Early development. ---------------------------------------- ABOUT THE GAME ---------------------------------------- You are born into a family in a Chinese dynasty. Nobody asked you what you wanted. From that first year, every year of your life is yours to live: grow up, study, work, love, fight, fail, and leave something behind. Dynasty Life is a life simulation. You live ONE person's life, year by year, and the world around you reacts to the choices you make. Your family name matters, but your story is personal. Every year may hand you a decision that changes who you become. ---------------------------------------- WHAT YOU CAN DO ---------------------------------------- - GROW UP AND STUDY Enter village school, state school, or a private classic academy. Pay tuition, train your skills, and decide what kind of person you will become. When money runs short, someone has to choose who keeps paying. - CHASE THE IMPERIAL EXAMS Climb the keju ladder from county scholar to the imperial palace exam, and win a seat at court if your intellect, politics, and connections can carry you. - BUILD A CAREER Work civilian jobs, rise through the ranks of the imperial bureaucracy, or enlist in the army. One life, one path at a time: you cannot be a prime minister and a soldier at once. - SERVE IN THE ARMY Earn merit, keep your conduct clean, face the dilemmas of barracks and battlefield, and wait for the promotion board. Promotion is never automatic, and the pay rises with your rank. - LIVE AMONG YOUR FAMILY Parents, siblings, a spouse, and children are real people with their own lives. They age, study, work, struggle, and pass away. - SURVIVE THE EMPEROR Every emperor has a personality that changes the realm: wise rulers bring stability, tyrants raise taxes and crush officials, weak rulers invite coups, ambitious ones start wars, corrupt ones drain the treasury, and reformers gamble the whole realm on new laws. Check the Imperial Gazette to see what kind of ruler you live under. - LIVE THROUGH HISTORY Border wars, rebellions, war taxes, dynasty collapse, and succession crises are not background text. They change your income, your options, and sometimes your life. - MAKE HARD CHOICES Hundreds of events with real consequences for your stats, wealth, reputation, relationships, and karma. Be honest or corrupt, brave or careful, generous or greedy. ---------------------------------------- HOW TO PLAY ---------------------------------------- 1.
