There are 6 paths available in Conquest! Unless you choose a liege, you will start as a Fighter.
|
Fighter - The Path of CombatThere, upon the highest parapet of my castle, I shielded my eyes from the wind. I could only vaguely make out my opponent but the shambling forms betrayed him. Beside me my scout rather slowly came to the same conclusion. "M'Lord, it's the...vampire!" I only smiled. As I turned to descend the hard stone staircase I could see the shock on his face. In his eyes I saw the question which he would not speak: "How can you smile, attacked by that?!?". It only made me smile more. For he didn't know the tricks I had up my sleeve.

Fighters are the base class in Conquest and the only class allowed to class change. Fighter Keeps can support 500 troops each. Fighters are bound by honor, which can be checked by visiting the church. Fighter troops gain bonuses as you gain levels. Additionally, every Season your call-to-arms will grant you additional troops.
Kings can also call a blockade of the entire continent, which prevents ships from arriving or leaving. This effect lasts for one hour.

Barbarian - The Path of LawlessnessCloser. Closer. The thundering of our hooves competed only with the slow creaking of the massive city gates. We pushed our horses to doom and they pushed that monolith door to save themselves. My stomach sank as we hit the pit and rode up the ramp to the gates. There was a triumphant crash as we ran through the unclosed gates, scattering the soldiers before us, some of our number crunching violently against the gate itself. We routed them before us, and reveled as the city folk fled this way and that, like chickens to a slaughter, all the while screaming my name. The proud city was mine for the taking.

Barbarians are lawless raiders, not bound by any honor code. Barbarians can loot cities to steal from them, which may cause the city officials to lock the gates. Barbarians can also besiege a city to force the gates back open. Barbarian Outposts can support 600 troops each. Barbarians gain reinforcements every defense and every attack once they reach level 3. They can also cause their troops to enter a range, which grants a bonus to attack but a penalty to defense.
Warlords can unleash the barbarian hordes on a continent, which grants reinforcements for every attack. This effect lasts for one hour.

Mage - The Path of MagicFor many days straight my master and I worked. I lost track of the days. Outside my small observation window I saw the sun and moon pass by, the constellations slowly drift. And still he worked, inscribing the Sacred Circle of Lune, speaking incantations of the old gods. Finally, tired and bleeding from his runic scars, he reached out to Dream itself and spoke the True Name of his foe. Ribbons of blue vapor streamed about him and throughout the room. My master's task accomplished at last, he retired to his chambers while I watched thick plumes of smoke engulf a kingdom far away...

Mages can cast powerful spells to enhance their armies or wreak havoc on the enemy. Spells require magical components, which can be found by questing or bought from magic shops. Mage Towers can support 250 troops each.
Wizards can invoke extra Seasons.

Cleric - The Path of RighteousnessEven the sunrise could not wash away the sorrow in my heart, as I looked outside of abbey window. Miraculously, some of the houses in the village below were still standing. Much has been lost in the invasion. Even now the abbey's courtyard is full of frightened people, who sought refuge here when the invaders came with their hateful armies, crushing all in their path. The castle had fallen at sundown. Those who could make it to the abbey did, others were cut down as they fled. With the castle gone, the village in ruins, the people have sought the shelter of these hallowed walls. FIAT VOLUNTAS TUA.

Clerics specialize in healing and protection, but have several offensive commands at their disposal. Cleric Temples can support 400 troops each. Clerics can bless themselves or others to grant a temporary boost in battles. They can also increase the honor of users through grace. They can provide sanctuary for a player by restoring protection and resurrect fallen troops. They can spy on others through divination and destroy undead troops. Clerics can also call a crusade against another player, which summons other players to attack them. And they can excommunicate players and force them to become a Barbarian. Clerics tithe gold every HK.
Clerics can use divine intervention to restore attacks and grant movement points for every player on the continent of the same faction. Clerics can seek the true name of the vampire and use that to permanently slay the creature.

Ranger - The Path of NatureAs I looked out across my armies, I could not believe my eyes. The light of the sun was blotted by a thickness of hawks and owls, all screeching. In the darkness I could only just make out the forms of my soldiers, vainly fighting against the strangest array of beasts I had ever come across. Mighty stags ran down my cavalry. Raging bears tore their way through my ranks. As I raised my hand to give an order, a lynx came out of nowhere and bit me so severely, I thought I might die from the loss of blood alone. I knew then that I would not have my chance for vengeance until at least the Spring. Cursing the Forest Gods under my breath I turned my army around and went home.
|
Rangers are guardians of the forests of the realm. Ranger Forts support 400 troops each. Rangers can grant their troops defensive bonuses and seek out the Vampire. They can also change the weather and tend the fields of others to grant them a bonus to food. Rangers can use vision to spy on others and summon packs of animals to attack others. Like Clerics, Rangers tithe gold each HK.
Rangers can call a ceasefire on the continent, preventing attacks for one hour.

Vampire - The Path of DarknessI clutched the Holy of Holies. The Chalice of Our Savior. It seemed so impotent now, it's divine glow overshadowed by the rolling clouds which surrounded this, my last castle. Either it had let me down, or me it. I beat my legs to shake off the rats, the cat-sized rats, which scurried all about the floor. Though I tried so hard not to hear, outside the cries of my faithful warriors rose above the thunder. And then there was laughter. In seconds it was over, Skeletal Warriors and... things... moving about the room with blinding speed, severing limbs and eating flesh. And in a rush of heat and blood I was reborn.
|
Vampires are a plague upon the realm of Conquest! There can be only one Master, but the Vampire can create children. Vampires cannot be slain by normal means; if killed in battle, the creature will be reborn. Only a Cleric can permanently destroy a Vampire. Vampire Mausoleums support 300 troops each.
When Vampires attack they receive a random disguise and always fight with undead reinforcements. Undead troops cost no food and can be animated from the cemetery. Vampires have a chance to level drain their victims and can summon a pestilence on others. They can also charm other players into doing their bidding.
Vampires can cast a dark ritual over an entire continent, cursing every player.
Note: you can be killed attempting to become the master Vampire!
