Heroes of History: The Conquerors

- Conqueror proved a little more difficult than the last two, and that's why this video is...relatively shorter. There's not much to tell. Conqueror is a fabrication thematically because criminals could never be conscripted as knights, and even then, conscriptions were a rarity in the Middle Ages. So I had to take the reverse direction...of a bandit who became a mercenary. This wasn't as uncommon. Highwaymen who raided travelers and caravans sometimes became very good at killing and raiding to the point that feudal lords might hire them to cause some trouble for a neighboring territory. At that time, the words bandit and mercenary were almost synonyms.
I hope ya'll enjoy this dive into Conqueror and his history, and I urge ya'll to subscribe and to leave your suggestions below for the next hero we cover or for just what you'd like to see more of.
I feel like warden is the closest hero to a knight, but their is some things they said in the trailer which is interesting
I never felt that conq was a heavy hero when the game came out, shugoki was a huge monster with a massive club as a weapon and was quite literally "heavy* and the warlord was a huge thick dude covered in leather armour and used a large shield and sword, not to mention he could push you around and both of them are quite tall, but conq is short, doesn't have much armour and used one of the smaller shields
Well i like the conq but sometimes i wish they just take away the chain put the head on the stick tada mace and i belive it would still fit the conq theme
I always figured Conqs were basically bandits, brigands or other criminals who proved to be enough of a threat that they were either hired as mercenaries or were captured and slated for execution but instead handed a shitty weapon, a shield and some old beaten up armor and then sent into the meat grinder (since its implied they only did this when the faction was getting its shit pushed in, so the battles most fledgling Conqs would end up in would be ones where they are massively outmatched). Those who survived long enough might eventually grow in status and be given the rank of "Knight" which seems to be a much looser title in for honor.
Hm...well, considering how you mention them a lot in your past videos, maybe you could either do the Valkyrie and their connections to both Valkyries from mythology and historical Shield maidens, with more so on the shield maiden because this is mainly historical groups. My second and third options could be either the Tiandi or Nuxia since you discussed who the other 3 Wu Lin are based on in your analysis videos, so it would be pretty interesting to see who those two would likely be based on from Ancient Chinese culture/historical figures, even if their information is rather limited considering these guys don't have many trailers or even their own character trailers like the other heroes, which is a real shame that Ubisoft never made trailers for the first 4 Wu Lin heroes because I would have like to see what they would have said. Heck, maybe you could insert some stuff from Mulan into either of those two as supplementary evidence/information?
I would say do Warmommy but it looks like you already did in her analyses vid. So Do black prior pls and thank you
Sorry but that guys flail power analysis was rubbish, you can find a similar momentum transgerred from the body just in different ways, the other benefit is the fact that you don't even need to use your full body force to gather power from it. It's a completely impractical weapon but it's not weak by any means
Conqueror has been in my top few characters since day 1
Actually is their a reason why the conqueror is called conqueror they dont seem to conquer any land in the lore
I'm disagreeing with this guy's video, but I think one historical area he forgot to cover and consider on who the Conqueror is would probably be attributed to the First Crusade. During the First Crusade, Pope Urban II made where criminals would be forgiven for all their sins should they go fight and reclaim the Holy Land.
I've always disagreed with the hate that flails get. I own one, and you can do PLENTY of damage when you hit something with it. Maybe that has to do with the fact that the one I own isn't historically accurate in its construction (the head is lead encased in iron), but it has yet to let me down.
I always thought he was basically a footsoldier that got promoted but was too poor for a full knight's armour and weaponry. His shield is pretty much identical to the Knight minions, except with what looks like homemade spikes attached. A lot of his helmet options are like that too, with a lot of similar Kettle helmets to what the minions wear as well - except with weird armoured facemasks.
My conqueror is themed on a king and now that i see this damn😔
In feudal societies
You should do all the heroes im looking forward to seeing them all tbhh
Conqueror looks like an early 12th-13th century Knight however his back story of being a former prisoner turned soldier does happen historically even Knights and Lords did switch sides after capture, though he represents the typical Soldiers under the employment of Medieval armies (usually Proffessional Mercenaries, ironically the most notable contemprary of 12th-13th Century mercs are the Genoese Crossbowmen, though they did also excel in Melee combat.)
Conqueror was, is, and always will be my favorite hero in all of For Honor.
in short we are ex criminals turned minion who decided “fuck it, im killing this hero” and got promoted but still stayed poor (the armor is that of a poor man, a realism video was done on him by gogodani) the one handed flail was real and was used BUT was mostly on horseback and to say the flail doesn’t hit hard is complete bullshit, use one, ive only had a makeshift piece of shit using a rock, duct tape, and a carved stick, if that pos hits hard so will one made out of steel or iron.
Thanks for the video, I always was fascinated by Conq being criminal/serial killer. Do Shinobi next please.
It’s a shame your channel doesn’t have more views. You make some excellent content.
