The first phase features the ancient Nine Provinces of China: Ji, Yu, Yong, Yang, Jing, Xu, Liang, Qing, and Yan. Each province corresponds to the geography and local specialties of a modern province. For example, Yang focuses on waterways, shipping, embroidery, and weaving, while Yong focuses on iron mining and cavalry breeding. The central city in each province can be contested, with the winning guild gaining the right to collect taxes and control the city's defenses.
The second phase features cross-border maps, including the East China Sea islands, the Yalu River defensive line, the Himalayan passes, and the South China Sea straits. This region is a buffer zone where multiple countries meet, home to high-level resource sites and international trade routes.
The third phase features a struggle for dominance across the world's oceans and continents. The Asian region includes China, Japan, South Korea, India, Australia, and New Zealand. The European region focuses on ancient castles and heavily armored cavalry. The American region specializes in mechanical engineering and firearms guilds. The African region centers on nature magic and beast hordes.
