Our take on 春秋

The game places local control and broad strategic planning on the same three-dimensional map. The view can shift from close-up details of settlements and armies to a distant view of the wider territory.

What is 春秋?

Set in China’s Spring and Autumn period, this real-time historical strategy game begins with a state that has one or a few cities.

Players can defend their territory or pursue dominance through military campaigns, diplomacy, trade, and construction. Strategy and battles take place on a three-dimensional map, viewed close up for local control or from farther away for broader planning. Population connects the economy, military, diplomacy, trade, construction, and disaster systems.

Players can build settlements, forts, workshops, granaries, and other structures on suitable terrain, form alliances through meetings of rulers, and manage a ruling family. The game includes 143 factions and 1,000 cities, as well as characters, non-Chinese peoples, historical events, and random events. The vendor notes that the game is in Early Access and takes time to learn.
