Nation War: Chronicles

Nation War: Chronicles is a sandbox strategy game set in China in the eighth century BC, during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods. As the declining Zhou royal family loses authority, vassal states and surrounding forces rise and vie for its power and territory. You can seek to revive the Zhou Dynasty, restore order and uphold Zhou Li, or pursue power in the Central Plains and establish your own hegemony.

The map and its wars

The map of China is based on its terrain and major rivers, with realistic topographical features, an accurate administrative layout, 278 cities and 158 countries or regimes. The countries form alliances, expand and betray one another in pursuit of their own interests. In unit combat, back-hit judgments and terrain create additional tactical considerations.

Build your state

You can construct buildings, establish a capital and build a kingdom. The appearance of cities changes dynamically. A technology tree draws on the history of Chinese technological development, with each node quoting verses or passages from Chinese classics. You can also choose a belief system, including Changsheng Heaven, Central Plains belief and Baiyue belief, and carry out sacrifices and conversion activities.

Command and develop

You can control an army individually or issue orders to groups of armies, appoint generals and merge troops. Officials provide bonuses that vary between regimes. Armies far from a replenishment city lose combat power, making logistics important to strategic deployments. You can monopolize resources, buy and sell strategic goods, and send merchants to trade to support your country's economy.

Talents and cliques

Thousands of talents are available for recruitment to join your cause. You can also join or create cliques, then interact and cooperate with other groups as you shape the course of history.
