Research notes
Source Notes
Scroll of Taiwu Guide combines official sources, live-client checks, and practical player reports. This page explains what those sources are used for and where readers can verify the public ones.
Primary public sources
- The official Steam store page for release status, supported languages, pricing context, DLC visibility, and platform information.
- Steam news and patch notes for launch updates, bug fixes, and developer explanations of changing systems.
- ConchShip Games official site for publisher and developer announcements when they are available outside Steam.
Live-client verification
Many guide details come from the 1.0 English client itself: menu text, Taiwupedia entries, faction screens, combat screens, equipment screens, month reports, and screenshots captured while checking a specific claim. Those checks matter because older Early Access guides often use names, UI paths, or behavior that changed by 1.0.
When a screenshot is used, the caption explains what it verifies and the date it was checked. When a page is based on repeated in-game behavior rather than one UI label, the guide describes the behavior in player-facing terms instead of presenting it as a copied rulebook entry.
How community reports are handled
Steam Discussions, Chinese community guides, and player reports are useful for spotting issues quickly, especially during a patch-heavy launch window. They are not treated as final proof by themselves. A report is used as a lead to check against the live client, official notes, or repeatable player behavior before it becomes guide advice.
