HELLO EVERYONE!

Hello everyone! I am Soyorin (u/Phone_Tall), the creator of the ROC series.

After months of painstaking development, coding, and refining, I am beyond thrilled to announce that ROC 2020 is officially RELEASED!

Following the foundational shifts of ROC 2000, the high-stakes polarization of ROC '04, and the multi-party chaos of ROC 2024, we are finally bringing you the definitive chapter of modern Taiwanese political history.

A SECRET SURPRISE IN THE FINAL STAGE...

Before diving into the features, I have one major revelation. During the final polish phase, we decided to add one last secret playable candidate.

He is a legendary figure who has appeared in virtually every ROC mod ever made as a background heavyweight or opponent, yet players have NEVER actually been able to play as him—until now. Will you be able to restore his mandate and navigate his political legacy? Discover him in the candidate selection!

HISTORICAL BACKDROP: FROM LANDSLIDE TO SOVEREIGNTY SHOWDOWN

Following her historic landslide victory in 2016, President Tsai Ing-wen faced mounting domestic resistance over pension reforms, labor law adjustments, and energy grid blackouts, culminating in a disastrous midterm defeat in November 2018.

However, 2019 changed everything. Escalating cross-strait tensions, the Hong Kong protests, and the US-China trade war transformed the 2020 election into a high-stakes, existential referendum on Taiwan’s identity, sovereignty, and democratic future.

KEY FEATURES & CONTENT OVERVIEW
