Zao Jun is one of the least-used heroes in this game, and so I have decided it is time to feature him in a custom campaign. So I am pleased to announce I have begun working on a new campaign titled 'Tale of the Kitchen God'.
There are several different Chinese legends about the origins of Zao Jun and his ascension to becoming the Kitchen God. I will focus on telling the most common version of his origin, which is explained in the 'Heroes' section of this Emperor Heaven website. However, I have decided to make a few variations in his story, both for playability and to inject you (the player) into the plot. I plan to tell the story in 3 acts (missions), and confine the gameplay to one custom map.
Even though the main story is a fictional legend, the background will be historically accurate. The campaign will be set in the 2nd century BCE during the Han dynasty, under the reign of the great emperor Wu Di. The Han armies have just pushed the Xiongnu out of the Ordos Desert, and the emperor wishes the region colonized. This opens the story for me to create a new 'enourmous' size map with arid climate.
This project is still in its early phases, but my best guess-timate is that it will be released sometime in October or November of 2017.
