Territory Wars are one of Conqueror's Blade's core game modes, where players must work together with members of their House and Alliance to conquer cities. We're happy to see how active everyone is and that many players enjoy the experience. However, we've also spotted issues and heard feedback that we simply cannot ignore in its current iteration. While we encourage players to work together, the experience of each individual player is important too.

As it stands, most rewards are tied together with the glory of your House or Alliance and don't grant individual players much growth. The way in which the rewards are currently issued poses an issue with their usage too. Going forward, players will be awarded Triumph, and we're diversifying the types of rewards and reward quantity available in the Imperial Store. This means that we're giving you more agency over what rewards you earn. This will in turn serve to give you the rewards that will best aid you in your future Conqueror's Blade journeys.

But that's not all—until now, most rewards have been granted at the end of a Season, meaning that there was little to be gained from Territory Wars during the early and mid stages. This in turn meant that, during the later stages, the occupation or loss of a single fief could have a massive effect on a player’s final rewards. We'll therefore distribute rewards more evenly across the entire Territory Wars period going forward.

With Triumph being the core reward, we'll make the following changes to Territory War:
Campaign Quests and Nobility Title rewards will now only award Triumph. Completing all Campaign Quests will net you 140 Triumph, which will get you close to 10 Treatises if you so choose.
You'll be awarded Triumph based on your Battle Score.

• Added Doctrine reconditioning materials
• Purchase limit of Treatises raised to 20

We hope that this reward revamp will serve as an encouragement for more players to participate in Territory Wars. We'll continue to adjust Territory War's rules and the baseline experience as we go forward. If possible, we also hope that you'll all give us as much feedback as you can.
During the past few months, we've increased the rate of Unit balance changes and expanded their scope, attempted to add extra leadership to the Campaign phases, and designed new modes and mechanics for some maps.

We'll be focusing on your feedback as we progress from here and continue to adjust the game where we deem necessary. We're also looking to try out more new things and see how they pan out. What's more, we'd love for the community to give us all the feedback you have, your feelings and thoughts on the game as a whole, and your boldest ideas which you can share directly with us on Discord!

See you on the battlefield!

Ambitious capsuleers,

Multiple Character Training (MCT) is now available at 50% off its full price over in the EVE store. The discounted price runs from 11-15 November, celebrating Singles Day.

MCT gives you the ability to simultaneously train and develop skills across multiple characters on a single account. As such, MCT presents an opportunity to bypass training one character at a time, letting you increase your potential and influence across the start cluster. Whatever your goals in New Eden are, this limited-time offer will get you to them faster!

MCT has also made its debut in the New Eden Store (NES)! You can finally trade PLEX for MCT, so if you have PLEX to spend, MCT offers a powerful return on investment for NES customers. Just like the one in the EVE Store, MCT cannot be traded, and may only be used by active Omega accounts.

Head to the EVE Store by 15 November to take advantage of the unmissable MCT saving.

- Measured power for Atom Renton is now properly saved
- Fixed mod bonus parts bug
- Drag index is now displayed in parking and map
- Fixed "New and shiny" achievement
- You can now tune I6 carburetor

Lilium is an Early Access game at this point. It's fully playable and should be fun without any serious bugs. I've spent a lot of time making sure it runs well without issues.

It's the core of the game. A short main story, some side quests, a few dungeons and a single island with some small patches of land around it.

There is lot in the making. New gameplay systems, asset replacements, graphics overhaul and of course much more content in the form of new explorable islands, dungeons and loot.

I hope you'll have fun playing it! Please give me your honest feedback as well. A lot can change based on your feedback.
