Hello! A weekly update packed with numerous small yet significant improvements:

Annoying Bug of Armies Going Out of the Map

This bug has finally been fixed! The bizarre effect of armies flying off to the moon should no longer occur.

AI reworked

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.

Music pack

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/

Yunnan faction upgraded in the 1925 scenarios

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).

"1927mao" Cheat Code Debugged

You should no longer encounter two different Maos in the same game.

"Rise of the White Sun" is the most immersive grand strategy game set in the Chinese Warlord era.

Delve into a new world filled with intrigue, murky plots, and treacherous military ventures.
Once you experience the chaos of 1920s China, there will be no going back to boring WW2 grand strategy games!

Naturally, you will encounter all the standard features found in other grand strategy games, such as:
-building your empire,
-engaging in diplomacy,
-leading military expeditions...

However, what sets this game apart is its unique focus on leading a loose clique of unreliable opium-addict warlords, commanding massive, unruly (and unpaid) armies.

You'll have the opportunity to play as an underground communist activist, a secret society grandmaster, a "lord of the mountain" bandit king, or a cunning Kuomintang politician.
The game's diverse factions offer distinct flavors and challenges.

Thanks to the valuable feedback from players, the game boasts exceptional historical accuracy, remarkable replayability, and a fresh take on strategy games that I hope you will appreciate.

Have fun!
