will be used every Monday at midnight for maintenance, and if you have sufficient building materials in your fief warehouse, a small number of building materials are deducted, and your fief's Prosperity value increases by 30. If you have insufficient building materials in your fief warehouse, building materials are not deducted and your fief's Prosperity value decreases by 50.

If the center of a fief is captured during Territory War, it will lose 15 Prosperity. If the defenders' camp is lost, it will lose 50 Prosperity.

When a fief owned by a House is demoted, they will lose Prestige (based on its type and level) to reflect this. If a fief is demoted as it switches owners, the original owners will lose the corresponding Prestige.
We will continue monitoring Territory Wars and make adjustments as the Season and future Seasons continue. You can keep an eye out for any changes in our Patch Notes.

We've all been there. You're gallivanting and swashbuckling through a decrepit Wallachian castle, fighting off crazed bats and gigantic arachnids, when suddenly, you nick your hand on an ancient sword, stumble into a random tomb containing an ancient coffin, and the blood dripping from your open wound rejuvenates an unspeakable evil rejected by Hell itself. Mondays, am I right? 

You know what you did was wrong, but the question is, how are you going to make things right? It’s time to ask yourself a few questions.



Where are you? 

Why, you’re in Wallachia, of course! A region of Romania that houses the iconic province of Transylvania and just so happens to be the birthplace of your powerful new enemy...

Who is this demonic man? 

That would be Vlad The Impaler, or Vlad III, or Vlad Dracula — three-time Voivode of Wallachia, and the quintessential vampire. The inspiration for Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Vlad did some pretty questionable stuff, including but not limited to…. impaling people. While Vlad The Impaler did have a taste for blood, it was more metaphorical. Unfortunately for you, this is the vampiric version of Vlad, and he looks hungry.

Why is he here? 

What better place to wait out your eternal suffering than in a decrepit castle in a Romanian forest? Also, thanks to those 80,000 people who Vlad murdered in cold blood, he may be hiding out until the heat dies down. Give it another few hundred years, Vlad.

What does he want? 

To take you back to his Wallachian palace and impale you! Some don’t consider Vlad all that bad — he achieved folk hero status due to his fight for the independence of Romanian lands. That was, of course, before an undead curse doomed him, and before you toppled into his sarcophagus, waking him up and making him ravenous with that wound...

How can you fight him off and send him back to the depths of Hell? 

As many vampires possess superhuman strength, it may not be that easy to take Vlad down, but stake to the heart could work nicely. Maybe a splash of holy water, a few cloves of garlic. But as with all monsters, will he ever truly be gone? 

Think your friend might be cursed with Vlad’s affliction? Find out how to spot a vampire with our Creepy Conqueror’s Tales. You can also pay homage to Dracula with our bloody fantastic vampire-themed attires.
