This period, known for its complex narratives of power, intrigue, and warfare, provides the historical backdrop for the game. Players are drawn into the lives of prominent and lesser-known figures of the era, engaging with characters and plots that highlight ancient China's cultural and historical intricacies.

The game not only recreates the iconic elements of the Three Kingdoms, such as the clothing from the Wei and Jin Dynasties and the currency used during the late Eastern Han Dynasty, but it also encourages players to explore these aspects in depth.

The findings indicate that players are not only engaging with the characters' archetypes within the game but are also seeking to understand their historical accuracy by comparing them to real historical figures.

Additionally, specific characters such as 'Sun Ce' have resonated strongly with our users, inspiring them to delve deeper into the history of the Three Kingdoms. For example, one user from Japan has shared their journey of becoming so influenced by the character 'Sun Ce' that they have engaged deeply with 'kengeki-sangokushi' performances, a popular interpretation of the Three Kingdoms period in Japanese culture.

"Ashes of the Kingdom" has successfully made the historical and cultural richness of the Three Kingdoms era accessible to a global audience, sparking a renewed interest and appreciation for Chinese traditional culture. This engagement not only underscores the game's entertainment value but also its role as a cultural bridge, introducing players to the depth and charm of Chinese history.
