【Three Kingdoms Yi v0.9.9】Treasures of the Realm

Hello everyone～ Chabu here, wishing you all an early Happy Mid-Autumn Festival！

We're getting closer and closer to the full release — the next version is it！！ It'll ship with localization at the same time. But since a lot of the game's text is baked directly into images, each one has to be redone by hand, so it'll take a while.

Thanks for bearing with me～ I'm anxious too haha. In the meantime, check out my Bilibili videos～ like Dong Zhuo's Cantonese MV (the other Lords are being arranged):

🧙 New Avatar · Heavenly Artisan

• A brand-new Avatar has been added — the Heavenly Artisan:

  1. Same as before, only selectable after choosing "Start Directly" to skip the intro at game start.

• The Heavenly Artisan's new Base Talent + Signature Talent:

  1. Base Talent - Item Warden: While on the field, each time your side uses 3 item cards, trigger an awakening.

  2. Signature Talent - Craft Awakening: While on the field, Trade grants 1 extra item card (multiple Craft Awakenings stack).

  3. Both Item Warden / Craft Awakening support Zhenhu.

• Unlock: In the Codex's Neutral units tab, spend 2000 Stardust to unlock the Heavenly Artisan.

• New achievements: Awakening Heavenly Artisan·Male or Heavenly Artisan·Female to Legendary quality (red) unlocks their achievements, each worth 10 achievement points.

• Scholar, Farmer, Artisan…… the Alchemist, Shennong, and the Heavenly Artisan are all in place — stay tuned for the final new Avatar~

🛠️ Steam Workshop

• A new Workshop entry in the main menu: view and manage the mods you've subscribed to.

• Subscribed mods do not activate automatically — you must check each one in the Workshop; only checked mods take effect in-game, and you can uncheck anytime.

• Mods currently support custom overhauls of all existing units, including:

  1. Replace art yourself: card portrait / landscape full art / voice-over / dynamic performance

  2. Create brand-new talents: name / description / trigger timing / effect

  3. Customize unit properties: faction / supply cost

• Mods are subscribed and downloaded via the Steam Workshop, and auto-sync locally at game launch.

• Now you can make and publish mods too!

  1. Once your mod is ready, click "Upload Mods" in the Workshop panel, pick your mod folder, and confirm to start uploading.

  2. The upload runs in the background — keep playing while it finishes; once done, other players can find and subscribe to it on the Workshop.

  3. A full creation tutorial is published on the Steam Workshop — open it directly via "View Full Tutorial" in the panel.

  4. To break the ice, I've uploaded a "40 Generals Danqing Portrait Edition" — Danqing-style portraits for 10 classic generals each from Wei, Shu, Qun, and Wu. Enjoy, and I look forward to seeing your Three Kingdoms.

💎 Treasure Items

• A new Treasure category has been added to item cards (the original Heavenly Sword / Red Hare / Tao Te Ching are now Treasures)

  1. Treasures show a dedicated Treasure Seal on the card face, instantly distinguishing them from other items.

  2. In the Codex's Items tab, among same-quality items, Treasures are listed first.

• Treasure effects:

  1. Use on one of your units in battle to permanently increase their stats for the rest of the run.

• Where to get Treasures:

  1. From city victory rewards (early cities are too low-quality to drop Treasures);

  2. From the Treasure Chest event's Legendary rewards (Legendary rewards have had non-Treasure items removed);

  3. Cannot be obtained from the Shop, Trade, Qiaojiang talent, or other常规 routes.

• 15 new Treasures added:

  1. Legendary weapons: Fangtian Halberd / Green Dragon Crescent Blade

  2. Legendary mounts: Blood-Sweat Steed / Dilu Horse

  3. Legendary classics: Eight Trigrams Formation / Art of War Compendium

  4. Epic weapons: Eighteen-Span Serpent Spear / Qinggang Sword

  5. Epic mounts: Jueying / Zhuahuang Feidian

  6. Epic classics: Scripture of Great Peace / Topographic Map of Western Shu

  7. Extraordinary Treasures: Twin Swords (Ci Xiong) / Zixing / Green Satchel Book

🔧 Optimizations

• Improved card talent display: when hovering a card to view talents, scrolling to the bottom now fully reveals the last row instead of being covered by the Attack and HP icons.

• Fixed Trade's item-gain popup not showing rarity — it now matches other gain popups and shows item quality (e.g. "Obtained [Epic] Feather Fan").

• Improved Trade's prompt order: when insufficient backpack space and insufficient copper occur together, it now directly reports insufficient copper instead of first popping a "Continue?" confirmation.

• The Qiaojiang talent can no longer roll Treasure item cards; its description is now corrected to "non-Treasure."

• Important notice: the Huixin talent still supports the chance-not-to-consume effect on Treasure items, but once the new Treasure sources ship next version, it will be changed to not support Treasures.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fixed the Alchemist's Death Warden talent not counting Fengchu's fake death as "1 ally died" — now when a teammate triggers Fengchu, Death Warden advances the awakening as normal.

• Fixed Marriage Tree-granted female Avatars turning male after dying and loading via "Continue Game" from the main menu (name and portrait were also replaced) — gender, name, and portrait are now correctly preserved, and remain correct after revival.
