About the Game
This is a straightforward game that combines "tower defense battles, base building, and idle gameplay."
The game simulates the development process of an ancient mountain bandit stronghold. With tower defense (Tower Defense) as its core combat mechanic, it pays tribute to (Fenghe) several classic masterpieces (such as Warcraft RPG - Thief TD, Element TD, and Cultivation Simulator) while ultimately simplifying the gameplay. By integrating idle mechanics, it balances "addictive excitement" with "simple and relaxed" enjoyment.
Each character functions as a stationary tower—they do not move on their own. Whether engaged in combat, gathering resources, or crafting, all actions are carried out in the form of tower defense (TD).
Plunder residents, merchants, and troops from various cities to obtain currency, resources, and experience. This is all about attack—no defense. Engage in battles with zero loss, allowing you to acquire resources effortlessly and worry-free, with no fear of stagnation from defeat.
In a reimagined world of Huaxia, legendary figures from various dynasties converge. Recruit, upgrade, assign professions, and equip them—multifaceted cultivation systems allow these characters to grow and evolve in every dimension.
Characters can be deployed not only for combat but also for gathering resources, forging equipment, researching technologies, and refining elixirs. Leverage their unique strengths to continuously develop and expand your mountain stronghold.
A map of alternate history awaits your exploration—cities, wilderness, and special locations are scattered across the land. Plunder resources, hunt beasts in the wild, delve into hidden realms, and in the later stages, embark on campaigns to conquer the world and claim dominion over all.
Featuring extensive advancement paths, this chart only outlines the initial tier of professions. By the mid to late stages, a rich and intricate professional system will take shape, offering specialized directions for both combat and production roles.

Version Information
Steam Patch Notes
Official update history
This branch is used for testing each version, so the risks are unpredictable — we don't recommend regular players switch to it.
Brave players can right-click the game → "Properties" → "Game Versions & Betas" → select the "test" branch to try out new versions early.
(Be absolutely sure to back up your saves, and beware of data loss and other nasty bugs caused by the test branch.)
Test Branch Update — Version 1.0.13.2
Improvements
1. Added a spirit creature category to the inventory. When displaying a category, batch selling now only sells spirit creatures in the selected category.
2. Added an Armory (equipment storage) function to the Hall of Gathering Heroes, which must first be unlocked in base technologies.
3. The character equipment screen now has an equip mode setting. When switched to Armory mode, you can equip or unequip directly from the corresponding Armory storage.
4. Changed the Archer's passive skill affix from range bonus to basic attack damage.
5. Changed the passive skill affixes of the Qi Archer / Chain Bow God from bonus damage to minions to attack speed bonus.
6. Added a Pawnshop function to the Hall of Gathering Heroes, enabled by default.
7. Now there is a counter relationship between skill elements and enemy elements.
For example: using Water skills against Fire enemies deals a lot of extra damage. Using Fire skills against Water enemies reduces damage.
8. Optimized stuttering caused by mass crafting.
Fixes
1. Fixed an issue where pressing ESC to close an interface would show the system menu.
2. Fixed issues where Fire, Wood, and Water skill multipliers and elemental counter attributes were incorrectly ineffective.
Important: Players who have used this version should NOT switch back to any older version — doing so may cause Armory items to be lost.

Xiao Mang Has a New Game to Warm Up Early!
- To ride this wave of momentum and make sure we can keep going, we've put up the Steam store page for *Eternal Xiuzhen* ahead of time!
- This game is a small "incremental + hunting + cultivation" title, leaning more toward incremental; idle elements may be added in the late game after clearing.
- Don't worry — while I'm handling the design for this game, I'm not the one writing the code or doing the art.
- Right now this game doesn't take up any of my workload, and I'll still be focusing on *Bandit Simulator TD*. At this stage, our programmer is doing the early groundwork.
- We sincerely beg everyone to Follow + Wishlist to show your support! A playtest demo will be released later too!
