Short. Unite a shattered Han China in 190, 194 or 200 AD. Govern cities, raise five kinds of troops, storm walled cities and court allies. Every officer has a face, a stat sheet and a memory. Turn-based grand strategy with tactical siege battles, single player, no microtransactions. Coming to Steam Early Access.
Long. The Han dynasty is dying and the warlords stand over the body. Dynasty Divided puts you at the head of one of them, from Cao Cao's small, brilliant court in the centre to Liu Bei's single poor city and two sworn brothers. Seasons are turns. You govern cities, raise and march armies, build markets and walls, and manage a court of fifty-one historical officers who grow with use, age, die, and remember every slight. Armies are visible on the road before they strike, so war is a matter of reading the map rather than rolling dice. Five kinds of troops each have a job at the walls, where most wars are decided: archers hold them, catapults clear them, swordsmen climb them, spearmen hold the gates and stop cavalry, and cavalry rides two cities a season. When your house fights, you can lead the siege on a hex field or leave it to your generals. Diplomacy runs on standing between houses: alliances hold until someone decides they are worth breaking, and the whole realm hears about it when they do.

Short. Ten-minute runs against a rising horde in a drowned fen, with weapons that evolve and loot that persists between runs: rarities, rolled affixes and legendary powers that change how a weapon works. Equip, reroll at the Forge, go back in deeper.
