If you make it past the bots the game is so fun! but its a long slog!
Thanks for watching
i have played CB for 2000 hours F2P and it has been fun.The grind is real but it makes unlocking a new unit even more fun
I've been playing this game since season 6, I've never spent any money and I still enjoy it
Super grindy and at times frustrating. The gap between new and old players has only grown larger with the introduction of yet more late-game stuff you need to grind for (mastery & doctrine alchemy systems). As a returning player myself, it sucks seeing my units get absolutely torn to shreds by equivalent units with full mastery & full epic doctrine sets.
tbh it might be funner for you to start a new character as to get certain units maxed quicker
@@thetrav2100 Nah I'm returning, not new. Played a decent amount already, grabbed mace bois with honour when I came back and got their scrolls. Got a bunch of gold units too I wouldn't wanna lose
you wont lose then tho, u can have more then one character @@GERdeathstar
I also came back to the game this season with all my 'max' level 18 and 19 purple units suddenly not being max level anymore
As a *primarily* free-to-play player (I recently started buying the battle pass, but that's it), the main thing I've found that free-players are somewhat limited in getting are the attires. Without spending sovereigns, it's very difficult to get some of the seasonal and event attires. You don't get nearly enough gold and silver keys or blades to unlock everything.
tbh,i dont really care about the attires,its just cosmetic,doesnt really affect gameplay
@@spit782Agreed. I don't really care that much either; but it sucks when a really cool attire comes out that you'd like to get, but you can't simply because you're unlucky with the RNG and gold and silver keys, or you don't have enough blades.
This is how they make money. Make the vanilla skins basic and sell the cool skins for real money
Wasn't true back then. You could wait 2 seasons and easily afford the attire. That's how I got like 3 legendary attire sets. I've settled on my antique odin set that I'll never swap out.
It's definitely doable as a F2P player, but it does depend on whether or not you want to be competitive in territory wars. I was in a semi-serious house for 3 seasons and the grind felt very real trying to keep an edge over other houses. This was kind of the only time I felt the urge to splurge a bit in the cash shop. If you skip territory wars and just play sieges, you can have endless hours of fun with a handful of units and no need to grind anything you don't want to.
I'm lvl 1000+ but on the rare occasion get a bot match. In those, they do exactly what you're asking. It splits the team half bots & half players. Seems silly to not implement it at low levels.
The best part of starting fresh with previous knowledge; obtaining any desired purple seasonal unit with some ease before level 100 :D
I only play FTP, no problems, got myself unlocked all orange units, all heraldic units, and about 1/3 of the season units. Now I rank in the first 25% constantly with ease, and I also got myself some bits and pieces of attires, from various events, boxes and so on (not sure how lol), enough for about 3-4 suits, quite decent.
Have to try out the new beginner tutorial to see how it goes (not the path to war, just the beginning of the game), but tbh, I reeeaally miss the original tutorial with the mercenary camp we had, that had animations with archers, pikes and shields, you got feeling you were a quite powerful mercenary general for hire that would latter join one of the available nations (but that was like season 3 ou 4 if I'm not mistaken 🤣🤣)
same i miss that too, i started in season 1 and i loved the tutorial back then
As a F2P player, its possible, still a fun game. But Paying to progress faster is pay to win, especially when the grind is real for f2p.
I disagree. Depending upon your skill level. as F2P, you can unlock 2-3 season's unit in 1 Season. And even if you don't unlock any seasonal units, you can still use Unit Tree's units to play. They wont be like current S tier meta units but they absolutely will be A tier meta.
Disagree, i play mostly F2P and i have every season unit unlocked (and mostly max level with very good doctrines)only the t4 unit from this season is missing and i only buy the season pass each season. I dont play that much maybe 1h a day and 2 on weekend, so yeah there is no real pay to win.
its true in some old season. when some seasonal units can destroy everything you grinde for.
@@DiTian9045 so you do agree, you're forced to play subpar (in your own words, A tier at best) if you don't "pay to progress". That is until you spend the whole season to unlock, level up and doctrine meta units just to get the meta shifted on the next season...
@@m.koller7639 you're paying, that's not what f2p means. Also, considering how lancelot and perceval are S tier, this comment aged like milk
Great content, i'm a f2p player and it's completely doable.
started pre-season took a LONG break then i was looking around my steam and saw conq so i redownloaded it and it was like season 7 so i was so suprised that it had seasons
You know, I've played on and off for years . This is honestly a great game to ease yourself back into, and they really do (even tho it is part of the strategy. I know) at least try to make it worth your money with every challenge completed making buying that seasonal unit just a tad bit more cheaper, to even where you could grind for it to be less then 50 sovereign to get the bs ones out of the way, and they're extremely good at compensation events also for the free players. giving free challenge passes.. I know it's a brutal grind and I have grinded all season for the new Knight fall units, but I've enjoyed it on and off a few matches every day at least, maybe 10 at most
Sir Plum good vid as always!
Glad you enjoyed it
Plum can you make a video on how to improve the new player experience? This game desperately needs new players but with a onboarding like this no wonder they dont stick around!
Yeah sure can, was thinking about doing it after this experience, was making these videos to see if you can Compete if your free to play, ended up finding out why new players don't stick around. It's really sad because, it's such a good game when it's Competitive
What the actual fck! XD I am from Hungary and I just came back to the game after a 2year break like last week. I started watching videos of CQ and as you see I comment here, I also watch yours... So...: 28:53 , yes we see LordOfHungary, but thats not the exciting here...4th from the bottom, Finghimnusz is FartHymn translated from HUN to ENG XD
I just started a week ago, and it seems that players are now equally mixed on teams with bots. At least on the NA server
@29:54 conqueror's blade's new player experience isn't even the main issue I would say. Its that its so chuck full of systems that staying on top of the power grind is like a bloody full time job.
As a completely new player currently. I dont exactly know if its a clientside issue or a server issue but i keep constantily not being able to join servers. or if im lucky enough and then find a lobby to play in the server for me just...idduno how exactly to describe it but my experience is that i cant move myself. nor my units around. basically just frozen in place.
So Mr Plum I have a question why they don’t give returned players epic mount? I myself have rare mount And I need to do 5 star and 100 BP to get 1 horse with spirit doc as my epic horse and I’m not sure I can even get more or not. It’s not fair in my look cause With rare horse All my cav are faster than me 😂😂
Best game ever !! 2500 hours in game :)
you spend 2 weeks as an F2P player, and then this game becomes your second job, you have to run the deadline
I dont know but.. as i startest the Game.. i Had to fought again high Rank Players and Not against Bots ... A lot of looses before hitting lvl 50 :D but atm (lvl 350) Sometimes, i got Bots and enemys in both Teams. So they updated it
I spent much money on this game, but only to skins, and grind was almost f2p (only 1 unit bought)
As a player who started 3 years ago and started grinding the season units from season 2 i only reached season 6 this year
dont think thats the best idea since getting the actual season units is easier when it ongoing, you would be better of getting the season units and then when u have few weeks left grind for the other seasons
@@hazard9578 well yes it is a good idea but i am catching up now im season 10 now so im close
The game doesn't take very long to progress, the only real grind is seasonal stuff, and even then it's not the most amazing stuff save a few select units. Literally all the that you have to do is play the game. The hardest thing to get that you probably will really want is epic schematic gear though. In all my time playing, I've only gotten 3 epic schematics, which leaves me two short of my desired armor and weapon set, however, there is always 2 for sale in the seasonal envoy store, that can be obtained is you are really devoted.
"if you are really devoted" lands too short into this... Crafting and reforging is entirely RNG, and it highly depends on how much time you spend farming daily missions, weekly, season store, login rewards and so on... it's not as easy as bying horse equipment and salvaging for materials... you will end up farming for months just to get enough schematics and reforging if not years just to get a good weapon and at least competitive leadership armor... And that's just for your character, Current meta is avalon, so, if you didn't spend the past weeks farming avalon, good luck trying to beat lancelots or percevals with tech tree units (which, the only reasonable choices are imp pike and maa and these don't beat lancelot). But that's the least of concerns considering how S tier is mainly seasonal units (zwei, onna, lancelot, kriegs, yanyue, orochi). Now how about doctrines? RNG, unless, again, you spend all your time farming for components to see if you get some good tier 5. or just spend money on season pass and premium and get everything you need in just a couple months instead of LITERALLY YEARS for free...
uhh so I'm a level 73 right now and I haven't a clue what to expect now.
is there any good cav you can focus on as a beginner f2p? and what weapong goes with cav?
Yeah dagger axe lancers are really good 👍 and following that winged hussars
@@Plumsion thank you🙏
Es decir, como yo 😂
can u tell how do i finish quest path of training 1?
Hahahahha, Plum has no chill. He went straight for the path of revenge when a possible new players just tried arties for the first time
No body shoots my mace Sargents 🤣
i feel your boredom my friend
I only played free to play to unlock all hounour tech tree, then seasonal units appear is just pain and takes to much of my time. So pay too win time.
Hey does anyone know if the noble blood 2 doctrine stacks with the Noble blood 1 doctrine
It’s pay to progress faster - unless you’re paying for the current season, which is always seemingly OP for a period of time
I noped out the moment I saw the basic attack was button smashy. I feel like Bannerlords directional combat has spoiled me.
How did u change the color of your units?
Setting, go to game, scroll down to change unit colours
Im lvl 150 and youve unlocked a lot more in this video then I have. I dont want to restart because Ive progressed and I dont get access to the new content. for me to get the mace sargents I need 10k honor and I dont want to spend that.
Video is kinda old now, they have done more stuff to the new player Experience. so may have to make a new one
Well to answer your question on why new players keep playing against bots, they don't, they quit the tower defense simulator. And how long did it take you to end it all? xD
NEED NEW SERVERS TO NEW PLEARS
"pet controling" big nope
I played without sovregins for 2 years, it was fun because of the friends who came together who didn't use sovregins as well, About getting only bots based on game play with my alt accounts real player matches start after level 100.
I wouldnt say pay to win more so pay to prgress. You can pay for units and pay for levels and doctrines but it boils dow to stratgegy. Ive seen f2p destroy whales just by literally strategizing better. Focusong on a few units is the best bet. I spend money on it ever year and buy quite a bit but most of the time i grind sp its half and half for me. Unloxkong units is very fun but leveling os very very grindy
I stopped playing because there were so much bot fights. Back when I last played they did separate the players 2v2, 2v3, 3v3... it was still terrible as your bots sucked, and if the other side players did it right... you cant do anything (vise versa) because the opposing bots still had units.
Hello I'm losing my mind also, playing against bots Do you know at what level it stops?
i hear a Rumour, you start getting split bots and hero games at level 100 but cannot confirm this. but at level 200 i know you enter full player games
You know how to fix the connection lost then infinite loading bug?
Yeah seems good!
They should also remove the level system as well. it doesn't feel good for new player to go against level 60+ and get killed just because the other player is higher level with more HP and damge.
to lvl 200 you play with bots so ez to get 2x purple sezon units
2 minutes after character creation you have me interested. First came across a lazy peon video... No idea what's going on for the first 5 minutes.... And he was sponsored.
is there PVE game mode? I only want to play for PVE.
Yeah there is but it's not very fun.
Goddamn now it's up to level 200 and with all players on 1 team? I still know hitting level 60 and getting thrown in player matches was hard but atleast but It also was pretty fun sure my scores were awful but it was a great watch and getting better was fun. Then they changed it to level 100 which is somewhat understandable but quite a boring solution. And now this? Wtf hahaha seriously why would you play against bots for this long? Instead give people a seasonal unit of choice or something like that or 2 and keep it at 100 reward players instead of torture them. But it wouldn't be booming games of they didn't torture their player base in every development post they make.
This game is death for new players. I almost with 9 min for q match. I prefer play vs bots to farm some points. But wait 9 mins is insane. I miss the bots. When you up to 105 lvl you find other players and they have better units and better skills experience.
This seems like a terrible new player experience. How do they expect to attract a new playerbase?
How is this terrible? They throwing free stuff at you left and right.Not even gonna compare how it was when i started in season 1.
@@kenbean75 The man played bot games for his first 15+hours. Imagine being used to sallying on bots every game and then being thrown into a real match. Plum got so bored he quit playing before the 24 hour mark because it was so repetitive and boring.
At the end slow motion Wasted
There is any other game like this, but for a low shit Pc? lol
im 1 1/2 Season Unlock all unit = No Life :V
haha the feeling of f2p will never faded away from me. played a lot of games and all f2p. f2p brothers haha
I wish they would fix the bot thing... I literally can't get anyone else to play this game for the same reason. Like why not just play League of legends with them instead of them spending literally 40 hrs playing against bots.
Yeah in my first time playing I was having fun fighting bots feeling on top of the world and then it all changed when I reached the like level cap or whatever and got in an all player match and got stomped by the brand new at the time Varangian guard those real heavy infantry and winged hussars. I would far prefer being able to ease into it and not be thrown from militia using AI to legendary veterans you know?
Isc
no ptw
How the fcck did you make camera zoom so far? R u cheating? Cinematic camera off trick does not work.
Just scroll wheel back
Lol dont assumed people playing cheat so early. Try it out 1st. Its only for melee weapon and not for range weapon.
@@cheapskateangkol9371 Melee weapon and I can see only my ass. Scroll on mouse works only on world map.
@@Plumsion oh sht. Actually u need scroll a LOT to zoom out. What a hell?
I am perfectly fine spending 5 bucks to skip: "Win 5 free battles" to unlock Falconetti Gunners when no one fucking plays free battles lmao. Not to mention that it's only available for a few days a week at specific times? Absolutely shitty system but it worked in worming out 5 bucks out of my pocket.
They really need to add bots to free battles its ridiculous I have spent 2 hours in queue :( I wouldn't even mind free battles is supposed to be a low stacks casual mode!
as a new player i would say when u got the '' meta troup u r not in time cause the meta is gone '' so as new player the suggestion is uninstall this garbage game
is this game still alive?
Yeah it still lives 😄
My favourite part is when he played the game
It would be fun if the developers would fix the servers and would balance it....but they don't! never! I spent 7000 hours until now and I can honestly say this game is not fun and it's just getting worse and worse
Didn't spend 1 euro innit have plus 3000 hours and I win against most players
