You know what a society of snowflakes and people making being offended a “cool” thing it is any more…Someone is going to pull the “don’t you know the difference between Chinese and Japanese is?” and get all the other snowflakes involved…Not going to be pretty…I seen it happen in the forums of different games and artist’s pages…This game needs no more drama. ---

Most of the player base for gems of war is in the US. Therefore, the time that reset occurs is in the middle of the night for a majority of it’s players. Why do I bring that up? Because that is actually worth a debate since it’s offensive for Americans to have to go by Aussie time. Much more so, than some mistaken art images. Seems like no one gets offended more… Than those that are offended by something that could be offensive to others. It’s also important to note, that this post is satirical in nature. No matter how much I kick and scream. The devs won’t change the reset time. I’ll eventually get over it. And the stat about America being the majority is something I made up… But could be true. I’m sure I could look into it… But I don’t care that much. Because…'MERICA!🇺🇲 ---

As far as I know, this kingdom will be a “gift” for the GoW release in China so on, chinese new players could be disappointed by some usual misunderstandings between chinese and japanese cultures. And I still hope that we will get a full-themed japanese kingdom 😉 . ---

I think you, Lyya, and I (among many others with ties to Japan) would enjoy that immensely! ---

Good spot on the artwork turintuor. Looks like someone is in for a bit of a roasting. Lazy artist? It did look beautiful though but clearly ‘borrowed heavily’ ahem, from _that_ picture. ---

If I were to bet, someone at the artist company is getting fired based on the response that they are changing the background before release. Copyright infringement is pretty serious. ---

I do hope they make it more clearly Chinese. It’s odd having all Chinese folklore troops but then a mishmash of Asian cultures for the kingdom. Seems like the opposite of localization. ---

But a yokai based kingdom (tengu, kappa will be the Common, etc.) 😉 . ---

We included cherry blossoms in the Chinese kingdom, as China has a lot of cherry blossoms! We weren’t intentionally taking from Japanese culture, they are very popular and present in China as well. ---

I just want to say Peony and Plum blossom are more suitable to help Shentang to be a chinese style kingdom.if dev insist on using cherry blossoms in backgroud of shentang,it will be make most of chinese player uncomfortable.because The cherry blossoms is national flower of Japan.its really not a good idea . ![梅花1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/3/c/3c6a2a9e147117a3d3acea26b9def6c7e9493424.jpg) ![牡丹](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/7/7/77ce0ae17f8bc4edaf12bddf8f852efb9a1cc23d.jpg) ---

I’m guessing… That December is when they’re trying to release the new Kingdom. I know it feels too soon. But Merlantis was delayed a month. So I don’t know if that delayed the rest of the Kingdoms or not. @Lyya, would that be a fair guess? ---

Would be nice to get confirmation if we’ll be getting the new kingdom still this year. ---

Shentang won’t be releasing this year. We haven’t confirmed when our next kingdom will release, but there’s been some reshuffling, and it looks like it won’t be Shentang! Maybe the kingdom will even have my new favourite troop, lovingly dubbed, “Hot Dude.” ---

Does that mean there would be a different kingdom releasing this year, or that we can expect the next kingdom (Shentang or otherwise) in the new year? ---

Can’t answer that @Stan! We are working on a release date for the next kingdom. We are unsure if it will release in December or January. ---
