Greetings exiles!
First and foremost, we’d like to thank each and every one of you, from the bottom of our hearts. For being here, for creating awesome things, for inspiring and generally having a great time. Conan Exiles has been our favorite game for quite some time and we can’t count the amazing people we’ve met along the way, awesome memories from the battles we fought and pure satisfaction we’ve felt after overcoming every challenge.
We’ve been here, on the forums, for quite some time, overlooking your advices, strategies, builds and structures. Now we believe there’s time to repay the favor. We’d like to share with you a piece of our journey.
This post presents some of our greatest creations, packed in hopefully a pretty entertaining form, along with providing a few useful tips and tricks. All the kinds of things you guys shared with us and for what we’re truly grateful.
This particular adventure started almost two years ago, after another server got closed and all our shit was gone. Again. So we decided “Hey, screw that crap, we’re gonna have our own shit”. And oh boy, what a shit we’ve got.
This time we already knew we’re going big. But we started a little bit differently. We’ve had the admin powers, creative mode and working console. Everything was possible and unbelievably easy to achieve. So, instead of building a city, a fort or any type of defensive structure, we’ve built a temple. To ourselves, why not, we truly deserved it at this point. This was our shit, we were able to control the time of the day, the weather, we could even become immortal, along with spawning every known entity - NPCs, items and stuff. And we spawned just that. Tons of that.
Then we looked at the result of our creation, nodded our heads with pride and… just stopped playing. You see, there’s a funny thing about being a God. You can do everything with just a snap of your fingers and exactly at this point everything you do starts being pointless. There’s no game, just another level editor or something like that. So if there’s no game, then why bother playing?
We realized that in order to have fun again we basically need to give up on our superpowers. That was the rough part, but we all agreed it’s only fair to maintain the team we were before. The word of power (admin password) was usable only in “maintenance mode”. The mortality became a thing, we died many, many times in many stupid ways. Yet, it was a good decision after all. We started fresh with just a bunch of materials and tools we’ve decided to keep. We organized ourselves into a clan and did what we always do on a new server. We’ve started with a fort, where we’ve put all our materials into. There was absolutely no point in doing that, since we were the only players on the server. All those crates and chests were as safe outside as they were inside. Additionally, we decided to keep the temple, so it will always remind us that with a great power comes great boredom.
Then we realized there’s no need in keeping it tight. Like there’s absolutely nobody who’ll be b****ing “only 1/9 of the square of the map - that’s the limit for your base and you can only use X building pieces. you guys went way too far with it, i’m sorry, you have to get rid of most of it. these are the rules”. We can go just as big as we want and we want it really big this time!
Sorry for this long prologue. Now, let’s get to the fun part. Let us present to you not the mansion, not the village, not even the whole city…
but a whole, actual, living country. Ladies and gentlemen!
…::The People’s Republic::…
The idea was not only to occupy a whole square of the map, but also to fill it with actually believable and immersive content. We can just flood the whole space with foundations and walls, but what’s fun about that? It was finally time to build a true utopia. Inside a magical prison, how ironic is that?
So we came up with the plan, it basically looked like this:
And a few moments later, we started putting it into action. Step by step, wall by wall, well by well. After a year it finally starts looking like something we feel really excited to share with you guys. Please enjoy.
But that’s not all! We also prepared two videos especially for your viewing pleasure (with a third one in the making). Please enjoy these as well.

If anyone got that far, we’d be truly impressed. Thank you for taking your precious time to become a part of our journey, we want you to know it means a lot for us and we truly appreciate it.
However, it’s still not all! We’re currently working on a few improvements for our server, so we’ll be able to invite all of you creative minds to enjoy some limitless building. Hopefully before the new update lands. Please follow this thread for updates, if you’re interested.
If you have any questions or concerns, we’ll be happy to answer. We also can’t wait to hear your thoughts, opinions and ideas about our project. All criticism is warmly welcomed and greatly appreciated.
We wish you incredible adventures on The Exile Lands and a lot of love! See you in some time when we’ll have more stuff to share!
Best Regards,
