华夏史诗：战国 News

[p]Esteemed scholars, whose counsel is as sharp as your wit,
We have received numerous petitions from loyal advisors urging the immediate pacification of the six states—a matter they deem of utmost urgency.[/p][p][/p][p]Their devotion warms Our heart.[/p][p][/p][p]Yet We cannot forget the last playtest: as Our troops closed in on Luoyi, the enemy’s city simply… vanished into the heavens, leaving Qin Shi Huang and his forces in rather awkward silence.[/p][p]The enemy had deployed an “empty city” stratagem—so empty, in fact, that not even the walls remained. The memory remains etched in Our mind—a defeat We shall not repeat.[/p][p][/p][p]Eliminating foes, restoring cities to order, and defending against waves of bug-spawned troops have tested Our strength to its limits.
Add to that disordered interfaces, exploit-prone bulletin boards, and other such troubles.[/p][p][/p][p]But take heart—all these issues have now been resolved.[/p][p][/p][p]We have also refined and expanded many features. A detailed family tree system has been implemented, so you need never fear accidentally cultivating… unconventional relationships with family members (let’s leave it at that).Managing personal connections is now more intuitive, and every skill and art is clearly documented. Assign the right task to the right person—with clarity and confidence.[/p][p][/p][p]When studying the philosophies of the Hundred Schools of Thought, you may absorb their essence—and then refine it further.
It is not that We dismiss the teachings of the great masters, but some doctrines align more naturally with one’s upbringing… and prove more practical.[/p][p][/p][p]Furthermore, Qin Shi Huang has ordered the removal of fixed camera perspectives. How can one grasp the grandeur of this vast land through a narrow window? A true empire deserves a true view.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Given the unexpected issues during the last playtest, We have chosen to prioritize your experience above all.
Thus, the art showcase originally scheduled for January shall be postponed until February.
We offer Our sincere apologies and ask for your patience as We polish the demo to ensure greater stability.[/p][p][/p][p]Some among you may ask: what of the earlier predictions for the demo’s release? Will you honor them, Master Win?[/p][p][/p][p]Set your minds at ease—this delay, like Qin Shi Huang before a mirror, reflects a double victory. [/p][p]How so? First, the demo shall offer a far smoother and richer experience;[/p][p][/p][p]Second, We shall select ten fortunate scholars from the 348 who participated in the prediction event held from December 5 to 12, each to receive a full game CDKey.[/p][p][/p][p]And to pledge Our commitment—We swear upon the imperial treasury:
The demo will be released between February 8 and February 18.
Any scholar who correctly predicts the exact release date shall receive a CDKey for Huaxia: Warring States.
Should We fail to release within this window, every participant in the prediction event shall receive a CDKey.[/p][p][/p][p]To take part: [/p][p]Leave a comment below with your predicted release date (between February 8 and 18). [/p][p]Event period: [/p][p]January 20, 2026 – February 7, 2026 [/p][p]Reward: [/p][p]A correct guess grants you a CDKey for Huaxia: Warring States.[/p][p] (The demo will be freely playable without a key.)[/p][p][/p][p]We shall continue refining the game, determined to be worthy of your anticipation. Little Xi will soon share more development updates—We welcome you to join Our Discord and share your thoughts![/p][p]Discord:https://discord.gg/X8Vqud4JPy [/p]

[p]End up in prison, stumble upon consecutively naked hunks, and witness them stacking together.[/p][p][/p][p]How did they even get past such tight prison security? [/p][p]Oh, right… It’s because they haven’t added Huaxia: Warring States to their wishlist, is it?[/p][p][/p][p]Time‑traveling to the Warring States isn’t just about freedom and wildness.[/p][p]Your look can be a twin‑tail hunk or a bald tough woman. A Han family can name their daughter “Hànzi” (tough girl) and their son “Hànfěi” (Han‑bandit).[/p][p]Your character can be generous and silver‑tongued, or cunning, sly, and fiercely principled-your preferences, conduct, and ambitions all reflect who you are in this era.[/p][p]But… not all traits have to be virtuous. (These affect stats normally, no harmful guidance implied.)[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]To thrive in the Warring States, you gotta plan smart.[/p][p]Bronze‑level Warring States folks clear their quest logs, save up coins, upgrade their gear—their power grows linearly with playtime.[/p][p]Gold‑level masters believe in “borrowing.” They conveniently “borrow” a set of gear from NPCs, doubling their efficiency—though now the overworld is dotted with mysteriously nude men. Is this what they mean by “True gentlemen are indeed open and candid”?[/p][p][/p][p]King‑level veterans just smile without a word. When they meet an overpowered top‑tier retainer, they go straight for the triple combo: no‑hesitation → sworn brotherhood → invite as companion. From then on, battles end before you can even type “666”—big bro retainer has already wiped the floor with the enemies.[/p][p][/p][p]In the Warring States, you don’t have to be a good person, but you should definitely stock up on “digital karma.” [/p][p]For instance, add Huaxia: Warring States to your wishlist right now.[/p][p][/p][p]That way, when you later find yourself face‑to‑face with hunks in prison, you can at least comfort yourself: “I’ve accumulated virtue—it’s just this game that plays dirty.”[/p][p]Come quickly. Karma +1.[/p][p][/p][p]Join us on Discord: https://discord.gg/X8Vqud4JPy, and deliberate the great matters of the Nine Provinces with fellow scholars![/p]

[p]Esteemed Scholars,[/p][p]By your gracious favor, in the recent Playtest, tens of thousands of bandit squads were brought to justice, merchants in Luoyi suffered total losses in the tens of millions, countless retainers were recruited under your banners, thousands of players were knocked out by Zhou Yan’s palm strike—and above all, not a single Gaoluo cat-person was harmed during this playtest (only defeated).[/p][p][/p][p]Since the playtest began, Qin ShiHuang has personally led campaigns to eradicate banditry and bugs across the Nine Provinces. The chorus of “Unbelievable!” that echoed far and wide has brought Us great delight.[/p][p]Once We cleanse the last remnants of rebellion—such as floating cities and dungeon stutters—We shall reopen the vast lands of the Nine Provinces in the form of a Demo for all scholars.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Though merely a week apart, it feels like three autumns have passed. The day of reunion between the Demo and our worthy sages shall be set for mid-January![/p][p][/p][p]There was a time when our mountains and rivers seemed somewhat “relaxed” in their construction, yet your ardent participation has more than compensated.[/p][p]It is precisely your counsel and strategies that have empowered us to stand unshaken amidst bugs. We truly look forward to how many wise and righteous souls will become the Emperor’s Homies in this coming Demo.[/p][p][/p][p]Past tests are but history. This Demo will bring forth more fresh and engaging content for every scholar—stay tuned![/p][p]Mid-January 2026—We shall meet without fail.[/p][p]And of course, do not forget to add Huaxia: Warring States to your Steam Wishlist, to help your Emperor unify… ah, rather, to help us together build the glory of this Warring States realm![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Join us on Discord: https://discord.gg/X8Vqud4JPy, and deliberate the great matters of the Nine Provinces with fellow scholars![/p][p][/p]

[p]Esteemed Scholars,[/p][p]The playtest has now concluded. We extend our deepest gratitude to all participants and sincerely thank you for the extensive feedback provided.[/p][p]We will implement targeted improvements based on your suggestions, which you will witness in the next testing phase.[/p][p]Updates regarding the next test schedule will be announced promptly. Thank you for your continued support![/p]

[p]Esteemed Scholars, [/p][p]The weather grows chilly, yet We, the First Emperor, feel no cold. Why, you ask? [/p][p]Because your passion for Huaxia: Warring States burns brighter than any winter![/p][p][/p][p]To honor your fervent support and welcome more warriors into this fray, We hereby decree two imperial edicts:[/p]

1. [p]ADDITIONAL TEST SLOTS Beginning today at 17:00, We shall grant 500 additional test passes. Those who wish to join the battle may immediately visit the Steam store page to claim their access.[/p]
2. [p]EXTENDED TESTING PERIOD The playtest shall now continue until November 26 (next Wednesday).[/p]

[p][/p][p]In these few days of testing, We have received hundreds of missives through every channel.[/p][p]Every suggestion you've offered is a treasure beyond measure—Our development team reads each scroll with utmost reverence. Our coders have marched onto the battlefield of bugs, keyboards in hand, to vanquish these digital demons.[/p][p][/p][p]By your counsel, We have smitten these key issues: [/p][p]① Unbearably slow WSAD turning speed (swifter than your grandma's sprint!) [/p][p]② Lazy soldiers slacking off instead of fighting [/p][p][/p][p]③ The Gaoluo cat-people's... enthusiastically raised tail mimicking a second weapon [/p][p][/p][p]④ Vanishing health bars during combat that confused friend and foe [/p][p][/p][p]⑤ Flash movement now follows character facing instead of mouse quick-cast [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]...along with 134 other font, UI, and quest trigger fixes.[/p][p][/p][p]Why do Our developers have such profound dark circles? Regardless, these issues are now resolved! Update your game to witness the improvements.[/p][p]But lo! Our work is not done. Beyond eradicating every reported bug, We plan to:[/p][p]① Completely overhaul the global UI interface[/p][p]② Enhance combat to emphasize unit roles and formation tactics[/p][p]③ Expand with more maps, starting characters, and random events[/p][p][/p][p]This playtest concludes November 26 (Beijing Time). You may still share your wisdom via in-game surveys or our Discord until then.[/p][p]After the test concludes, We shall continue polishing this jewel. In the next test or official release, We vow to deliver a more complete, smooth, and bug-free experience with entirely new gameplay content.[/p][p]What new experiences would you wish to see in the next version? Speak your desires below—what if they come true?[/p][p][/p][p]Finally, We thank you for joining Us on this development journey. Your support gives life to this epic tale.[/p][p]If our game has left a favorable impression, We humbly request you add it to your Steam Wishlist. This simple act helps you stay updated while giving Our team the greatest possible support![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]We look forward to the day Huaxia: Warring States returns to you in its most magnificent form![/p][p]You're also welcome to join our Discord: [/p][p]https://discord.gg/X8Vqud4JPy[/p][p] to discuss continental affairs with fellow scholars![/p]
