You are all weak. You are all bleeders.
The Soldier

The Concheror is a secondary weapon for the Soldier. It is a secured, light brown, wooden box with a quad diamond shaped insignia, accompanied by a conch shell. A white, slightly tattered, vertical banner flag, with the same diamond insignia, is secured onto a pair of bamboo sticks. It appears when the banner call is played.

It functions in a similar manner to the Buff Banner and the Battalion's Backup, as they provide a specified effect for surrounding teammates. This banner charges through a combination of either dealing or receiving damage. While the buff is active, allies within 450 units are healed for 20% of the damage they deal.

The Concheror, released with the Shogun Pack, was awarded in Genuine quality to players who pre-purchased Total War: SHOGUN 2 on Steam before March 15, 2011. It is also available through crafting, item drops, or purchase from the Mann Co. Store.

People who crafted this weapon before March 15, 2011 had their weapon upgraded to a Vintage variation.

Note: The second blueprint simply makes a Soldier's secondary weapon; there is still a chance of getting the Buff Banner, Gunboats or Battalion's Backup instead. There will be a 25% chance of crafting this item using the second blueprint.

Update history

March 10, 2011 Patch

  • The item was added to the game.

March 15, 2011 Patch

  • Fixed the Concheror animations not always playing correctly for players on the Blue team.
  • The item became tradeable.
  • [Undocumented] The item was given a unique crafting recipe.

Bugs

  • The draw animation for this weapon is the same for the other bugles. As such, the Soldier moves his arm as if to twirl the conch.

Trivia

  • The "horn" sound effect is unique for this banner; however, it is the same for both RED and BLU teams.
  • The flag and the conch shell are styled after the Template:W and the Template:W respectively. The symbol on the flag serves to distinguish which army the troop belongs to while the conch shell is generally used as a signaling trumpet.
  • The flag's symbol is that of the Template:W, a famous line of samurai warlords from the Sengoku, or Warring States era. It may also be seen as a derivative of the Team Fortress 2 emblem.
  • Template:W (指物) were small banners fitted to the backs of Japanese soldiers from mid-15th to early 17th century, for identification in battle.
  • The name is a play on the words "conch," the weapon's substitute for a bugle, and "conqueror".
