- Free Update Delayed by COVID-19 - 13 September 2021
The bad news is our main dev has been out for over three weeks with COVID-19. The good news is he's doing much better, and we have a free update for Conqueror 940 AD coming in October. Originally, the update was planned for August. We are continuing to support Conqueror 940 AD, but the health of our team is our number one priority. The plans for our upcoming update include new questlines involving the princesses, some significant audiovisual enhancements, and bug fixes. Stay tuned for more!
- v1.0.8 Research Patch - July 30, 2021 - 29 July 2021
Overhaul: We changed the formula for Food, Wood, Stone, and Iron income to be more accurate and make more sense in the resource increases. Fixed: Dialogue where 300 stone was taken from a player without that much stone. Fixed: Making a kingdom a vassal while they are sending troops to attack you no longer locks up the game. Fixed: Club bottom price having an extra 0. Changed: The Sign Post originally reported population incorrectly. Also, buffed research results from 10% to 25%. Fixed: Building the wood house no longer breaks end-turn button. Fixed: The Charm skill affects the speed of courting a lady just like kingdom relations now. Changed: Altered BTR Text for tournaments to be clearer. Note!: The update is currently PC only. Mac build is coming soon.
- v1.0.7 Kingdom Patch - July 23, 2021 - 23 July 2021
Fixed: Player will no longer get repeatedly attacked by the same kingdom every turn. Fixed: Player getting attacked inconsistently. Fixed: Player getting blindsided by kingdom attacks. Updated: Updated dialogue to better reflect what is happening. Updated: If player has no troops, kingdoms will now raid rather than pillage, making the player lose 25% of their resources rather than 100%. Updated: Player no longer gets attacked by kingdoms that are a little unhappy. Now they are more likely to attack if they truly do not like you. More than 5 skulls. Updated: Cleaned up grammar/spelling/inaccuracies issues with researches and building text. Note!: The update is currently PC only. Mac build is coming soon.

- Meet Nick Gallo, Our Lead Developer - 9 March 2021
Hello fellow gamers! I’m Nick, the Lead Developer for Combat Wombat Studios. I’ve been a fan of video games since even before console games really took off. Some of the first games I played were arcade games like Pole Position and Paperboy. Soon, Nintendo came out with NES games like Duck Hunt, Mario Bros., Zelda, and later, Street Fighter II for Super Nintendo. From then on, I couldn’t help myself in thinking of new game ideas or how to make existing game concepts better. By nature, I’m an idea person that values the know-how to make it happen. When I was young and was asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, it was a bio-mechanical engineer at the time. I ended up getting a degree in mechanical engineering and worked in that field for some time. Throughout this time, I saw mobile gaming taking off and opening this huge new market for the gaming industry. I liked the idea of being abl…
- Open Season on Bugs! The Bug Bounty Hunt Continues - 5 March 2021
Hello, Wombat Army! Our first Bug Bounty Hunt was a success! We squished so many bugs we had to get an exterminator license. (Extra special thanks to SirCrown and Crosszeallot!)

- 3/3/2021 Regular Update & Bug Fixes - 5 March 2021
3/3/2021 Regular Update & Bug Fixes We wanted to help new players get acclimated so have added a tutorial. We also added the ability to use troops to defend against raids. Defensive buildings matter to prevent raids but if it happens, use your troops to hold them off. Finally, We did a full rebalance with all researches and building costs. This was to make things less tedious in late game, and a faster pace in the early game. NEW CONTENT: * You can now choose to defend against raids with your troops...or not. * Added a Tutorial * Added Raided resource sounds BUG FIXES: * Fixed Importing multiple resources were only giving the player the first one (Thanks Nox Solus) * Changed: Town and Keep Walls, gatehouses, and towers updated * Fixed: Research and Building Reduction researches were not reflecting properly * Fixed: Missing completed sound on BTR for trade * Fixed: Population not adding…
- Meet Michael Wright, Our Musician and Audio Engineer - 2 March 2021
Good day! I am Michael Wright, and I did the music and sound for Conqueror 940 AD. It was a great opportunity to live the dream of a younger me. I would leave my NES and Gameboy running so that I could have the music playing in my room and wonder what it would be like to be able to write music like that. Fast forward a little to the age of the internet. I stumbled upon OCRemix.org and my life was changed. I gotta give a shout out and thank you to the amazing Ben Briggs for all the awesome remixes from him that I’ve enjoyed over the years. Now my iPod was full of video game music while everyone else in high school was listening to… not… that. Go a little further, and I started studying music in college. I had lots of performing and composing experience behind me, and I still found myself turning up the music when I entered a Pokémon center or encountered a random battle in Final Fantasy…
