We will introduce five new Commanders in the new Season, and their skill effects.

Destroyed the Qin dynasty, an unique overload—Xiang Yu

Xiang Yu, given name Ji, harbored great ambitions in his youth and possessed the strength to lift a tripod. He rose up with his uncle at the end of the Qin Dynasty. In the Battle of Julu, he broke the cauldrons and sank the ships, defeating the enemy with fewer troops and destroying the main force of the Qin army, shaking the world with his prestige. He was known as the Hegemon-King of Western Chu and was the primary contributor to overthrowing the tyrannical rule of the Qin Dynasty.

However, he let the enemy escape at the Hongmen Feast, eventually falling into a desperate situation. Singing a sorrowful song at Gaixia, he broke through to the Wu River. Remembering that the eight thousand sons of Jiangdong had no way to return, and feeling ashamed to face his elders, he took his own life with his sword. Li Qingzhao praised him in a poem: "To be a hero in life, to be a hero among spirits in death."

Wherever the blade pointed, the rebels were swept away, turning the tide in a single battle.

Afterwards, following Guo Ziyi to recapture the two capitals, he always charged at the forefront. He protected the lands of the Great Tang all his life, and finally died in the Battle of Yecheng, fulfilling his loyalty to homeland with hot blood.

Brilliant Stratagem opened the Hongwu era, one plan to unite the realm—Liu Ji

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Liu Ji, courtesy name Bowen, possessed extraordinary wisdom and strategy. When Zhu Yuanzhang rose from humble beginnings, he came to join him with his strategic talents and assisted him with his ability to govern the world. In the Battle of Poyang Lake, Chen Youliang's forces were superior. He Stargazed and proposed a fire attack, helping the Ming army reverse the situation.

After the world was settled, he advocated for light taxes and corvée, codified the Great Ming Code, and sought no fame or fortune. It is said among the people that he knew the five hundred years before and after. Though shrouded in legend, this reflects the life of this founding literary master who was loyal in his strategies for the state and wise in his conduct in the world.

Zhou Yu, courtesy name Gongjin, was a renowned Hero of Wu during the Three Kingdoms period. In his early years, he formed a close friendship with Sun Ce, assisting him in pacifying Jiangdong and laying the foundation for the Sun Wu regime. At the Battle of Red Cliffs, he stood firm against opposing views, resolutely resisting Cao Cao. With the Brilliant Stratagem of a fire attack, he decisively defeated Cao's army, making his name known throughout the world.

He is also remembered for his elegant demeanor, often depicted with a feather fan and a silk scarf. Although he died young, his great talent and strategy eventually became an immortal legend of Jiangdong. Later generations praised him: "A hero among the world's great men, a dashing gentleman of Jiangdong."

When King Zhou of Shang conquered the tribes, she entered Chaoge with her stunning presence, becoming the king's most cherished confidante. During her years in the palace, she accompanied the king with her talent and grace.

Though the dynasty changed hands, she eventually perished in the flames alongside King Zhou of Shang. Yet that fleeting glimpse of her beauty remains forever unfaded in the legends of the late Yin-Shang era.

“All warfare is based on deception.”

​

— Sun Wu, The Art of War

​

Night battles are one of the most effective strategies for gaining the upper hand. Sun Wu believed that “All's Fair in War” was a common tactic: ignite fires and beat drums at night, raise flags and banners during the day, all to confuse the enemy’s sight and hearing. Night combat is perilous; only the most elite Commanders and Troops dare to use the darkness as their weapon. Under the cover of night, Armies can secretly approach the enemy and launch surprise attacks when least expected, dealing a decisive blow to the Enemy Army.

“Xiang Yu failed in war and escaped. He reached Yinling, but lost his way. He asked a farmer. The farmer deceived him, saying, ‘Go left.’ Upon turning left, he fell into a great swamp.”

— Records of the Grand Historian: Annals of Xiang Yu

Order of Kings will introduce two brand-new terrain types: "Wetland" and "Swamp" in the new season. Wetlands serve as strongholds for defending against fire attack troops, while Swamps open up more possibilities for ambushes and harassment. These two new terrain types will become key factors influencing your march routes and battle formation choices.

\

Swamps slow down any troops that enter, and their speed will gradually recover to normal when they leave.

\

Wetlands provide troops with a certain percentage of Fire Damage Reduction, and this effect will persist for a period of time after they leave the Wetland.
