Long Live The Emperor

Long Live the Emperor is a simulation game in which you rule a fictional ancient Chinese dynasty. Govern the realm, secure the imperial lineage, conquer distant lands and work toward an era of prosperity. The kingdom’s survival depends on the emperor remaining alive and the national treasury staying abundant.

Shape your ruler

Customize your character’s appearance, whether you play as an emperor or a queen. Adjust facial features and choose headdresses and costumes to create a distinct look.

Manage the court

Select and manage officials, reward loyalty and develop industries. You can secure funds for war or use them to suppress noble clans. Recruit scholars through imperial exams, arrange strategic marriages and impeach corrupt ministers to restore imperial authority.

Uncover family histories

NPCs belong to clans with their own ties and conflicts, from prominent lineages with centuries of official heritage to newcomers from humble origins. Use the Family Genealogy System and secret reports to piece together clues, deduce the truth and uncover hidden clan secrets and legacies. These discoveries provide further possibilities for power struggles and strategic maneuvers.

Secure the succession

Marry talented consorts and raise heirs who inherit traits from their parents. Protect them from assassination and help them establish a foothold at court. Prepare for succession by balancing noble factions, securing loyal ministers and stabilizing diplomacy to support a lasting empire.

Expand the empire

Lead armies against foreign invaders, seize resources and extend your empire’s dominance. The game also features over 200 random events accompanied by CGs.

An AI chat feature that allows players to move beyond fixed NPC text dialogues is planned for the full version.
