In this update:

I fixed a lot of bugs. I won't bore you with all the details, but, for example, the 1927 scenario for the Guangxi CCP group has been significantly cleaned up. I reworked the mini-map. It's not a huge change, but it now looks much nicer. I added the ability to load games while in-game You no longer need to return to the main menu. (Many of you requested this quality of life feature.)

What's next?

I'm working on a massive content DLC covering the years 1929 to 1933: *Sino-Soviet War in Manchuria *Central Plains War *Japanese invasion of Manchuria These are just a few of the major events included, as these were turbulent years. No ETA yet, as this is a huge update, and I'm also heavily committed to the Cold War 2 project. (And yes, Japan will be playable!) Have fun!

"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!
