Do conquer effects on units trigger if the unit with the conquer ability dies at the end of the showdown?

Ruling: No, conquer effects do not trigger if the unit dies during the showdown. You don't conquer until you establish control, which happens after the showdown or combat ends, so if the unit dies before that point it is no longer on the board to see the conquer.

Sequence:

• Showdown or combat occurs
• Unit with conquer ability may die during this phase
• Control is established after showdown/combat ends
• Conquer effects trigger only if the unit is still on the board at this point
