The Soldier

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

The Concheror 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 this banner's buff is active, allies within 450 units are healed for 35% of the damage they deal.

Players who pre-purchased Total War: SHOGUN 2 on Steam before March 15, 2011, were awarded with a Genuine quality version of this item.

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.
  • Sometimes, if one joins a server and the first class one plays as is Soldier, with this weapon equipped, the Rage Meter in the bottom right hand corner of the HUD simply disappears for the duration of the Soldier's first spawn to first death.
  • In rare cases, you can shoot allies and damage yourself to build rage with this weapon.

Trivia

  • The "horn" sound effect is unique for this banner; however, unlike those for the Buff Banner and Batallion's Backup, 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, using four squares instead of four quarter-circles. The symbol is also often used in video games to symbolize territorial game modes, which Team Fortress's main game mode, Control Point, could be considered.
  • 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 "Template:W", the weapon's substitute for a bugle, and "conqueror".
