Hello! As you may have noticed, the game now has a sandbox scenario, where one can pick the victory conditions that suits his playstyle. Here is the list of what have been reworked or added to the game in that sandbox context:

• 4 new characters (Puyi, Semeynov, Duan Qirui, Panchen Lama)
• Events when you take Beijing or Lhasa based on faction
• Some new character's actions & interactions
• Golog's victory conditions changed
• Some minor warlord's AI have been reworked
• Tons of new cheat codes
• Some more treason mechanisms
• Integration tests for the Chinese language have begun

New Characters & Political custom events

Puyi: Few factions have the restoration of Puyi as a goal, but Ungern for exemple may have this kind of fancy ideas Semeynov: Every white Russian faction taking Beijing will have the option to get Semeynov onboard. He won't come with empty hands, but with Japanese patronage. Duan Qirui: Some warlords from the Anhui Clique may be proposed to let Duan return as President of the Republic. That's useful as the man as strong connections, and can recruit many characters. Panchen Lama: A Chinese warlord conquering Lhasa will sent the Dalai Lama in exile once again. The Panchen Lama will be added to his characters' pool.

New Characters' actions

I plan to add many more actions, but for the moment, you have that 3 new actions available from the Character's interaction window: Indulge: two characters with the playboy role may become real life friends with this action! Political networking: Your diplomat and statesman characters will gain a real influence when using this action. It is useful to shape your diplomatic operations. It is perfect as a preparatory action before taking over a government or issuing a circular telegram. Parade in style: is an easy way for warlords and officers to get Face.

Victory conditions and AI's reworked

The victory conditions of the Goloks are more difficult now. Some warlords AI and Ma QI AI have been reworked to make them last longer in the sandbox mode. As it is in test phase, only few of the warlords have this new AI.

New cheat codes

In a sandbox mode, using cheat code is more a way to explore the game than to really cheat, isn't it? These cheat codes have all been created to test the code. To use them type "c" to open the cheat console, then use the cheat codes below: "punksinpekin": will reinforce the Police in Beijing and check for a revolt (You will see nothing happening if you have strong garrison there) "angrylama": just watch the monks rebelling in Xikang, because... why not? "endgame": this one is very useful, it will advance you to the last turn, just one click away from the final victory screen. "duanqirui": Adds Duan Qirui to your character's pool "choekyinyima": Adds the Panchen Lama to your character's pool "grigorisemenov": Adds a famous White Russian Cossack Ataman to your character's pool "puyi": Guess which famous historical character that code will add to your pool? "tycoon": Speeds up all your policies development "yollo": That one will give max resources to all your characters (quite powerful) "wearefamily": Will boost to the maximum the loyalty of your characters "Bogdbreaksfree": Will clean Urga from units and set it neutral

Some more treason

Imagine you have many province capitals under your control: do you really imagine that garrison commanders won't start dreaming of a governor's career? If you have too many armies, the control over them will losen, I you may have some nasty surprise from time to time.

Chinese integration tests

You can click on the Chinese language button to test it. You will see that most of the scenario and landing page texts have not been translated yet. But some in game content is. I will add new texts from time to time as they become translated. Well, I hope you will have fun with this new content, Maestro Cinetik
