Game Introduction

The Emperor and the State is a simulation game that combines elements of strategy, management, development, and collection. Players will portray ancient Chinese monarchs, governing the country, collecting renowned ministers and consorts from various eras, nurturing descendants, and ultimately building an enduring empire through generations.

Conduct court sessions, handle memorials, and set national policies. The State includes over 20 different Indicators that interdepend and influence each other. By adjusting the relationships between these Indicators, stabilize and promote the development of the nation.

Issue decrees, contemplate strategies, appoint officials, and enforce decrees. Decrees are categorized into seven major types, requiring issuance by the Secretaries of the six Ministry: Personnel, Revenue, Rites, Military, Punishment, and Public Works, as well as the Prime Minister. These decrees contribute to the governance and development of the nation, with most requiring cooperation between the Emperor and ministers through policy proposals.

Making distant friends while attacking nearby in diplomacy. Send envoys to other countries, establish trade relationships, or initiate wars...

Train soldiers, prepare military supplies. When the time is right, seize cities and conquer territories. Influence the course of war by issuing military commands.

Promote education, advance imperial examinations, and gather talented ministers. Through the annual imperial exams and additional special exams, collect historically outstanding ministers and employ them according to their abilities.

The Emperor possesses four attributes: governance, benevolence, valor, and talent. Engage in self-cultivation within various facilities in the imperial palace to enhance corresponding attributes. The Emperor's personal attributes greatly influence the efficiency of governance; therefore, properly schedule daily activities to exercise and improve oneself.

Gather beauties, bestow favor in the six palaces, and enjoy worldly splendor. Confer titles in the harem, bear imperial heirs, and relax to increase efficiency in other matters.

The Emperor is also mortal, and life has its limits. Choose the most talented prince in advance and focus on their cultivation. After the current Emperor's passing, the imperial heir will ascend the throne, and the game will continue! Through generations of inheritance, create your everlasting empire.

Through generations of inheritance, developing national strength, expanding territories, ultimately creating your eternal empire.
