About this DLC

The Dragon Rises

After decades of chaos, China is ready to position itself as a global power. But the years of rapid industrial and technological advancement in the west are a sharp contrast to the gruelling hardship that has left China stunted and playing catch up with its rivals. Guide the People's Republic through decades of warfare, leveraging asymmetrical tactics and its massive pool of manpower to overcome and eventually surpass its rivals, transforming it from a peasant nation to a superpower.

Campaign Overview

The year is 1946. China’s war with Japan has finally ended after a long and hard-fought campaign on multiple fronts, culminating with the US executing two nuclear strikes on Japanese soil. But as the rest of the world finds peace and establishes a new order, China finds itself fighting an old war, as the communist revolutionaries take up arms against the nationalist government. The stage is set for China to finally unify under a single banner and begin a new era of prosperity and power, but not without spilling even more of its own blood…
