《九王》即将迎来一次重大更新。此次更新将解决许多玩家提出的问题，进一步扩展游戏世界，并引入全新的无尽模式体验。我们花了大量时间重新设计核心后端功能以提升性能，希望大家能喜欢！ 混沌杰克 混沌杰克来自无尽混沌领域的深处，准备入侵九国大陆。因从未被授予属于自己的王冠而心怀不满，这位强大的杰克发誓要向真正的国王们复仇。混沌杰克从其他所有王国偷来了卡牌，组建了自己独特的卡组。这套被腐化的卡牌将助你把无尽模式提升到新的高度。当你到达第34年时，准备好迎接他的挑战吧。一副全新的卡牌组 一旦进入无尽模式，混沌杰克将成为你的敌人之一。随之而来的还有一副全新的卡牌组。混沌卡牌组是一些玩家喜爱的卡牌的衍生版本，这些衍生卡牌特别强大，专为无尽模式设计——在游戏的这一阶段，力量不断叠加，阴谋已然展开，命运的轨迹也已注定。14本全新的魔法书将为无尽模式注入新鲜感，为玩家提供一系列全新选择，带来更多变数。

基于基础游戏的创新玩法 《九王》的核心体验包含33年的游戏进程。这始终是游戏的核心设计，也是后续所有内容的基础。但我们知道许多玩家喜欢无尽模式，因此希望对其进行优化。本次更新的主要目标是为玩家在迈向99年的征程中提供新的期待，希望大家能乐在其中！ 性能全面优化 这是一项重大且早就该进行的优化。《九王》现在比以往任何时候都更加稳定，而无尽模式更新正是进行压力测试的最佳时机。我们重新构建了部队动画的处理方式，并整合了游戏后期的部分进程。这次更新真正改变了游戏体验：我们已在多台设备上成功组建了超过99,999单位的军队。尽管硬件限制始终存在，但我们认为《九王》的性能相较上一个补丁版本大约提升了5倍，更加稳定。

Chaos decrees 9 Chaos decrees were added to the game. This new category of corrupted decrees will start appearing after year 33 and will give you trickier choices, especially designed with late game scenarios in mind. Ultimate bosses Face the Champions of Chaos. New bosses that you'll have to top on year 66 and 99. *Up next, we'll also be adding some cool death & win animations to all bosses.

If you experience any issues, please email us at report@sadsocket.com. What's next? You can expect many hotfixes and QoL updates in the coming days. But our next massive milestone is Ranked Mode (working title). We don't want to tell you much about it yet, but as we have shared before, this new game mode might take 9 Kings to a whole new level. We really hope it does and we'll work hard to make it happen. Please give us some time to make sure the new game mode is as fun as you deserve it to be.
