Fine map painting war heavy Europa Universalis, but buggy and unfinished.

Great character and game-play. Aside from the translation errors (some mildly comical) there is a suspected memory leak: When closing old game worlds and reloading a saved one, over the course of a few times the memory reported by task manager that the application uses is considerably less than how much is released once the program has been quit.

This game feels like a crusader king reskin set in historical China. I will only recommend this game to those who are really into Chinese history. Can't think of any unique fun mechanics that distinct itself from cruasder kings. Having chinese names and chinese thoughts replacing religion is not enough. If i don't switch to Chinese while playing, I dont even feel that this is a game set in Ancient China. Maybe have some great person/hero characters that will do something special, creating unique instances or special chinese great works like in Civ 5? Or generals that can use formations?Diplomatic Instances involving artifcals/ treasure like 完璧归赵 Or when you jailed some great person, there's a chance he will endure the suffering and have impact on your kingdom. Like creating some great literatures. When you elimate their whole lineage. Their heirs might escape to other kingdom and seek revenge? I need something that feel Chinese, like the stories I read in Chinese history. Also, the tutorial is not helpful at all, new players who have no background in grand stratergy will have no idea how to play. Make the tutorial step by step, which introduces games mechanics by achieving certain goals. i.e hire an official, build a army, a building, research certain branch of tech. Assigning general to army. Modify tax rates. Highlight icons for the learning player to click on. Despite my complains, I understand this is a two person team so I don't expect them to implement the features I suggested other than polish the basics. The game still works pretty well. Lastly maybe the developers can give out reviews copies to chinese streamers to promote this game. I still recomend this, because I like to have a grand strategy game set in Ancient China.

Look at video and screenshots, battle looks horrible? Well, what you expect, it is not Total War mod. This is basically "born outside of marriage" child of Crusader Kings/Victoria series and chinese wet dreams. Game too much chinese in some instances, like horrible unnatural colors of map or pinyin translation of some titles (like Supreme Commander/Grand Commandant simple called Taiwei, well, at least tooltip here is good and you understand who is it even if you are not chinese history enthusiast like me), it's horrible lack polishing, especially in description (all officers is "worthless rats" now and kingdom description looks to be copied from some wiki or essay), but it's more feature finished than first released version of Crusader Kings 2. Probably more feature finished than current version of Crusader Kings 2. English translation currently worse than my english in this review and you probably noticed quite a bit of errors here? But it's so much better than horrible translations of many other chinese games, like Tiger Knights or, god forbid, Tale of Wuxia series. It's understandable. Still, if you are purist then wait for later versions. The really good thing is that game lack some artifical limitation Crusader Kings/Victoria series set to force you to waste decades of in game time to start some minor war while your army is long ready. And you can build Great Chinese Wall! Edit: The secret to not loosing is not secret at all, you just shall appoint competent people on important positions, at least somebody on unimportant position and put good generals in the head of armies. And don't attack factions, which have more cities than you if possible. When it is hard to loose so long, as you are not bankrupt. And when you become bored, start a new game with higher AI agression :) And with weaker faction :) Now, couple of months later, while game looks a bit better and interface more polished, but translations is still a crappy. Map become a bit more interesting and AI seems to be more competent, but still choosing targets strangerly. And game is far for finished. Also, I guess sounds become better? But not that much changes gameplay-wise from my previous try. I gonna try again couple of mounts later. Still much better than last Tecmo-KOEI Rotk and NA games, lol.
