Minor Update:

Due to some implications I’m uncomfortable with, I will have to do a major overhaul to some of the code and beginning progressions. Therefore, the demo update is going to be delayed further. I apologize for this, but honestly, I think it will make the game better in the long run.

Please understand, it is absolutely vital that I complete these revisions before the next update, both for my mental health and also for the final publication-ability of this game.

Thank you, and wish me luck.

It’s your game Niki! :smile:

Do what you need to do and take your time. You have our support, and there is no need to rush.

This is one of my favourite WIPs im keeping an eye on, especially as I really enjoy costume\period, political and wuxia C-Dramas alongside K-Dramas… prefer them over Western dramas nowadays…

Stay healthy and enjoy writing this IF. :melting_face:

开元盛世最繁盛的时刻也没有恢复高宗时期的版图,换句话说武则天费拉不堪被突厥契丹打的收缩实控范围,贞观-开元本来是一个不连断的王朝上升时期被这个蠢女人直接打断

中国历史除了陈朝这个龟缩江南的非法割据政权以外没有任何一个朝代的姓氏和国名相同,而且陈朝也是因为开国皇帝陈霸先封为陈国公,还真不是因为他姓陈

You do realise that’s not the whole piece of the coin that contains both sides, right?

这个女人除了填补了中国没有女皇帝的历史空白之外什么也不是,她和老佛爷慈禧对比北宋刘娥真是天上地下,同样都是有政治野心的女人差别就是这么大

A) I appreciate that you’re so passionate about this. If I have time, I might consider changing the dynasty name. But for now I’m more focused on putting together a game that is both fun and playable. Historical accuracy is important of course, but I can’t bend over backwards to maintain every small bit of it or this game wouldn’t be made in the first place, since men weren’t allowed to be married into harems and non-binary people were forced into heterocompulsive lifestyles in the eras this game is based off of.

B) you have your opinions regarding wu zetian’s place in the history of that country. That is understandable. However, whether she led to the downfall of the dynasty or not, it is undeniably a fact that she was in fact the only female emperor. And she wasn’t the only STUPID emperor to sit on that throne or destroy a dynasty. Just the only female one.

C) Thank you both for being so passionate about my game. I really appreciate your support.

王朝名称其实真不需要仔细思考,除了明朝清朝和李自成短暂的大顺,还有洪天王的太平天国以外中国的朝代基本上都是地名的缩写简称,秦是关中长安地区,燕就是河北北部,宋就是河南地区,吴就是江南,晋就是山西地区,楚就是湖南湖北,中国的朝代名称是可以使用前朝的,郭威的后周政权就和春秋时代的周朝与武则天的周朝政权没有任何血缘关系,像北汉南汉这些政权都属于是姓刘的宣称自己是汉朝的继承者,他们自称古代的汉朝正统,历史书为了区分他们会加北或南的前缀

I used google translate to make sure I understood (in case anyone else wants to see what it was that it translated, I’ll include the picture here:)

This is very interesting information! Deciding the dynasty name isn’t the issue though. Going through and recoding every single instance of it’s mention is the problem. And since I’m already doing that with several other components of the game, I want to put off doing that until a later date. I appreciate your zeal on this matter, and it is ON my list of things to update at a later date.
