My Warlord has not be able to sign up for any MKC tourement since august and We were not able to get 1 in September-November just wonder has anyone else had the same problem?
I wouldn't expect to see a COnquest event until the new year. As it stands there has been little to no discussion on Conquest 2.0. We just do Venue supported events for our Conquest tournies or use the Unrestricted events when they're around.
jgklaw: Could you post where you heard this from? I heard the same thing from some guys at DragonCon but some people here won't beleive anything unless they get it from the mouth of God or something.
It seems to me that Conquest 2.0 rules wouldn't be too hard to come up with. Objectives can work in Conquest they just need to be bigger :)
Unless things have changed since Gen-Con the idea is that there will not be seperate rules as such, it will be Mageknight on a bigger scale, although I'm sure that the feedback since the release of 2 will have caused some new thoughts.
one of the players (who is my MWDA battlemaster) where I play went to WWT and said that it was decided to nerf Conquest because 2.0 rules work for larger MK battles. take that with a grain of salt because I was not able to attend WWT this year (even though it was only like 20 minutes away *grumble*) so I did not hear it myself, just from my battlemaster.

I'm almost certain that was the original plan (around GenCon or slightly before), but shortly thereafter it was decided 2.0 rules fall apart over 500 pts.
To tell the truth, the only issue I have at that level is the gazillion actions make the game unplayable. If all they do is reduce the actions to 1 per 400 pts. and maybe a few tweaks to adjust to this (the old Conquest command rule and actions rules for Titans and Multi-dials) I would be fine with it. It might also be interesting if they added a couple of extra objective tokens, but I'm not sure.
Im sure conquest will return, just be patient and let wizkids fix the rules about actions and whether or not to use objective tokens or add any other new things.
Conquest is going to be tough to run with the current 2.0 rules.
First off the objective system as is will not work without modifications to either the size or number of objective tokens
or to just be rid of the objectives for conquest games altogether( this would be my preference ). I can just see a player coming with 400 weak imps or gob volunteers and covering 2 of the 3 objectives and just waiting for the game to end.
As the moderator stated the game breaks down in the 500 point range( for many reasons inc. multiple surge kills, massive numbers of * imps or * gob volunteers ect. swarming objectives and holding them for 50 minutes).
Surging will just destroy titans and multi dials when you have large numbers of actions due to command rolls with commanders. What about Revenent ? can you imagine the fun with 5 to 10 rev figures, and how about leadership figures as well? Things will get interesting to say the least.
I ran and played in a 3000 point event a few weeks back allowing 2.0 figures and abilities including faction abilities but no speed proficiencies were allowed. We played with 1.0 conquest rules otherwise including special abilities. Command was still a killer but leadership, hex, revenent, and bombard were killers as well. I am going to run one in jan with speed proficiencies allowed as well and it should be fun. Titans/Multis may not like when someone hits a large number of command rolls as the surge attacks will be brutal on them. Maybe in feb I will run one based entirely on the 2.0 ruleset including relics and domains. We will not use objectives so things should be fine as far as the nightmare scenario of 400 imps on one battlefield. In the last conquest battle I based actions on the same 400 point system which worked fine. I really prefer the larger scale battles and I hope a solution is found so all of us can have some sanctioned conquest events and new conquest LE prizes. Perhaps there will be some dark riders conquest LE figures as prizes to kick it off in a few months or better yet how about a new Titan LE of DBOC or the Celestial. Would that be great or what? I really hope things get worked out.
