In Conqueror’s Blade, the Bagpipers will carry on this rich history of political symbolism, intimidation, and uplifting performance.

While some may think of bagpipes as an instrument of torture due to their loud and sometimes grating blares, they certainly intimidate enemy forces and were carried and played by ancient Scottish clans of old to do just that. Pipers were even stationed at the Battle of Waterloo as part of the 79th (Cameron Highlanders) Regiment of Foot, and their music reinforced the resolve of the regiments.

To Scottish armies of old, bagpipes were more than just an instrument-they were a political symbol, marching their men into harm’s way to a glorious melody in the pursuit of freedom. Historically, the bagpipes were so feared as a “weapon of war” that they were classified as such until as recently as 1996. The first of these new Units brings a brand-new battle mechanic to the fray: the Bagpipers (3-Star).
