• A: Unfortunately, test version saves cannot be transferred to the official release. We apologize for the inconvenience.

• Q: What kind of game is this? How do I get started?

• A: Eastern Era is a Wuxia-themed survival and simulation management game. At the start, collect supplies from wrecked carriages, command your disciples to gather resources and build structures. Prioritize securing food and shelter to survive hunger and harsh cold weather. Gradually develop your sect, craft tools, expand constructions, and train your disciples in martial arts to grow your power.

• Q: How long is the gameplay?

• A: The main story experience takes about 30–50 hours for players aiming to unify the martial world. If you focus on building, decorating, and freely designing your sect, playtime can exceed 100 hours.

• Q: Can combat be disabled with a peace mode?

• A: Survival and challenge are core to the current experience, so peace mode is not available yet. We plan to add difficulty settings and a peace truce item in future updates for players who prefer peaceful building.

• Q: How to keep disciples from starving?

• A: Gather food by hunting, farming, and collecting supplies in the wild. Proper stockpiling will prevent hunger. The survival difficulty is moderate, and you can maintain stable food production with simple workflow adjustments.

• Q: What is the maximum number of disciples? How do I recruit more?

We will expand the disciple limit later when diplomacy and sect conquest features are added, allowing you to assign disciples to occupied sects.
