What's new this week?

This content patch is currently available for the Windows version only. Versions for Linux and Mac will be released at a later date.

Minor bugs:

-n the 1925 scenarios, an issue where the Comintern Compound's "Propaganda Department" action inadvertently removed the option to undertake the "Military Committee" action has been resolved.

-The issue of disappearing refugees in Xinjiang upon loading a saved game has been fixed (applies only to new saves made from this point forward).

Typos and proofreading:

-The poorly written English texts and typos identified in the Steam forums have been addressed.


Content:

-Two characters, Dai Kemin and Pan Zhongru, have been added to the Hubei CCP faction in 1927, as requested by a player. Currently, they are represented with default portraits, but I have commissioned the artist to create historical portraits.

-The "split army" action has been slightly nerfed, and a quick action button for this action has been introduced.

Have fun!

In this week's update:

*Some English texts in the battle reports have been corrected.
*Minor inaccuracies have been addressed in some characters' histories (for example, Xiong Kewu is now correctly associated with the right province).
*The issue where the peasant school unit from the Guangdong Provincial Committee disappeared after loading a saved game has been fixed (this fix will only apply to saves created after this patch).

Additionally:

A New Action to Split Your Units

You will find this option in the organization section of your armies' action panel.

This action can only be conducted by officers and the Generalissimo and incurs a cost (3Q1, 25 Fame, and 15 Supporters). You may also encounter loyalty issues.

Enjoy!

In this new content update:

The 1925 Sandbox and the Guangdong Revolutionary Base scenarios have been extended to cover whole China (save Mongolia).

The Yunnan and Guominjun factions now have more characters in 1925.

The 1925 sandbox scenario has been extended and now covers more than 400 turns.

That was few words but a lot of content!

Next update will certainly be some more content and fine-tuning for the 1925 scenario.

Have fun!

Hello!

A weekly update packed with numerous small yet significant improvements:

[h3]Annoying Bug of Armies Going Out of the Map[/h3]
This bug has finally been fixed!
The bizarre effect of armies flying off to the moon should no longer occur.

[h3]AI reworked[/h3]
I have begun reworking the AIs for the 1920 scenarios.
Yunnan and Shanxi have received the most extensive reworks, with the Zhili Clique undergoing a minor rework.
Smaller warlords should now also be slightly more cautious.
I will continue to enhance the AIs for this scenario.
Please let me know which factions you would like me to rework next.

[h3]Music pack[/h3]
The new music tracks have been compiled into an original soundtrack album. You can access it here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2810180/Rise_Of_The_White_Sun_Soundtrack/

[h3]Yunnan faction upgraded in the 1925 scenarios[/h3]
I have added characters introduced in the last 1927 scenario to the Yunnan character pool for the 1925 scenario (Guangdong Revolutionary Base and 1925 Sandbox).
Yunnan is now a faction with great potential, possibly overpowered (it features a generalissimo and several competent statesmen characters).

[h3]"1927mao" Cheat Code Debugged[/h3]
You should no longer encounter two different Maos in the same game.

[h3]More Proofread Texts[/h3]
This is for the English version. Given the total volume of text, there may still be typos and awkward sentences scattered throughout.

Have fun!

Hello there!

This week's patch is small yet significant.

• New Original Sound Tracks
  
• Reworked action for hiring bandits on your side
  
• Debugged the HQ panel
  

[h2]New Original Sound Tracks[/h2]

Jérémie Frémont has composed three exceptional new pieces for the game. If you appreciate Jérémie's work, you can explore his other compositions here:https://jeremiefremont.bandcamp.com/

[h2]Reworked Action for Hiring Bandits on Your Side[/h2]

Previously, unlikely outcomes were possible, such as Communists hiring White Russian Bandits. This issue has been resolved with the current patch.

Hiring bandits outside of a character's home province is now more challenging, especially if the bandit unit is strong or heavily armed. In such cases, you might need to pay extra to recruit them.

Consequently, you should now send only your most skilled negotiators to persuade bandits to join your side. Traits like being an opium or gambling addict could be advantageous in negotiations with bandit leaders.

[h2]The HQ Panel Has Been Debugged[/h2]

There were some odd behaviors observed while using the HQ panel for troop management. These issues have been resolved. The HQ panel should now function seamlessly, making it an effective tool for managing large factions with multiple armies.

Upcoming Updates:

*Improved proofreading for the English version and more community-translated content are on the way.
*With many players now adept at the game, it's time to enhance the 1920 sandbox AI.
*I have also a pile of small bugs to fix, huge enough to qualify for bug patch alone.

That's all Folks!
Have fun!
