5 itemsAbout the Game
Mandate Eternal is a grand strategy game that focuses around the Ming Dynasty of China and events that occurred in Eurasia during the reign of Ming and potentially extending to the late 18th century. The fall of the Mongol Yuan led to the rise of the Ming Dynasty, with it a new era begins for China and Asia.
The game begins immediately after the Tumu Crisis of 1449, where the numerically superior Ming army suffered major defeats against the Mongolians. The fate of the empire is uncertain, and this is where your journey begins. Build and lead your army personally in conquests against foreign foes. Utilize the rich and detailed economic system to obtain wealth from within. Navigate through the most sophisticated political dealings and make decisions in the court that would have profound impacts across the nation. Enact major reforms that may determine the course of your country. Progress and sail around the globe, or seal your kingdom from the outside world. The choice is yours to make, may your Mandate be Eternal.
Unparalleled economic simulation
We invited real economists to design our economic system, from the individual regions of local markets, to the nationwide trade and beyond, the economy is a cornerstone of how your country will shape out to be. You can inspect the market, production and population of every single region, and also enact provincial or national laws to modify it.
Unique and highly flavored political system
Even as the emperor of all of China, the sheer size of the imperial court and bureaucracies across the nation makes politics no easier. Interact with ministers, factions and all sorts of court dealings to secure your reign, and rule your country as you wish.
Next-gen simulation performance
Mandate Eternal is fully optimized and ready for the modern computer. Our game runs entirely multi-threaded, extensively using both the GPU and CPU for maximal computation, and a performance by default Entity Component game architecture. It allows us to compute tens of thousands of unique populations, markets, tech, and presenting tens of thousands of soldiers in our RTS game like never before.
Detailed and rich historic recreation
Our game is deeply historic, or ahistoric. The game is filled with rich and carefully crafted events, stories and historical elements that truly embodies the Ming Dynasty.
