New UIs:

This update brings us closer to the full launch, and we can't wait for you to experience all the new content and features!

Aglovan Reskin – The Knight Faction Leader

Our hero, Aglovan, has gone through a bit of a transformation. After revisiting his design, we realized he needed a bit of an update to match the current state of our game. Now, Aglovan looks sharper, a little older, and ready to lead his people with renewed vigor. This new reskin ensures he fits more seamlessly with the game's evolving aesthetic and tone. We can’t wait for you to see him in action!



New Warlord Faction Buildings: Hunter’s Hut & Beast Lodge

In this update, we’re excited to introduce two new Warlord Faction buildings:


Hunter’s Hut: This building is key for training your ranged units. At Tier 1, you’ll start with Spear Throwers, basic but versatile units. As you upgrade the building to Tier 2, you gain access to the more advanced Elven Bowmen, known for their precision and range. Finally, at Tier 3, you’ll be able to recruit the powerful Pyromaniacs, units that combine fire and ranged attacks to wreak havoc on enemy lines.


Beast Lodge: Focused on cavalry units, the Beast Lodge starts with Centaurs at Tier 1, swift and reliable for hit-and-run tactics. At Tier 2, you can train Deer Riders, units with enhanced mobility and strength. The final upgrade, Tier 3, unlocks the fearsome Bear Riders, cavalry units known for their immense power and durability in battle.

These buildings and units will provide crucial tactical advantages as you expand your Warlord forces!

Lore Piece #3 – Sneak Peek



Lastly, we’re excited to tease our next Lore Piece, #3, which will be released soon. In this chapter, our hero Aglovan has finally reached the shores of Darkwoods with his army. As they prepare to face the enemy forces, the tension rises, and their first contact with the enemy sets the stage for an epic confrontation. Stay tuned for more lore details to immerse yourself further into the world of Mantaria!

That’s it for DevBlog 19! Stay tuned for next week’s massive update and the release of Lore Piece #3.

Conan Exiles - Andy B
Greetings Exiles!Gather your swords and shields, for the Age of Heroes is soon upon us, and you will be on a quest for blood and vengeance throughout the Exiled Lands! Prepare your bandages and aloe extracts, for this October will bring more than just the hauntings of Yog.

As the New Age approaches, we are excited to introduce you to another type of accomplice to join you in your barbarian way of life: Companions!

Companions
The Gods have heard your pleas. You have asked for a different kind of follower, perhaps even a sorcerer, and they have decided it is time to answer!

Companions are a new type of followers who are not itemized or subjugated into accompanying you. Instead, they will require commitment and dedication in order to perceive you as the hero they can walk behind.

When the Chapter arrives, two such companions will be permanently added to the Exiled Lands. Once you find them, you will be able to embark on new adventures, challenges, and quests! You will take the lead in some of the quests, but there will be parts of this story you will write together with your new companions, as they follow or guide you into completing what’s needed to reach their goal.

Each companion has their own demons to contend with. You, the exile, must decide if your sweat and blood are expendable to help these strangers in need.
Although companions are still balanced in tune with existing followers, new powers, abilities, and perks will accompany them.


Be mindful of your actions as your choices will shape their future. As followers, companions will have perks that shape their abilities. Which will be unique to their skill set based on who they are and what their story is about.

By the end of their story, your companion can develop differently from another depending on your choices and actions. Once you recruit them, you can inspect their perks to learn exactly what moment from your journey together made them set on that perk and how those abilities will present when facing battle. Each companion has a total of six possible perks, although they will only be able to learn 3 through your interactions. Your companion could end up with a completely different set of perks than another brought in by a clan member. You may have multiple companions of the same character with distinct arrangements of perks. It’s up to you to progress through the quests for each additional one you aspire to recruit.

Another addition to the companions is the expansion of the lore. As you transverse the Lands, they will voice their memories, share details about specific locations, and enrich the experience of exploring the world. All of that is done with fully voiced dialogues, accompanied by subtitles that are localized in all languages available in Conan Exiles. Free them of their burden and travel together to learn where they have been and what memories they cherish or despise.

Liu Fei
This chapter introduces you to Liu Fei, a mysterious sorcerer trapped somewhere among humanoid grey apes. But hey, what harm can there be in helping a sorcerer?


Follow his call. Listen carefully to his stories and decide if you are willing to take the risk of wielding your sword or casting incantations in his name.

Freya
Reacquaint yourself with the wolfish Aesir warrior: Freya! She is waiting for a hero who will listen to her mournful chants and help her to get back on her feet as the fierce hunter that we all know and admire. Find her at a high peak surrounding the Northern Aqueduct.


A bloodthirsty desire for revenge is the setting for this adventure and it’s up to you to lead or be guided by this warrior! The way you handle the end of your sword will determine what traits of her strength will flourish the most.

Explore, Exile! Find Liu Fei and Freya and aid them until you obtain their trust. They'll come equipped with new perks and abilities that could prove to be a useful addition to your troops. That is... if you are capable of the greatest feat of gaining their loyalty first.

Age of Heroes Chapter One is coming in October with companions, improvements, and new cosmetic items on the Black Lotus Bazaar!

Athena Crisis - mrorie


Construction of the mausoleum of Emperor Qin commenced in 246 BCE, and eventually grew to require the labor of 700,000 conscripted workers to complete the almost 100 square kilometer necropolis city. An even more fun fact: Qin wasn’t even dead when this work began. He was only 13 years old! If there is such a thing as *pre*crastination, surely getting a jump start on funeral planning for an emperor in his early teens is a signpost example. More importantly to the Community Map of the Week, Emperor Qin’s burial grounds contain almost 9,000 life-size terracotta figurines, destined to protect the Emperor from whatever challenges awaited him in the undiscovered country of the afterlife.

Terracotta Armies by CoconutTank has a fun twist on this story, in that you will be able to reanimate its armies using the Rescue ability on your Pioneers and Saboteurs to create a fighting force…but your opponent will be doing the same thing! This map is utterly packed with neutral units, belonging to neither side, at the outset of the map. You each start with one Pioneer, which you’ll immediately send to your side of the map to begin Rescuing as many units as you can and converting them to your side.

There’s a lot of strategy at play here, obviously. Do you attempt to Rescue as many Pioneers as you can at the start of the map, risking an early rush from an opponent’s Flamethrower or Humvee? Do you attempt to move north or south towards the naval and aerial units to build a mobile army? Do you focus on vehicles and attempt to repair them at the Repair Stations near you? The more powerful units on each side are near the edges of the map, and since you can’t pass over Neutral units, you’ll need to rescue every unit in the way before you can unlock the Heavy Artillery, Brutes, and Bazooka Bears that are locked up deep behind the lines.

Whatever your strategy, here’s hoping it works for you on this 1v1 PVP map. For extra excitement, try playing Terracotta Armies with Fog of War activated, and maybe spice things up even more with a “no attacking until turn 15” house rule. By that point, who knows what your opponent will be cooking up!

Chaos Moon : 1CC Edition - RetroByTezla


SCORE ATTACK MODE

Chaos Moon is getting it's first update.
Chain together successive 'Enemy' kills without missing one to increase your score Chain/Multiplier.

Score Attack is a fun challenge and encourages the player to play strategically and make sure they pick out the enemies to kill before they go offscreen (resetting the multiplier).
This is harder than it sounds. Can you get to the end of the level without missing a single enemy and maximize the multiplier and your score?

HINT:
When we say enemies, we mean intelligent alien occupied crafts and gun emplacements, not inanimate objects like Asteroid or Mines.

This creates a specific new High-score leaderboard challenge.
Can you get to the top of the leaderboard occupying the coveted NUMBER 1 Spot.?

The challenge is laid down...
Get your bullet dodging and shot accuracy practice in ready for the release.
