Rise Of The White Sun News

修复中文版本的补丁。

您现在可以重命名您的军队
当地民兵现在可以动员并保卫自己的地区，抵御小型袭击团体。

Chinese version has been debugged.

You can now rename your armies
Local militias may now mobilize and defend their districts against small raiding parties.

As the game is in its final stages before release, some long-awaited features are now available:

Mac OS - Yes, you can now play on that infernal machine of the devil!

Chinese - You can now experience the entire game in Simplified Chinese.
Most of the translation has been done by the community, and the missing texts are currently being translated by a robot.

Quality of Life:

1)The neighboring districts now refresh in real time.
2)Clicking on a character in your character bar will directly open the interactions panel.

Game Release Date - Well, I would say it's almost finished now, and I am proud of how far it has come.
You won't recognize that rough, unpolished game it was when it first launched in early access.
I genuinely want to thank all the players who have been with me throughout, playtesting and providing feedback.

Steam data confirms that an increasing number of players are accumulating really long total play times.
This is a strong indication that the game offers a rich experience.

Hello,

As you know, I am working on the Northern Expedition scenario.
That includes many new mechanisms, including the Wuhan government and adapting the Shanghai uprising into regular campaigns.

To playtest this new content, I created a 1925 Sandbox scenario.

I also added the possibility to extend the Guangdong Revolutionary Base scenario if ever you obtain a minor victory.

In both the 1925 Sandbox scenario and the Guangdong Revolutionary Base scenario, you should have more events now.

It was very difficult to finish the Guangdong Revolutionary Base scenario as the Communist faction, because Guangzhou was often stormed by Chen Jiongming's armies.
That should not happen anymore: the Guomindang AI has been reworked and now it rocks!
(Playing as Chen Jiongming should be more challenging now)

You may spot small improvements here and there.
For exemple, I've debugged the Chinese version, but a lot of the text is still awaiting to be translated.

Now I am waiting for the feedbacks and playtests to improve the Sandbox and the futur Northern Expedition scenario.

Question: What is the Quality of Life improvement you need to see in the game?
It may end-up in the next content patch.

Have fun!

Also, faction flags will be displayed for each government members or candidates.

Hello!

The Guangdong Revolutionary Base has been extended to include all meaningful provinces for the Northern Expedition.

This is only a geographical extention: the scenario still lasts 40+ turns.
Next update will allow the player to extend its duration to include the Northern Expedition.

Nice new content includes:

• Feng Yuxiang's Guominjun
  
• More Peasants' secret societies (Red Spears, Big Swords, Heavenly Gate)
  
• More than 20 new characters
  

Feng Yuxiang's Guominjun

An interesting faction. you start in a poor territory, but you control the government and will be offered support from the Soviet Union.

This faction's armies can benefits from special "christian" buffs refleating the many ideas of Feng Yuxiang, and of some improvements brought by the soviet advisors.

However, letting soviet advisors conduct political work in your units is a double edge sword: will they remain loyal to you?

Red Spears, Big Swords, Heavenly Gate

These 3 new factions plays like the Spirit Soldiers. The Only difference is that they start in an area with a high density of Warlord and Bandit armies.

Zhang Zongchang?

I don't know why; but you always ask about Zhang Zongchang ^^.
In this scenario, he starts in the Fengtian Clique characters' roster and he is fighting in the Shanghai area.

He will certainly receive his own mini update at some point.

Have fun!
