Three Kingdoms

Caesar's adopted son and heir. Only 18 years old. Controls Italy and legally inherits Caesar's name — and his legions.

Caesar's most trusted general. Controls Gaul and the eastern provinces. A brilliant soldier but a clumsy politician.

Pharaoh of Egypt and Caesar's former lover. Controls the grain supply of Rome. Navigates the civil war with cunning diplomacy.

Defenders of the Republic. After Brutus and Cassius assassinated Caesar, the Senate controls the eastern provinces, fighting to preserve Rome's ancient constitution.

The legitimate Ming successor. Shi Kefa defends Yangzhou with unwavering loyalty. Rich lower Yangtze, but court infighting and disobedient generals undermine every effort.

The Eight Banners have taken Beijing. Prince Regent Dorgon commands the strongest army in China. Wu Sangui's border troops now fight under the Qing dragon banner.

They toppled the Ming but couldn't hold Beijing. Li Zicheng retreats to Xiangyang, Zhang Xianzhong holds Sichuan — vast armies, empty granaries.

East Asia's mightiest fleet. Zheng Chenggong commands a thousand warships and controls Fujian's maritime trade — the only faction with an ocean escape route.
