Armies Are Easy to Raise. A True General Is Hard to Recognize.
The fire at Red Cliffs has torn history apart, and past and future now overlap. The heroes of the age return to the chaos under aliases, their names forgotten, yet their martial skill and brilliance remain undimmed. Guan Yu, whose name once shook the realm, may already be serving under your banner. Who can hold a province? Who can break the enemy line? Only by putting them to work will you find out.
Fate Candle: Three Kingdoms - Chronicle Restored is a single-player, turn-based Three Kingdoms strategy game. Create your protagonist, step into the chaos from outside this history, and rise from a single city—governing, recognizing talent, and marshaling your armies as you contend for the realm and seek the end of history's upheaval.
Forgotten Generals: 344 Heroes Waiting to Be Recognized
Through Star Divination, you can learn a general's true name and whereabouts, but never which alias they hide behind. Entrust them with recruiting and training troops, pit them against one another in city competitions, and let their performance reveal where each one excels.
Put the right people in charge of cities and armies. As their Merit grows, buried memories begin to stir, until at last they reclaim their true names. You can also turn to the Fate Candle, paying a price for restored memories, hidden truths, and growth. Before a famous general's identity comes to light, can you spot the hero in your ranks?
Rise from One City: Build a Domain Across 44 Cities
Appoint governors and officers, foster trade and farming, raise and drill soldiers, and direct gold, provisions, and troops where they are needed.
Who takes which post, where supplies go, when to advance and when to rest—every decision is yours. As your territory grows, City Autonomy lets governors handle routine city tasks so you can focus on the front.
Bonds in Turmoil: Forge Personal Ties with Your Generals
Visit your generals and gather traces of their past in conversation. Offer gifts to deepen your bonds, study under them to sharpen your own skills, and introduce them to kindred spirits so they can grow together.
When the bond runs deep, you may become sworn siblings or marry. From lord and retainer to comrades in arms, from confidants to family, these ties will be written into this world's Three Kingdoms.
Governance and Warfare: Shape Your Faction's Growth
The fruits of your rule and the Merit won in war drive your faction's growth, gradually unlocking the Governance and Warfare talent trees.
Cultivate domestic affairs to build lasting strength, or master the art of war to seize the initiative on campaign. Allocate talents to suit your officers, your stores of gold and grain, and the powers on your borders, and forge your own road to power.
Ten-Slot Battles: Build Your Formation, Win with Tactics
Fill ten battlefield slots according to your generals' strengths and their infantry, archer, or cavalry troops. Commit to a Main Strategy for the whole war—Hold Firm, Assault, Fire Attack, or Tend Wounded—then play Tactic cards as each round unfolds.
Borrow the east wind to feed the flames, raid provisions to disrupt supply lines, or turn the field with a cunning stratagem. Troop strength, supplies, morale, and coordination between generals all sway the outcome, and a war that drags on will steadily drain your cities and the foundations of your faction.
Condense City Veins: End the Chaos Before the World Collapses
Fractured history continues to erode the world, and World Stability falls with every turn. Hold your cities and condense their City Veins to buy the realm more time.
Weigh expansion against recovery, and bring your scattered companions home as you contend for the realm. The fate of the land and its people will decide 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.
