The Tyrell’s house words are ‘Growing Strong’, and we can’t help but feel the same after 9 fantastic years with this community.
This month we celebrate by planting a couple new trees of our own- Research Trees! Additionally, we have several more cosmetics to give away and maybe even a bonus dragon will make an appearance.
Read on to learn more about all the content coming to Game of Thrones: Conquest this month!
New Research – Rouse the Maesters!
In August we announced that Research would be getting some love this year. Well we are pleased to announce the start of that is coming October 7th with launch of two new research trees:

If you missed our interview with designer McPivot, you can check it out here and learn more about how these new trees were designed differently, with some common player feedback in mind.

Anniversary Quality of Life Improvements
As is anniversary tradition, we’ve been working on some quality of life updates. Some of these you may have already started seeing in game, and others will roll out throughout the month:
- Better Sort Reinforcements: Allows you to better sort your Reinforcements within the Reinforcement UI.
- Bookmark Organization: This improvement groups all bookmarks together under Category Dropdowns in an effort to keep your bookmarks better organized.
- Recipe Favoriting: Allows you to favorite your recipes the same way you can favorite armories, gear, etc.
- Dragon Lore Counter: While in the Dragon Pit the RSS Display will be replaced with a Dragon Lore Counter within the header, similar to how it appears in the forge!
- Relic Indicator in Relic Recipes: Updates the recipe UI for recipes that reward heroes to display the player’s current relic count and star level which will better help players understand if they should invest in the recipe without spending time going back to the hero tower.
- March Pawn Panel Info Update: Keeps the Information button visible at all times on the March Pawn Panel, regardless of whether the selected pawn variant is locked or unlocked. Players can open shard-source information for other variants without having to select a locked pawn first.
- Filter Gear by Craftability: Adds an additional filter option for “craftable with materials on hand”, called “Craftable Now” to the game allowing for easier organization.
October Arc – Old Nan’s Tales

As another anniversary surprise we decided to release a bonus Hero this month. It’s an appropriately spooky one: Undead Viserion!
