The early access version of The Emperor and State is coming soon! It is still in development, and we hope to launch it in the near future. Feel free to add the game to your wishlist↑.

English localization is in progress. The Official Release version will support English. Please stay tuned!

This time, we will mainly introduce the important status "Imperial Authority" in the game.

The various ability values on the State interface in the game simulate the situation of the country under the ancient feudal system. There are about 20 relevant status of the country, which are interdependent and mutually influential. It is hoped that this will bring more strategic and challenging aspects to the game. Players need to stabilize and develop the country by sorting out and adjusting the relationships between various status.

In setting the status of the country, I hope to conform to historical laws as much as possible, reflecting the contradictions and dialectics of historical development in the game process, allowing players to experience the experience of governing the country as an emperor in the game.



In the upcoming 0.3 update, significant adjustments have also been made to the relationships between current national status. Below is a brief introduction to the adjustment direction of the new version.

[h2]Function of Imperial Authority[/h2]
Imperial Authority represents the majesty and influence of the royal family among the people, officials, and the international community. It not only refers to the influence of a generation of emperors but also the prestige inherited by the entire royal family that players can experience.

In the upcoming 0.3 version, Imperial Authority will be updated. It will no longer be a percentage value but a numerical value, with two important functions: First, in the calculation of the country's governance power, all Imperial Authority values will be included, directly affecting the court's control ability over the country; Secondly, Imperial Authority also plays a very important role in curbing the corruption of the bureaucratic class, thereby reducing the negative effects of land consolidation caused by corruption. This alleviates the problem of the current version's single means of curbing corruption.

The increase or decrease of Imperial Authority is related to various factors, making the entire State system complex and realistic:
  • Personal abilities of the Emperor: The Emperor's personal abilities will directly affect Imperial Authority, with benevolence having the greatest impact on increasing Imperial Authority.
  • Grade of the Late Emperor's Mausoleum: The grade of the Late Emperor's Mausoleum reflects the legacy of the Late Emperor's reign. The higher the grade, the higher the Imperial Authority it brings.
  • Architectural style of the Imperial Palace: The Imperial Palace represents the overall economic strength of the royal family. The Emperor can use various rare building materials collected in various ways to build the Imperial Palace. If there are buildings with a magnificent style, it will also increase Imperial Authority.

  • Historical famous ministers in the court: The recruitment of talents indirectly reflects the charm of the Emperor. Historical famous ministers in the court will bring a certain degree of Imperial Authority bonus.
  • Enfeoffment of concubines in the harem: The harem, as part of the royal family, will also affect Imperial Authority. Conferment of high-charisma concubines in the harem can additionally increase Imperial Authority.

  • Other sudden events: Some random events may bring options that affect Imperial Authority, and players can make their own decisions.
  • Proportion of officials and aristocrats: The background of officials serving in the court will also affect Imperial Authority. The higher the proportion of aristocrats to commoners in the court, the corresponding increase in Imperial Authority.


I believe that the adjustment of Imperial Authority status will make the entire status system of the game more harmonious and, most importantly, better simulate the complexity of ancient royal families.

Thank you for watching, and welcome to add the game to your wishlist. It's really important to us!
