It is still in development, and we hope to launch it in the near future. Feel free to add the game to your wishlist↑. English localization is in progress. The Official Release version will support English. Please stay tuned! In the previous developer diary, we introduced one of the significant changes in version 0.3: Authority. This actually serves as a prelude to another important status: Reign. Authority will shift from a percentage to a specific numerical value, directly incorporated into the calculation of Reign. Reign will be introduced as another new critical change in version 0.3. [h2]Role of Reign[/h2] Reign can be understood as the ability and extent of control and deterrence that the court institutions exert over the state. Insufficient Reign implies that the court's control capability struggles to reach every corner of the country, often occurring in the endgame when players expand their territories.

As the most direct rulers of the country, the image of the royalty greatly influences their control over the entire state. [*][b]National Buildings[/b]: Some national buildings can directly enhance Reign. The construction of wonders indirectly reflects a country's national strength and can demonstrate power to both its people and foreign countries. [*][b]Bureaucratic Rule[/b]: Bureaucratic rule is the most important source of Reign. As the officials in the court rise in merit, they require the emperor to grant higher titles to maintain loyalty, which simultaneously increases the output of Reign. Loyal officials will help maintain the stability of the country. However, bureaucratic rule is a double-edged sword; while it aids Reign, it does not necessarily mean the abandonment of personal desires, and situations of Land Consolidation may exacerbate.

[/olist] These listed elements will be influenced by other aspects, forming the complete and organic national attribute system of The Emperor and State.
