[h2]Set Sail With Zheng He's Treasure Fleet![/h2]


Get involved in the new Remembrance of Ming's Past adventure—an interactive retelling of the historical voyages of explorer Zheng He.

As you trace the treasure fleet's path through the waters of Southern Asia, you'll start collecting some treasures of your own, including a commemorative flag and patch. Complete combat mission chains to earn Adventure Tokens, which can in turn be exchanged for Ming’s Voyage Tokens in the Armory. With these, you can unlock historical Commander Zheng He and Pan-Asian battleship Taihang with her new Chinese Treasure Ship permanent camouflage.

You can also spend Adventure Tokens directly on themed items that will become available later in Update 14.1, including Finest Hour and Battle of Java Sea containers.
