Fate Candle: Three Kingdoms - Chronicle Restored

About the Game

One Fire at Red Cliffs. Countless Histories Born.

The fire at Red Cliffs fractures history itself. Past and future overlap, and conflicting versions of the Three Kingdoms coexist in a single world. Its heroes return to the chaos under aliases, their names and memories lost. As an outsider to this history, you will rise from one city, seek out scattered generals, and reunite a broken land through war and difficult choices.

Fate Candle: Three Kingdoms - Chronicle Restored is a single-player, turn-based strategy game blending city management, general development, and battlefield tactics. Create your protagonist, govern cities, befriend talented generals, and build your faction. Deploy your forces across a ten-slot battlefield as you contend for the realm and seek an end to history's upheaval.

Rise from One City: Build a Domain Across 44 Cities

Begin with a single city. Appoint governors and officers for each administrative role, develop commerce and agriculture, recruit and train soldiers, and move gold, provisions, and troops where they are needed.

Decide who takes each assignment, where resources go, and when to advance or recover. As your territory grows, you can enable City Autonomy so each city keeps developing and supplying your front lines.

Forgotten Names: Rediscover 344 Generals

Familiar heroes hide behind unfamiliar aliases. Discover their strengths through interaction and service, then entrust the right people with governing cities and leading armies. Through their actions and victories in battle, they earn Merit and gradually recover their names and pasts.

You can also turn to the Fate Candle, paying a price for restored memories, information, and growth. Can you recognize someone worthy of command before their famous name is revealed?

Bonds in Turmoil: Forge Personal Ties with Your Generals

Visit your generals and uncover traces of their past through conversation. Offer gifts and become their apprentice to deepen your bonds and hone your own skills, and introduce generals to new friends so they can grow together.

With deep enough bonds, you may become sworn siblings or marry. From lord and retainer or comrades in arms to confidants and family, these relationships become part of this world's Three Kingdoms.

Governance and Warfare: Shape Your Faction's Growth

City development and Merit earned in war advance your faction, opening the Governance and Warfare talent trees.

Strengthen domestic administration for lasting prosperity, or develop military capabilities to gain an edge in war. Choose talents to suit your generals, resources, and neighboring powers, and shape your own path to power.

Ten-Slot Battles: Build Your Formation, Win with Tactics

Arrange ten battlefield slots around your generals' abilities and their infantry, archer, or cavalry troop types. Commit to a Main Strategy for the entire war—Hold Firm, Assault, Fire Attack, or Tend Wounded—then play Tactic cards as each round unfolds.

Call on the east wind to fan the flames, raid enemy provisions, or reshape formations with cunning tactics. Troop strength, supplies, morale, and cooperation between generals all influence the outcome. A war that drags on will also steadily drain your cities and the foundations of your faction.

Condense City Veins: Set History Right Before the World Collapses

Fractured history continues to erode the world, and World Stability declines with each turn. Hold your cities and condense their City Veins to buy the realm more time.

Balance expansion with recovery, and find your scattered companions as you contend for the realm. The fate of the land and its people will together determine the ending you reach.

The embers of Red Cliffs still glow, and its heroes have yet to reclaim their names. In this life, you carry the candle forward.
