First of all, we’d like to thank you all for sharing your invaluable feedback. Our goal is to make Chinese Frontiers the best game we possibly can. We’ve just released a new patch for the game with numerous fixes and improvements. You can check out the full changelog HERE. Also, if you have any more tips for us, don’t hesitate to share them in the comments!
While we’re working on more updates, we’d like to take this opportunity to tell you a bit more about the different areas you’ll explore and the monuments you’ll raise throughout the game.
After meeting Jun and Mei and completing the introductory section in the village, your journey will take you to the far corners of China, where you’ll construct increasingly advanced monuments. Not only to progress as a builder, but more importantly, to ensure the safety and prosperity of the people you care about.
The monuments in the game are either based on real-world structures or inspired by similar constructions, and they also vary in complexity.
In this area you’ll raise the Beacon Tower and the Sky Stairs part of the Great Wall.
Beacon Tower
Signal towers along the Great Wall, like those at Badaling, were essential for communication via smoke and fire. Strategically placed, these austere watchtowers offered panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and winding wall segments. This tower is built on the highest point of the map, symbolizing the start of your great construction journey during the Ming Dynasty. Completing this mission unlocks the next chapter in the desert region of Gansu.
Sky Stairs
Based on the steep and dramatic Jiankou section of the Wall, the Sky Stairs climb a near-vertical slope. This mission highlights the intensity and emotion of building in extreme conditions. It is one of three missions in the second act of the main campaign, where adapting your construction to a cliffside becomes the central challenge.
Here you’ll raise the Frontier Fortress and Desert Outpost.
Frontier Fortress
Inspired by Jiayuguan Fort, the final stronghold of the Great Wall, this massive, symmetrical structure sits atop the main gate and towers above the harsh desert. Its ornate, painted architecture contrasts with the raw surroundings, evoking power and military authority. Completing it sets the stage for your next and most technically challenging task: the Nine Arch Bridge.
Desert Outpost
These signal posts and settlements used basic materials like clay and wood. The patchwork construction includes a tower, warehouse, hut, and living space. Its remote location reflects the mission’s survival focus, set in an unforgiving desert environment. It is the most atmospheric desert setting and one of three missions in the second act of the main campaign.
In this area you’ll first construct the Nine Arch Bridge and later on the Bell Tower.
Nine Arch Bridge
Built during the Ming Dynasty, this is the only part of the Wall crossing the Jiujiang River. The bridge’s arches reflect in the water, blending beauty with technical difficulty. You'll need focus and precision to complete the final pylon and install the massive mechanism controlling the bridge’s floodgates. The challenge is high, but so are the rewards.
Bell Tower
Bell and drum towers regulated city life and were part of ancient warning systems. While such towers didn’t exist in Jiumenkou, ours is inspired by the grand Drum and Bell Towers in Beijing. The monumental scale and rich decoration reflect its prestige. It overlooks a fully designed guard city, with narrow alleys inspired by ancient Pingyao. The mission ends with a cinematic that shows the tower in all its glory. This is one of three missions in the second act of the main campaign.
As you can see, the game has a variety of places to explore, and we intend to keep updating it more! Thank you once more for your feedback.
