My Muse is still whispering to me during this crazy year of 2020. Maybe she thrives on world chaos? I cannot say for sure, except that she guided me to create a new mountain map without any clear idea what story it told. The map is completed now, and I will begin building a new campaign around it. Here is the link to the Gallery album of screenshots:

The tentative title right now is "The Legend of Xingshan". "Xing" means "Star" and "shan" means "mountain". When you look at the minimap of the topography you will understand how the name fits. The setting will be the late 8th century CE during the Tang Dynasty, just after the An Lushan (also called An Shi) Rebellion has ended.
I have not worked out the entire storyline yet, but I want to inject the gods and heroes into the story, similar to how I did it in my prior campaigns "Legend of the Xiong Lovers" and "Tale of the Kitchen God".
The campaign will be rated 'normal' difficulty (i.e., no time limits on missions) and will probably have at least 3 missions all taking place on the Xing mountain map. This formula seems to be popular with those of you still playing this game.
I am very early in the design but perhaps I can complete this by the end of June or early July. Meanwhile, I will give updates here and on the Emperor Facebook page. Feel free to leave comments on this thread, if you have any.
