General FAQ

Here is a general page of the questions we are answering quite regularly. Also a bit from the steam FAQ post.

## General

Conquest is a story-driven roguelike game.
Note from the Developer AR-Berlin:
"If you wishlisted this game sometime in 2020 or weren't here often you might have seen this game being called just Tainted Grail. That's because, back then, we wanted this game to be an RPG game (based on the board game called The Fall of Avalon) but with an additional mode: a randomized boss rush.Over time, this boss rush mode kept growing – and at some point, it became a huge, full game of its own. That's what you see now as Tainted Grail: Conquest.Around the time we launched in Early Access we realized that we won't be able to work on two games at the same time: the development of Conquest kept breaking the campaign, and vice versa.Also, we learned that the campaign is just a too ambitious project for us at the time. We needed time to work on our technology and tools, and on plenty of different things. This meant that we decided to focus on Conquest because it was, well, further into development than the game's campaign."

Other games afiliated to Awaken Realms are:
* Tainted Grail: Fall of Avalon - Developed by Awaken Realms Digital - Development pending after Conquest release.
* Nemesis: Distress - Developed by Awaken Realms Digital & Ovid Works - Release date TBD
* No Place Like Home - Developed by Chicken Launcher (Task force afiliated to AR) and published by Realms Distribution - Released to Early access December 23. 2020, scheduled for 1.0 release in Q1 2022.

The OST is also available on Youtube or Spotify\*.
\* - Does not include licensed Danheim tracks.

If you have played the board game (or play it after Conquest) you may run into similar flavor text passages and art. But nothing that is gameplay relevant for either.

## Gameplay

There are instances where savegames may corrupt or even revert to an earlier state. This might be due to difficulties with the steam cloud save option.

Alternatively, it is possible to access the Leaderboard via the Steam Community Hub here.
Note that Steam, GoG and Gamepass all use seperate leaderboards, as they use the platform specific leaderboard systems.

Summoner - Sentinel - Pathfinder - BloodMage - Zealot - Berserker - Necromancer - Apostate

On GoG:

On Microsoft GamePass:
It's all a great mystery. But back-ups of the savegames can be found in

```

AppData may be a hidden folder. To see hidden folders, click view at the top, check "Hidden Items" under the show/hide section [Win10].

If your permanent save game truly is gone or corrupted, you can check your SteamCloud for older savegames! If you are lucky, it will have a backup!

Note, that this is no game with a AAA budget - you cannot expect an indie studio to put just as much budget into optimization as big companies like CDPR, bethesda, etc. - just because your pc runs the Witcher 3 on ultra doesnt mean that this game should run smoother!
