DEVELOPMENT BLOG: DECEMBER 2019
Greetings, Lords of Chaos!
As the Festive season approaches, we’d like to share with you some details of our development road map for 2020. But first, make sure you log in on Thursday the 19th of December, as we will be starting both the Winds of Winter Event and a special Dark Solstice Daily Reward Calendar!
Now let's talk about 2020.
Tier 5 Units
We’re bringing four new Tier 5 units to the game. As the followers of Khorne already have some tier 5 troops, we’re adding the following:
- Burning Chariots of Tzeentch
- Hellflayers of Slaanesh
- Beasts of Nurgle
- Skin Wolves
Keep Skins
Backed by popular demand, we’re adding a new feature due early next year that will allow players to change their Keep’s appearance on the world map! Four new skins are in development; each one will bring new bonuses to your Fortresses and let you show your devotion to one of the four gods of Chaos! Here are the concept art pieces for each of the new skins coming in early 2020.
New Foe Events
Steam Tanks will roll out across the lands of the Empire in a new Imperial Armour Foe event, dropping new equipment pieces and rare unit components.
The powerful Beastmen Centigors will be making their way across the Old World in a new Foe event, allowing players access to further new gear and materials.
New Warlord
The fourth greater Daemon will be joining the battle for the Old World next! Born of pure magic, a Lord of Change is a sorcerer beyond comparison. It blasts Tzeentch's foes with multicoloured bolts of mutating power!
Challenge Improvements
Our December update started looking at challenges in which players were finding it difficult to achieve the Gold tiers, and in some cases felt the rewards weren’t worthwhile. Well, we’ll be reviewing and improving both the requirements and rewards for many challenges in the coming months.
Empire Cities Challenge
We’re also looking at the Empire City Siege challenge. This is being reworked to be more engaging and rewarding for everyone, the rework will also featuring more reasons to fight and hold Landmarks, and we’ll be adding new item rewards to complete the Landmark item set.
Endgame Content
For our more powerful players, we have two new large pieces of content currently being worked on. The first is Region vs Region combat, where we will pit two regions against each other in an epic battle, featuring powerful rare rewards.
The second will be an entirely new region featuring a new faction of enemies which haven’t yet been seen in Chaos and Conquest. We’ll be sharing more on this shortly, but work is already underway and we’re excited to reveal more in the new year!
Warlord Improvements
We’ve been reviewing your feedback on Warlords - which ones are used, which ones are popular and which ones you feel could be more useful - and as a result, we’re planning to improve the lower rarity Warlords to make them more competitive. We also have two more Epic Warlords and our first Legendary Warlords coming to the game! Teasers will be shared on our Facebook page in the run up to these being released!
Thanks for a great year!
Finally, we'd like to thank all players who have jumped in and played the game this year. 2019 has been a very cool year for us and, with lots in store for the future, our journey has just begun! We hope you all have a very enjoyable winter and hope to see you all in the new year!
We’d also like to apologize for the problems with the PvP challenge that happened this weekend and we hope you accept these 1000 Warpstone in-game as compensation for this issue.
