Jiangshi Development Update
Over the past few weeks we’ve been running continuous Jiangshi simulations on the Alpha server to observe how he behaves when operating freely in the world.Jiangshi is no longer just a boss mob.
He has evolved into something much larger: a persistent AI-driven invasion system designed to expand, adapt, and threaten the world over time.
What Jiangshi Is Intended To Be
Jiangshi is designed to be more than a traditional boss encounter. He is a persistent AI antagonist powered by an external large language model.This system allows Jiangshi to analyse the state of the game world and make decisions using real information. He can access game lore, world data, territory states, and tactical map information, which influence both his strategic planning and the personality he develops over time.
Rather than following scripted behaviour, Jiangshi continuously evaluates the world and directs his forces with a single long-term objective:
to corrupt and ultimately conquer the world.
His expansion, the territories he targets, and the way he deploys his armies emerge from the decisions he makes as the simulation unfolds.
Key Systems Behind Jiangshi
Persistent PresenceJiangshi exists continuously in the world. He is not a one-time encounter but an ongoing threat that grows and adapts over time.
Strategic Territory Control
He captures caves and uses them as corruption footholds. These locations generate resources and act as staging points for further expansion.
Memory and Adaptation
Jiangshi remembers previous events and campaign states. Failed operations, lost territory, or player resistance influence how he plans future moves.
Progression and Upgrades
Jiangshi gains experience and levels up as corruption spreads. Upgrade points allow him to unlock new capabilities such as additional army capacity or command slots.
Army Logistics
Captured caves produce monsters that Jiangshi can organise into persistent armies. These armies remain in the world and can be redeployed across the map.
Tactical Map Awareness
Jiangshi understands map geometry, including chokepoints, doors, and settlement approaches. He uses this information to position forces and defend strategic locations.
Strategic Planning
Jiangshi plans expansion in stages rather than attacking randomly. Early phases focus on establishing corruption infrastructure before escalating into larger invasions.
What We’ve Observed So Far
Running Jiangshi in a live simulation has already produced some interesting behaviour patterns.1. He prioritises infrastructure before aggression
Rather than immediately attacking settlements, Jiangshi has consistently focused on capturing caves first.
These caves act as corruption nodes that generate resources and monster populations. From the logs we observed him deliberately expanding outward to create a network of footholds before attempting larger operations.
At one point the simulation reached 17 corrupted caves before any serious settlement pressure began.
2. He builds supply lines and resource hubs
Jiangshi often chooses caves with high monster populations or useful terrain features.
In several cases he deployed captains specifically to caves with large populations so he could convert them into recruitment pools for his armies.
This behaviour suggests he is naturally identifying economic locations, not just random expansion targets.
3. He expands cautiously when resources are limited
One of the most interesting behaviours is that Jiangshi recognises when his forces are weak.
During much of the simulation he only had a single army available, which caused him to avoid risky operations. Instead he focused on:
• seeding new caves with captains
• increasing army capacity through upgrades
• consolidating territory before pushing forward
In other words, he behaves strategically rather than aggressively.
4. He uses psychological warfare
Jiangshi has also been issuing narrative broadcasts during the simulation.
These messages spread rumours, warnings, or unsettling events in nearby regions. The intention is to reduce player attention or create confusion while he expands quietly.
This behaviour emerged naturally as part of his planning loop rather than being scripted.
5. He recognises risk and prepares fallback plans
Nearly every planning cycle includes a contingency plan.
When the system detects potential threats such as player activity or overextension, Jiangshi will plan to:
• recall armies to preserve survivors
• halt expansion temporarily
• consolidate corrupted caves
• redirect upgrades into defensive capacity
This creates a dynamic where the AI is not simply attacking blindly, but actively managing risk and maintaining momentum.
Why We Are Running These Simulations
Before closed beta begins we want to observe how Jiangshi behaves over long periods of time.The Alpha simulations allow us to study:
• how aggressively he expands
• which territories he prioritises
• how his progression system scales
• how resilient he is to player resistance
Our goal is to ensure Jiangshi feels like a living antagonist shaping the world, rather than just another boss players defeat once.
Market System Reveal
We’ve built a brand new Market System to power a fully player-driven economy.This is a foundational shift in how trading works in the world. Instead of a global auction house, the economy is now shaped entirely by player behaviour. What you buy, sell, move, and control will directly influence prices, availability, and opportunity.
This system is designed to create real trading routes, meaningful pricing decisions, and new roles for players who want to specialise in commerce, transport, or market control.
What This Means
Markets are now built around local hubs, not a shared global system. Each hub has its own supply, demand, and pricing.Players can:
- Buy directly from existing sell orders
- Place buy orders at their own chosen price
- Sell instantly into existing demand
- List items and let the market come to them
How It Works
Listings
Browse everything currently for sale in your hub. From here, you can quickly jump into buying or selling the selected item.Buy
Purchase from existing sell orders or place your own buy orders at a price you decide. You can target specific listings or create broader demand for others to fill.Sell
Sell instantly into existing buy orders or create your own sell listings. You control pricing and quantity, allowing you to respond to market conditions.My Orders
Track all of your active buy and sell orders, monitor progress, and cancel orders that are still open or partially filled.Collect
All completed trades, returned items, and expired or cancelled orders are delivered here. You will need to collect them from the hub.System Design Highlights
- Everything is local to the hub you are in
- Selling into a buy order grants instant gold
- Purchased items are delivered to Collect, not directly to your inventory
- Cancelled or expired orders are also returned to Collect, not your bag or wallet
A Living Economy
This system lays the groundwork for a living, breathing economy.Traders can specialise in buying low and selling high. Transporters can move goods between hubs to take advantage of price differences. Opportunistic players can identify shortages and fill them.
Over time, the market will evolve based on player behaviour, creating a dynamic economy driven entirely by the community.
