Conquest Mode

**Conquest Mode** is the third major update of the game.

## Overview

Conquest Mode was added on October the 22nd of 2021 as a free update to the game. It allows the player to choose a clan to conquer Northgard in a series of up to 10 challenges. The update also added feature exclusives to Conquest Mode such as individual skins to each clans town hall, new enemy units, resources, special buildings, events, a new type of map, and achievements.

### Features of Conquest Mode

Conquest Mode added a few special features:

1. Conquest Mode can be played in singleplayer or in cooperation with another player versus AI.
2. For each Conquest Campaign there is a special map, showing the 11 challenges.
3. Out of those 11 challenges 3 are specific to each Clan and adapt to their specialties. As the other 8 challenges are taken from a pool of random challenges, each new campaign with the same clan will therefore be different.
4. The minimum number of challenges the player has to finish to complete the Conquest is 7.
5. Every Challenge has special rules, i.e. more aggressive Kobolds.
6. Each challenge grants Favors, which become permanent, once the Challenge is completed. For every Challenge there are 3 Favors to choose from.
7. There are clan specific favors and those taken randomly from a pool of non clan specific favors.
