##### Conquest for Turtle

-  **Between War and Peace**
     _Earn the trust of the Kobold King by increasing your reputation with him, while defending him from enemy attacks. His survival is key to your conquest_

-  **Sacred Lands**
     _Four powerful stones lie at the center of the land, each empowering a different path to victory: Domination, fame, trade, and wisdom. Control them wisely to gain the upper hand_

-  **War is not an option**
     _Fafnir demands regular offerings. The clan that offers the least will face his wrath. Be generous or be destroyed._

##### Conquest for Hyppogriff

-  **Monuments of the Ancients**
     _The gods watch from above, hungry for tribute. Through sacred forges, you must raise mighty monuments to earn their blessing. Only those who honor them shall survive the trial to come._

-  **Storm of Scales and Steel**
     _Deadly wyverns soar above, only the strongest armies will survive. Fortify your forces, dominate your foes, and claim victory through fire and steel._

-  **Walls Will Fall**
     _Lay siege to the enemy's fortress and break its walls. Defend your forces against relentless counterattacks and claim victory through strength and strategy._

##### Balancing

_Following your feedback, we’ve made some balance adjustments to the **Snake** and the **Horse**! We heard your concerns about the **Snake** having too much of an advantage, so some of its skills (**Rapacious** and **Cloaked**) have been scaled back to make fights fairer for opponents. As for the **Horse**, we’ve implemented community suggestions to give it **a stronger start** (and it also received a nice little surprise)!”!_
