Conqueror’s Blade will feature two new four-star units – the Eagle Warrior and the Jaguar Warrior. Both use mechanics [Ритуальной войны]allowing you to not only kill your opponents, but also capture them to replenish your own troops.
The Eagle Warrior is associated with Huitzilopochtli, the god of the sun and war, emphasizing mobility. They quickly close the distance, pursue the retreating enemy, and use deceleration to prevent the enemy from calmly withdrawing from the battle. They became particularly dangerous to dispersed troops trying to change position or move away from the main force.
The Jaguar warriors dedicated to Tezcatlipoca preferred to solve problems at short range. They are armed with obsidian bladed Macuahuitls that can penetrate enemy defenses and slowly drain them of their blood. This isn’t the case when the enemy goes down after a stunning blow – instead, Jaguar turns the fight into a slow and extremely unpleasant ordeal.
Therefore, the two new units assume different roles but have the same mechanism for capturing prisoners. The Eagle is better suited for chasing and controlling moving targets, while the Jaguar is better suited for protracted battles on the front lines. The developers promise to tell you more about their abilities and doctrines in the near future.
