Greetings Wielders!
The time has finally come. After months of teasers, devlogs, balancing, testing, polishing and more cups of coffee than anyone should reasonably consume, Yulan is now available for Songs of Conquest!
Yulan is our largest faction expansion so far and one that has been long in the making. The idea has been around ever since we first started discussing factions for Songs of Conquest almost 10 years ago. Built around three ancient houses, shifting loyalties and the careful choice between Order, Arcana and Creation, Yulan brings something entirely new to the game. And we are incredibly proud of it.
With Yulan, we wanted to create something that felt different not only visually, but mechanically as well, just like we have tried to do with all of our new factions. The Essence you favour changes your buildings, your units and how your armies play. Combined with multiple upgrade paths for many troops, Yulan offers a huge amount of variation along with more unique units than any of our previous DLCs.
Of course, a new faction also means nine new Wielders, five new Conquest maps, new music, new artifacts and, all in all, plenty of new ways to lose track of time, before realising it’s 2 a.m., and you have work the next day. One of the clearest pieces of feedback we received after Vanir and Roots was that many of you wanted more campaigns. So with Yulan, we took that to heart and created a full three-map tale, following House Sheng and the Wielder Shun as Yulan faces both old and new threats. 
Beyond the DLC itself, this release also comes with new additions and improvements for all players, regardless of whether you buy Yulan or not. Map makers will find new tools to work with, and everyone will get a new map to test the United Houses of Yulan for themselves.
As always, thank you for helping us shape Songs of Conquest into what it is today. From everyone sharing feedback, telling us when we make mistakes, reporting bugs, making maps, discussing balance, or simply playing the game with friends, you have helped this scrappy pixel strategy game grow far beyond what we first imagined, and we will always be grateful for that.
Now enough reading, Yulan awaits!
/Anders and everyone at Lavapotion
