Mandate Order

Mandate Order is an ancient war simulation and city-building game set in ancient China, combining construction, management, and tactical strategy.

The game features free-form city-state construction, a retainer system inspired by the Hundred Schools of Thought, dynamic seasonal and weather changes, and large-scale real-time tactical battles. Under the constant threat of enemy invasion, you will build and manage an ancient military stronghold that integrates production, defense, and warfare.

Mandate Order Gameplay

===========================================================================================

1. “Build” — City-State Construction, Free Planning, Seasonal Farming, Spring Plowing and Summer Cultivation

A gridless free-building system allows you to construct everything from residences and farms to workshops and barracks, forming a complete urban production chain.

The game features rich farming, building, gathering, and production systems. A full annual production cycle brings seasonal changes that affect not only the visual atmosphere, but also city management and the rhythm of marching and warfare.

2. "Stratagem"— Retainers, the Hundred Schools of Thought, Diplomacy, National Policies, Alliances and Rivalries

Rule like a city lord or feudal ruler: integrate different schools of thought, formulate diplomatic strategies, and shape your own philosophy of governance. Make choices such as forming alliances, declaring ceasefires, opening trade, or joining forces against powerful enemies. A nine-grid national policy system works together with court debates, while the schools of your retainers influence the direction of policy.

Recruit retainers from Confucianism, Daoism, Mohism, Legalism, Militarism, Agriculturalism, and other schools. Assign them to city governance, military command, diplomatic negotiation, and national policy development. Different combinations create unique gameplay experiences.…
