Tech Upgrade - Add a new T4 tech class.

War Beasts - Add an epic unit limited to one build for each camp.

Anti-Missile System - Set blood levels for missiles and add an anti-missile system for units in each camp.

Air Combat System - Add a new niche: Interceptors. Interceptors will effectively restrain large aircraft, but will not be able to counter the more nimble air superiority of the
Fighters.

Naval combat system - Added a new position: sea control ships. Sea control ships will suppress small ships and overpower heavy bombardment ships. It is the most important unit to seize sea control.

Battlefield Upgrades - Battlefield upgrades have been added to the High Tech, which can improve the combat performance of specific units.


Great Sea Battles - Ships are larger and carry more independently working sub-turrets.

Original Unit Reset - All infantry unit models and decals reset. Most carriers, ships, and aircraft models, decals reset.

More Realistic Ranges - All unit ranges have been rebalanced to be more on the reasonable side, and siege units will have almost full screen-spanning terror ranges.
Terrorist Ranges.

More realistic effects - Most of the effects have been changed to make them less "toy-like".

Bug fixes - Fixed bugs that existed in the original version. (e.g. oil wells don't move, flags don't change, model mapping errors, etc.)

Next-gen modeling technology - This technology can drastically improve mapping details without adding extra performance consumption.


Professional Chinese and foreign dubbing - led by dubbing practitioners and dubbing teachers, the dubbing of the best of the best, so that the Divine Kingdom has its own Chinese EVA. among them, the Divine Kingdom is dubbed in Chinese, the Soviet Union is dubbed in Russian, the Allied Forces is dubbed in English, and the Empire of the Ascending Sun is dubbed in English for the time being due to the lack of an official Japanese voice pack.

New building style - spawn a construction core from the core generation point, fly to the target location to start quantum construction, with the ability to build across the entire map across the terrain.

New building/unit style - All units are original designs, combining Chinese tradition and technologies such as nuclear fusion, electromagnetic artillery, exoskeleton, wireless power transmission, etc. to form a new "Xiu Xian Punk" building/unit style. New units have been added or changed for other camps to match the style of other camps.

Complete Unit Setting and Backstory - The setting team has carefully polished the Coronet world with hundreds of years of historical deduction, and thought about economy, diplomacy, war, people's heart, natural disasters, religion, social system, etc., and has a more detailed and reasonable unit setting and worldview than the original version. And tens of thousands of words long exciting novels to illustrate how Shenzhou has developed from ancient times to modern times, and what kind of stories are happening in other parts of the world.

New Top Secret Protocols - Newly designed Shenzhou camp protocols that match the original pacing.

4th Camp UI - Due to technical limitations, only 3+1 UI interfaces can exist in the game (i.e. Soviet Allies Empire + Allies). Other mods either use one of the original 3 UI's or replace all of them with one UI. corona is the first to break through this limitation, allowing the 4th camp UI to be displayed correctly and independently.

New File Format and Incremental Update Technology - With the new .Lyi and .Lyix Mod file formats, it's easier for players to install, play and update mods, and the use of incremental update technology significantly reduces server traffic overhead. The use of incremental update technology significantly reduces server traffic overhead, making it possible to build a unified platform for mod publishing, downloading, and playing.

Battle state detection and camp BGM - this technology can detect the game process and use external programs to play the correct music in the state of development, advantage and disadvantage.

Shenzhou music planning - Theme music and BGM for battle, disadvantage, development and other game states that match the characteristics of the Shenzhou camp.
