Based on information from the Chinese Mount & Blade forum, the Afdian crowdfunding platform, the official Modding Discord, Game Research Society, and GOLIA Corporation, most players have been able to piece together the full sequence of events. The overall narrative is now largely clear. As such, this thread will officially stop updating.
This incident has had an unprecedented impact on the Mount & Blade community, with a wide range of victims. These include, but are not limited to, players who participated in the Yigu Three Kingdoms crowdfunding, modders at large, users who purchased Aeworlri’s modeling courses, employees of GOLIA Corporation, and the dedicative developers within the Yigu Studio. Furthermore, unrelated individuals and groups, such as Total War modder Wuyin Canxue, translation teams, and other companies or individuals affected by Aeworlri’s exaggerated claims, have also been dragged into the controversy. The ramifications for the broader modding community are shocking and regrettable.
For further developments, please wait patiently for an official response from TaleWorlds’ Community Managers. Given the unprecedented nature of this incident, it may take some time for the necessary processes to unfold.

首先,负责发行与宣传衣谷三国模组的骑砍中文站在 2025 年 1 月 3 日于其 BILIBILI 官方账号发布了道歉。
随后,事件进一步发酵,日本 GOLIA 株式会社 CEO LI HAO 在百度贴吧发帖“Aeworl-ri 从来也不是 GOLIA 株式会社的正式员工”,澄清了 GOLIA 株式会社与丹麦 R 社(尽管其并未公开说明,但很可能是下文中提到的 RawPowerGames)的合作,也未曾参与过《对马岛之魂》项目,声称这种行为无法容忍,也是其作为公司管理者的巨大失职,正式与 Aeworlri 切割并向广大的骑马与砍杀玩家道歉。与此同时 GOLIA 官方网站上关于 LIU JINGYU 的部分被正式删除。

日本 GOLIA 株式会社的 CEO LI HAO 的声明进一步揭示,Aeworlri 涉嫌利用其伪造的履历,通过 Golia 株式会社(未经证实的和丹麦 RawPowerGames) 的名义进行宣传。然而,其范围不仅涉及了《衣谷三国》的众筹,也还包括其在 ABOUTCG 等网站销售的 3D 建模课程。这些行为已构成严重的欺诈和误导。
在 2025 年 1 月 7 日,中国知名游戏媒体游研社向《王者荣耀》制作组求证了Aeworlri(刘靖宇)自称为“刘备、赵云”设计师的履历,得到的答复是:“不认识这位朋友。”
该事件也正式升级成为距今为止骑马与砍杀社区历史上涉及金额最大的金融欺诈事件。
- 关于“金融欺诈”通常指故意通过虚假或误导性信息从他人处获取经济利益的行为。在这段文字中:
- 如果 Aeworlri 确实利用伪造身份履历、错误宣传等方式获取投资人或用户资金,并且无法合理交付承诺的项目成果,那么可归类为金融欺诈。
- 但如果仅是项目管理失败或未能达成预期(例如由于技术或团队问题),并非主观故意欺诈,则不应简单认定为“金融欺诈”。

然而根据中国众筹网站爱发电在衣谷三国众筹页面上的官方声明显示:
- 爱发电不对众筹交付做任何保证,支付订单代表你愿意承担众筹风险
- 众筹是支持创作者实现创意的过程,不是商品交易,请对创作者提供的信息谨慎做出甄别;
- 创作者如果延迟发放回报、不发放回报、不提供回报后续服务,需要你直接联系创作者解决;
According to the project introduction thread on the Chinese Mount & Blade forum (bbs.mountblade.com.cn), the Yigu Three Kingdoms mod was initiated by Aeworlri in March 2020. A screenshot from the mod’s release page on the Chinese M&B forum shows that Aeworlri’s Bilibili profile describes him as the 3D artist at Golia Corporation Japan and a 3D artist for Powergame, with experience in creating 3D character models for Sony’s first-party title Ghost of Tsushima. Under this background, coupled with the Chinese Mount & Blade forum’s extensive promotion, Yigu Three Kingdoms successfully raised nearly 68,000.00 USD (65,303.20 EUR), setting a historical record for crowdfunding in the Mount & Blade modding community. However, the project soon became highly controversial due to a large number of bugs in the mod and doubts about the authenticity of Aeworlri’s credentials, including his claimed participation in titles such as Ghost of Tsushima, Assassin's Creed, Total War: Three Kingdoms, The Elder Scrolls VI, Watch Dogs, and Conqueror’s Blade.
On January 3, 2025, the Chinese Mount & Blade forum issued an apology on its official Bilibili account, acknowledging the issues surrounding the mod’s promotion and release.
The controversy escalated when Li Hao, CEO of Golia Corporation Japan, posted on Baidu Tieba, stating that “Aeworlri has never been an official employee of Golia Corporation.” He clarified that the company the cooperation with the Danish studio R (likely RawPowerGames) and had no involvement in the Ghost of Tsushima project. He labeled these actions intolerable and a significant managerial oversight on his part, announcing a formal severance from Aeworlri and issuing an apology to the broader Mount & Blade community. Meanwhile, the section about LIU JINGYU on the GOLIA official website has been officially removed.
Li Hao’s statement further revealed that Aeworlri allegedly used fabricated credentials and falsely leveraged Golia Corporation and (Danish RawPowerGame, unverified)to promote his work. However, this includes not only the Yigu Three Kingdoms crowdfunding campaign but also the sale of 3D modeling courses on platforms like ABOUTCG. These activities constitute serious fraud and deception.
On January 7, 2025, China's renowned gaming media outlet Game Research Society reached out to the Honor of Kings development team to verify Aeworlri (Liu Jingyu)'s claim of being the designer of "Liu Bei and Zhao Yun." The response they received was, "We don't know this buddy."
This incident has officially become the largest financial fraud in the history of the Mount & Blade community, both in scale and impact.
- Does it meet the definition of “financial fraud”?
- Financial fraud generally refers to deliberately obtaining financial benefits from others through false or misleading information.
- If Aeworlri indeed misrepresented their identity or provided false promotional information to acquire funds from investors or users and failed to deliver on promised results, it may constitute financial fraud.
- However, if the failure was due to management issues, technical challenges, or team difficulties rather than intentional deception, it should not be categorized as fraud.
However, according to the afdian's official statement on the Yigu Three Kingdoms crowdfunding page on the Chinese crowdfunding platform Afdian:
- Afdian does not guarantee any crowdfunding delivery.
- Payment of an order represents your willingness to assume the risks of crowdfunding.
Crowdfunding is a process of supporting creators to realize their creative projects, not a commercial transaction. Please carefully verify the information provided by the creator. - If the creator delays or fails to deliver the reward, does not deliver the reward as promised, or does not provide follow-up services, you will need to contact the creator directly to resolve the issue.
The prospects for safeguarding rights in this case appear to be bleak.
众筹情况调查/ The Investigation into Yigu Studio's Crowdfunding

According to their crowdfunding project on afdian.com (a Chinese crowdfunding website similar to Kickstarter), they have raised 265,836.80 yuan. Additionally, as stated in their official statement, they received a 200,000.00 yuan donation from an anonymous player privately, bringing the total amount raised to 465,836.80 yuan, which is approximately 63,756.37 USD.
衣谷三国相关情况介绍/ Information about the Yigu Three Kingdoms Project

根据中国 CG 教程教学社区 ABOUTCG 的个人资料页面显示,Aeworlri 是丹麦工作室 RawPowerGame DLC 的负责人和 3D 艺术家,曾担任日本 G 社游戏事业部总监。与此同时,他也是空灵阁兵人设计师和朝天鸢工作室的联合创始人。Aeworlri 熟练使用多种三维软件,能够独立创作 3D 模型作品,并且在写实模型制作和渲染方面有一定的涉猎。
根据中国官方媒体人民网报道:“刘靖宇是一位游戏从业者,热门游戏《王者荣耀》中赵云、刘备的英雄设计就出自他之手。如今,他与朋友一起成立了衣谷作坊,想要创造心中理想的三国游戏世界。演讲中,他为观众带来了自己设计的三国背景下网络游戏的人物形象与武器设计。刘靖宇介绍,这么多年来,三国题材的游戏一直是游戏制作者眼中的香饽饽,不仅日韩两国制作出的三国游戏品类多样,连欧美国家的游戏也有吸收三国历史文化。“一方面说明了三国文化的生命力旺盛,尤其是经典战役对游戏制作的借鉴很有意义。另一方面,其他国家的游戏制作起步早,但是对三国文化的诠释有所偏差,作为中国的年轻人,我们更应该打造一个承载国人精神理想的三国文化游戏,把游戏打造成表达三国文化的艺术产品。”
根据骑砍中文站官方推特账户消息,原预定计划在北京时间 2025 年 1 月 1 日 14:00 发布衣谷三国模组,出于某种原因(传言是因为着色器编译)延期至下午 19:30,随后因其品质问题、大量的 BUG 问题及开发团队相关有争议的言论,在骑砍贴吧、骑砍中文站、小黑盒骑砍分区等骑马与砍杀中国社区引发巨大争议。
It is reported that the Yigu Three Kingdoms mod was initiated by Aeworlri in March 2020. According to Aeworlri's personal Twitter, Aeworlri has previously participated in 3D art modeling for Ghost of Tsushima. According to the official introduction post on the Chinese Mount & Blade forum, the Yigu Three Kingdoms production team consists of experienced developers and enthusiasts from both domestic and international gaming companies.
According to the profile page on the Chinese CG tutorial community ABOUTCG, Aeworlri is the head of RawPowerGame DLC at the Danish studio and a 3D artist. He has previously served as the director of the gaming division at Japan's G Corporation. Additionally, he is a designer at Konglingge and a co-founder of Chaotian Kite Studio. Aeworlri is skilled in using various 3D software and is capable of independently creating 3D models. He also has experience in realistic model creation and rendering.
According to a report from China's official media outlet, People's Daily Online: "Liu Jingyu is a game industry professional, known for designing the characters Zhao Yun and Liu Bei in the popular game Honor of Kings. Now, he has partnered with friends to establish Yigu Studio, with the goal of creating the ideal Three Kingdoms game world that he envisions. During his speech, he introduced the character designs and weapon concepts for an online game set in the Three Kingdoms background, all of which were designed by him. Liu Jingyu explained that for many years, Three Kingdoms-themed games have been highly sought after by game developers. Not only have Japan and Korea produced a wide variety of Three Kingdoms games, but even European and American games have incorporated elements of Three Kingdoms history and culture. 'On one hand, this shows the vitality of Three Kingdoms culture, especially how classic battles have provided valuable references for game design. On the other hand, while game development in other countries started earlier, their interpretation of Three Kingdoms culture has been somewhat skewed. As young people in China, we should focus on creating a Three Kingdoms cultural game that embodies the spirit and ideals of our nation, turning it into an artistic product that expresses Three Kingdoms culture.'"
According to the official Twitter account of the Mount & Blade Chinese Forum, the release of the "Yigu Three Kingdoms" mod, originally scheduled for 14:00 Beijing time on January 1, 2025, was postponed to 19:30 for unknown reasons (It's rumored to be because of the shader precompilation.). Following the delay, the mod faced significant criticism due to quality issues, numerous bugs and controversial statements from the development team, sparking a massive controversy across the Mount & Blade Chinese community, including forums such as the Mount & Blade Baidu Tieba, Mount & Blade Chinese Forum, and the Xiaohei Box M&B section.
