It's incredible how quickly time passes when you're working hard on a game! A player recently informed me that I haven't posted any news for over a month. So, here's a preview of my current work.
A significant content and quality of life update is in progress. I've included some images below for you to take a look at. I don't have a specific ETA yet, but it's about 80% complete.
What's included?
1927 Red Bases
Red Bases will be an extensive scenario covering the entire China map (excluding Mongolia). I want it to be the equivalent of the Little Model China sandbox scenario, but set in the late 1920s.
The scenario begins with the Nanchang uprising, a divided nationalist faction, and Northern Warlords poised to launch a violent counter-offensive.
Certain parts of the game have been reworked specifically to simulate the Communist Party's evolution towards guerrilla warfare. Expect new gameplay mechanics.
To reflect the turmoil of the White Terror and the difficulty in communication between the Party Central Committee and the various provinces, the CCP faction is divided into four groups, each with its own victory conditions. Of course, you will be able to join forces with the other groups and reunite them.
Two new governments have been added: the Anguo military government in Beijing and the Nanjing government.
The Guomindang itself is divided into several factions (The Nanjing faction, Tang Shengzhi in Hubei, and Wang Jingwei).
There are many other exciting features coming with this scenario, but I'll let you discover them when it's released.
Quality of Life Features
Many more options, including:
The possibility to let an AI control characters in your reserve pool
This option will unlock when you recruit your fifth character. It will help you grow a large faction. Keep in mind that characters controlled by the AI won't be as loyal or efficient as you might hope.
Move on right-click option
This feature is designed to prevent misclicks. I'm not entirely sure if I like it, but it's now available in the options menu.
Do not automatically open reports
You can now toggle this option in the menu. I know it has been a source of annoyance for some of you.
More consistent map information at any zoom level
The system that displayed different information depending on the zoom level was not popular. Now, you can even keep the colored controlled areas visible on the map at maximum zoom levels if you prefer.
Improved navigation between provinces
I've made it easier to navigate between provinces on the province maps.
I'm sure I've forgotten to mention some of the features I'm working on these days, but you'll discover them in due time.
If you have any bright ideas or requests, please feel free to share them using the comment section.
Have fun!
