Greetings! It’s been a week since release and a lot of people have been playing Conclave. As usual, we have carefully listened to feedback from our players, and as Doomdark explained last week, we’ve been looking into ways of improving the design and implementation of certain features. The two main areas of concern are Coalitions and Shattered Retreats, and we are currently testing the revised solutions. Read more about these changes in Conclave: The Near Future. On top of this, we’ve been looking to improve the experience in Conclave further. Here’s a selection of new features:

• A new favor use where a vassal can get pardoned by the liege.
• A new faction that can unite vassals against tyrannical rulers, change succession law and put the most liked (or the least disliked) vassal on the throne.
• Clarity, balancing and some new non-congenital traits in the Education system.
• More events related to favors.

• A next song button.
• An option to ignore the music scripts and play all songs randomly (Christmas carols all year long!)

Key features:

• Start a game at any point between 1066 and 1337 and play until 1453
  
• Pick a Christian lord and make sure his dynasty survives as you play a succession of his descendants through the ages
  
• Gain Prestige for every successive character you play, furthering the glory of your Dynasty
  
• Expand your feudal domain - and keep it from falling apart
  
• Unravel the plots of your courtiers and vassals, each with their own opinions and agendas
  
• Take up the Cross and fight the Moor, the Heathen and the Heretic.
  
• Defend against the onslaught of the Mongol Horde
  
• Struggle with the Pope for control of the bishops
  
• Relive the Middle Ages with up to 32 other players in a competitive multiplayer mode
