The Conquerors Blog - July 2020
Welcome to the Conquerors Blog! It’s been an eventful July so far, so let’s break down everything that has happened in the community this month! We will update you on The Conquering Games, the latest contests in the community, the top suggestions for this month, we’ll include some smaller events that must be highlighted, and we will talk about a future update for the navy. There will also be a special Q&A with BrokenBone with three questions picked by community members like yourself! Let’s begin with the news from The Conquering Games.

News from The Conquering Games!
In the latest 1v1 mixed bracket this month, something unexpected happened. TheRockDood, also known as Rock, took the L from Driixiz_Gameuse, also known as simply Driix, in a 60 minute battle on Mexico. The end of the 1v1 loser’s bracket followed, with Swagging_Melons winning against Intriculant in a 35-minute fight on France.

For the first time in so long, the 1v1 bracket was able to be split into Juggernaut and Scout divisions, just like the 2v2 and team brackets. There is currently no clear winner, but many people are expecting Rock to win, just like he has done many times before.

In the 2v2 scout division bracket, Daquarius and Quan forfeit against Cheese over discord, leaving a quick but uneventful ending to the bracket. Over in the 2v2 juggernaut division, Phantom Eye won against fealfie in a  short 30-minute fight on Russia.

Finally, our team's mixed division bracket ended with Command Crushers crushing the NAF in a long battle on Desert vs Grass 1,  and our team's losers’ bracket has yet to end.

Over in clans, 2 new competitors have arrived: The NTBD and Sleeping Knights. Time will tell how they hold up, but The United Conquerors are currently dominating the competition.

Community Events & Contest
This month, The Conquering Games held a month-long art contest for a possible new server icon. Sadly, none have made it as a new icon, but let’s take a look at the amazing work people have done. In first place, we have CrazyCrafter27Gaming, with their creation

In second place, we have Anti_Avatar, with their creation And lastly, we have third place, with 54765OFFICERSTEVE1 and his creation, ​​​​​​

Over in the main server, there were 2 contests this month. The first one that ended was the story contest, with 1st, 2nd, and third place being omghi#6733, Ducktaster#8620, and [KOA]Luckanio 2^6#6969, respectively. The second one was a meme contest and it will be ending on the 27th of July, Have some funny memes and want to enter them into the contest? Join The Conquerors 3 Discord! 

Top Suggestions this month!
This month, we had some amazing suggestions but here are our top 3 suggestions submitted by community members!
 * By: Petar#9014 Ingame pins/badges for participating in discord events. Players would have the freedom to show which pins to show or hide.
 * By: Imitatsiya#3217 Make super crystals easier to see on lower graphics. Suggestion: Change super crystal color to a color like teal.
 * By: Rigo#1572 Make Galactic Wars Stealth Bomber silent. The skin currently has a sound when it shoots, nullifying its ability to be stealthy.

Naval Update Preview!
'''The navy has always needed an update. Gunboats have so much health for their low cost and easy spammability, requiring only 2 to take down an entire battleship. Battleships and aircraft carriers have infamously been underpowered, being not worth the price for its stats. The naval update has been announced to be coming out on the 24th of July! For our Conquerors Blog & Newsletter readers we have an exclusive as to what some of the stat changes will be provided by the game staff team!''' **Naval Unit Price Changes**

'''Battleship - $160 -> $125 Submarine - $150 -> $110 Destroyer - $120 -> $90 Gunboat - Price $75 -> $60 Watermine- Price $30 -> $20''' The above stats changes and way more are confirmed to be coming this Friday, July 24th 2020 for the Naval Update! Wanna get more previews on what stats and get information on other game news? Join The Conquerors 3 Discord where you can get the latest information on what’s to come to the game! discord.gg/tc3 

'''Along with the stat changes, the wiki stats will be updated after the update has been released as soon as possible. ​​​​'''
