Dear Lords,
It’s been a while! It has been some time since our last major update, and during this period, we’ve been hard at work preparing something new. Today, we’re excited to present a full introduction to our upcoming content — Oath of Heaven .
This is an independent side story of Three Kingdoms The Last Warlord, built as a standalone game with its own system and structure. To emphasize clearly — Oath of Heaven is not a DLC attached to the original game, but a completely independent title, featuring brand-new gameplay, mechanics, and experiences!
In this new installment, players will no longer take on the role of a ruler, managing vast territories or handling complex domestic and military affairs.
Instead, you will play as a custom independent general, serving under a chosen lord while commanding your own territory, private troops, and officers. You will receive campaign orders from your ruler and may act independently or cooperate with allied forces in battles across the land.
Your role is similar to that of the famed general Zang Ba, who was stationed across Qing and Xu provinces, commanded his own officers such as Sun Guan, Wu Dun, and Yin Li, and maintained a semi-independent command structure. You will lead a self-contained military unit, and as your achievements grow, you may even be promoted to the ranks of marquis or general.
Core Features of Oath of Heaven
【Reworked Attributes – No Tedious Domestic Affairs】
1. The character attribute system has been completely redesigned, focusing solely on military abilities. This means there are no complex domestic or diplomatic commands, allowing players to concentrate on developing their personal military force.
【Customizable Generals – Growth Through Training】
2. Players can create and customize their own general, selecting attributes, troop types, and skills that suit their playstyle. Through repeated playthroughs and achievement completions, your general’s base stats can be enhanced — letting you start each new campaign stronger than before.
【City Adventures – Recruit Talented Officers】
3. As an independent general, you can freely explore cities and interact with various facilities to accept missions and earn rewards. You can also visit taverns to relax or recruit subordinate officers to expand your personal force.
【Develop Territories – Gather Resources and Train Troops】
4. You can build and manage your own territory, using resources gained from construction and quests to recruit and train private soldiers. Different troop types require unique materials — for instance, White Horse Cavalry may require resources such as Wuhuan White Horses and Lelang Bows.
【Command Elite Troops – Win Glory on the Battlefield】
5. Once you’ve strengthened your forces, you can engage in battles, directly commanding your own troops while AI controls the rest. Victory will depend on your reading of the battlefield and tactical command. Winning battles grants experience, merit, and valuable rewards.
【Earn Points – Create Even Stronger Generals】
6. Completing all stages grants clearance rewards and performance ratings. The better your rating, the higher your score — and these points can be used to enhance your general’s starting attributes in future runs, creating a satisfying cycle of progression and mastery.
Development is still underway, and we will continue to share updates about Oath of Heaven as progress advances.
If you have any thoughts or suggestions about the gameplay and content, we warmly welcome all lords to discuss and share them in this thread!
