Recognizing True Generals - The Deeds System
Fate Candle's core twist: heroes serve under aliases with names forgotten. You judge them by deeds and restore their names. How it works.
Armies are easy to raise; a true general is hard to recognize. That is the game’s own tagline — and its core system. The heroes of the age returned to the chaos under aliases, names forgotten, martial skill undimmed. (Source: Steam store page)
What Is Confirmed?
- Heroes serve under aliases — even Guan Yu “may already be serving under your banner.” (official)
- You judge them by deeds — observation is the identification mechanic.
- You restore their names — recognition is a reward loop. (all: official page)
How deeds are surfaced, what reveals a name, and how many hidden heroes exist are in-game content we will not spoil.
Identification Habits (community estimates)
- Delegate real tasks and watch. Titles lie in this game (official premise); results do not. Give unknowns a city to hold or a line to break — the official page itself asks “Who can hold a province? Who can break the enemy line?”
- Watch for signature brilliance. Skill “remains undiminished” (official) — standout performance from a nobody is the tell.
- Restore early, use often. A restored name presumably unlocks the general’s full value (community inference) — identification is not trivia, it is power.
- Keep a roster ledger. Outside the game, note who did what; your own notes are the identification system’s best friend. (community suggestion)
