Chess: Three Kingdoms Update Notes

Greetings, Commanders!

This update focuses on improving the tutorial pacing, stage experience, localization, skill balance, and various known issues.

Experience Improvements

  • Shortened some tutorial dialogue to make the early game flow faster and smoother.

  • Fixed and improved some localization issues for better text accuracy.

  • Reduced the required survival turns in some Wuchao and Wuchao EX survival stages to make the pacing less repetitive.

Stage Adjustments

  • Replaced WuChao and WuChao EX 2-1 and 3-1 with new Supply Destruction bonus stages.

  • These bonus stages contain only a small number of enemies. Your goal is to destroy as many supply pieces as possible within 6 turns.

  • Destroying each regular supply piece grants 120 Merit.

  • Destroying a large supply stockpile grants 360 Merit.

  • Wuchao EX 2-2 and Wuchao EX 3-2 survival stages now each have two possible random layouts.

  • We plan to add more stages with randomized elements in future updates to make repeated challenges more varied.

Difficulty Adjustments

  • Reduced the overall difficulty of regular Wuchao stages for a smoother progression.

  • Increased the difficulty of some Wuchao EX stages to make the challenge mode more demanding.

Skill Adjustment

  • Buffed Coldstring’s second advanced trait: Arrow Support.

Updated effect:

Whenever you summon a reserve unit, gain 1 Arrow.
If the summoned unit is an Archer, it shoots the nearest enemy.

This change should make Coldstring more effective in Archer-focused and reserve-summoning builds.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where Engineering options would not appear correctly after unlocking the second advanced passive in the Main Tent.

  • Fixed many other known issues to improve overall stability and gameplay experience.

Thank you for your feedback and support. We will continue improving the game’s pacing, stage balance, and build variety based on player feedback.
