About the Game

A turn-based historical simulation game built on an immense volume of data. From antiquity to the present day, you take command as the leader of a nation—or as a single individual—mastering a web of intricately interwoven parameters to guide your country's destiny.

Key Features

1,800 Years of History
Scenarios span the Three Kingdoms, the Sixteen Kingdoms, the Genpei War, the Northern and Southern Courts (Nanboku-chō), the Sengoku era, the Bakumatsu, the 18th century, the 19th century, World War II, and the modern day. Every era is yours to play.

Dozens of Interconnected Parameters
Literacy, approval ratings, peace, economic power, military strength, and more—dozens of parameters are organically linked, modeling realistic chains of cause and effect.

No AI "Cheating"
The hundreds of nation AIs won't go easy on you. Every faction operates under the same fair resource management—no handicaps, no special treatment.

Abundant Historical Events & "What-If" Branches
Featuring countless historical what-ifs, such as "Akechi Mitsuhide wins the Battle of Yamazaki."

Play as Retainers, Too
You can even take the role of subordinate figures like Toyotomi Hidenaga or Guan Yu.

An Ever-Evolving World
