You can improve cities, draft troops, build weapons, search for useful people. After that, the game begins.Īs a ruler, you have a lot of freedom.
In the beginning of the game you choose whether you want historical or random conditions, and the time period. Well, what did you expect? I mean, who wouldn't want all of China for himself? Anyone? There is an ambitious warlord, Cao Cao, who wants to reunite China, but he is not alone.
The collapse of the Han dynasty has created chaos of unforeseen complexity, and China is now divided into many small states. You begin with one territory and you must conquer more to win the game. The country is under the control of one Emperor, but all of the faction leaders want to be the emperor themselves. In this case the historical setting is ancient China.
The concept is the same here as in Koei's other wargames: conquer all you can! Romance of the Three Kingdoms III: Dragon of Destiny is another strategy game by Koei.
