Not sure what's going on — suddenly can't reply to messages on the Steam Discussion Hub anymore (UU accelerator says region not supported again). I've read all your comments, but I can view, not reply 😂. For now, the update speaks for itself — all responses are inside!
※ This game currently does not support English. Localization is planned for a future update — thank you for your patience!
☁️ Cloud Save Fixes
- Multiple fixes deployed for Steam Cloud saves:
- SteamCloud _firstSyncDone timing fix
- Cloud save quota increased to 10MB
- Cloud save diagnostics improved (checks App/Account status before uploading)
🎨 Visual & UI Polish
- Main menu background art optimized, now features a dual-loop video carousel.
- When creating an Avatar, the name field now pre-fills with your previous run's name, plus an easter egg: the 12 Mandate Avatars will now use the names you've given them.
- Improved Zhang Fei's dynamic performance and portrait art.
- Added front-end placeholder prompts for some in-development system buttons.
- Improved scroll animation performance in the deck inventory and Codex interfaces.
- Improved the button UI for defeat/surrender scenarios — the option to abandon the current run is now clearly marked to prevent accidental clicks.
⚔️ Combat & Gameplay Tweaks
- Removed the whiff animation on basic attacks when no enemy target is present.
- Adjusted the Mandate of Heaven's attack targeting logic to match the Lianzhu (Rapid Bolts) judgment — units with Stealth before the attack are now considered untargetable, no more real-time recalculation.
- Slightly buffed Han faction units and the Shichangshi (all +1 max HP), and slightly buffed the lords of Wei, Shu, Qun, Wu, and Han (+2 max HP).
- Buddha Statue modest buff — after a unit reaches maximum gold quality, you can still merge it with a same-name unit. The merge takes the highest stats and lets you choose a new talent to replace.
- Adjusted the deployment order for all Wei/Shu/Qun/Wu/Han boss Phase 2 troops and the Shichangshi — using Han as an example, they now deploy in the order: Junior Eunuch → Regular Attendant → Western Garden Colonel, rather than all 3 of the same name at once.
- Added three initial achievements to speed up unlocking the Retreat ornament, giving commanders a smoother early-game experience.
🐛 Bug Fixes
- Fixed a bug where Naihe Bridge could revive Zuo Ci's Mysticism clones and Zhang Jiao's Tianshi-summoned Qun infantry.
- Fixed a bug where the Ten Regular Attendants (Shichangshi) would not be recorded in real time in the Codex after being encountered.
- Fixed a bug where the Shichangshi death video could not be disabled via the Star Chart toggle.
- Fixed an occasional issue where Codex/Star Chart save records were lost — Codex and Star Chart data now also persist into the meta.json metadata save file.
Wishing everyone a great weekend — have fun out there!
