About Eastern Era
Eastern Era is a martial‑arts themed management simulation where you lead a dwindling sect through a harsh, resource‑scarce world. You must guide disciples, hunt beasts, and construct every facility by hand while battling weather, hunger, and rival sects.
Exploration spans forests, snowy plains, and deserts, letting you gather plants and wood for crafting, seek legendary manuals, and expand your headquarters. The game blends survival, city‑building, and strategic combat, offering multiple paths—diplomacy, conquest, or covert manipulation—to become the dominant force in the JiangHu.
01 / THE GUIDE
Sect Leadership and Disciple Management
As the sect leader you recruit talents from wilderness or cities, turning them into disciples. Their needs—food, sleep, entertainment—and morale are affected by weather and disasters, requiring careful oversight to avoid breakdowns.
Untrained disciples are vulnerable; a single beast can scar them permanently, but mastering internal skills and techniques later boosts health and martial power. Some extreme individuals replace limbs with mythical beast parts for greater strength.
- Balance resource gathering with providing basic comforts to keep morale high.
- Prioritize training internal skills early to improve health and combat effectiveness.
02 / THE GUIDE
Resource Gathering and Crafting
Every plant and tree in the interactive world can be collected and processed into resources for crafting and constructing survival necessities. You study construction, manufacturing, and art to choose a cultivation path that matches your sect’s development.
Thoughtful design of storage spaces is essential to prevent material damage under poor conditions and high temperatures, ensuring a steady supply for building halls, lofts, and defensive structures.
- Store materials in cool, sheltered areas to avoid degradation.
- Diversify resource types to support both construction and disciple needs.

03 / THE GUIDE
Construction and Defensive Structures
You manually build all facilities brick by brick, from grand halls to practical storage. Defensive structures such as walls and arrow towers can be erected to deter bandits and hostile martial rogues.
Integrating living quarters with disciples’ daily life facilities boosts morale, while defensive designs protect your growing sect from external threats and raids.
- Build walls and arrow towers to defend against bandits and hostile rogues.
- Allocate space for both training rooms and comfortable dormitories.
04 / THE GUIDE
Diplomacy, Alliances, and Conflict
You can forge alliances or sow discord among other sects, influencing events across the martial landscape. Dispatch disciples to attack rival bases, or use strategic diplomacy to safeguard interests and manipulate outcomes from the shadows.
Whether you aim to dominate through force, act as a shrewd diplomat, or pull strings behind the scenes, the game supports multiple strategic approaches without prescribing a single path.
- Test both aggressive raids and diplomatic offers to see which yields better resource gains.
- Monitor rival sect activity to time your interventions effectively.
05 / THE GUIDE
Martial Arts Training and Equipment
Disciples begin by opening their dantian and training internal skills before learning coveted techniques. Providing appropriate rooms, elixirs, and supportive items accelerates their progress.
Equipping mythical weapons and pairing powerful internal skills with suitable techniques is crucial for standing unrivaled in the martial world, especially during combat that enhances strength.
- Match room types to the specific techniques a disciple is learning.
- Supply elixirs that complement the internal skill being practiced.
