Then Emperor Huan passed away, and Emperor Ling ascended the throne. Emperor Huan imprisoned many gentlemen of talent, and put the palace eunuchs on a pedestal. If one were to deduce the origins of the Han Dynasty's decline, one might start with Emperor Huan and Emperor Ling. After that, control of the empire was maintained through the generations until the time of Emperor Xian, whereupon the empire divided into three kingdoms. Later on, Emperor Guangwu reestablished control of the country. The Han Dynasty had ruled over a unified empire ever since Emperor Gaozu chopped a white serpent in half. Similarly, after the Qin Dynasty was destroyed, Chu and Han vied for supremacy, and became a part of the Han Dynasty. At the end of the Zhou Dynasty, seven kingdoms vied for supremacy, and became part of the Qin Dynasty. I give it 4 out of 5.It is a general truism of this world that anything long divided will surely unite, and anything long united will surely divide. It's excellent! A real classic, very well-balanced and very replayable. I can think of only one downside, and that is the AI, which can be a little dumb. The good thing is that while the game is realistic, it isn’t all that complicated, which is where I think its greatness lies. It’s hard to describe, but it’s rather simple to understand.
Romance of the three kingdoms plus#
You can arm your soldiers with crossbows, give them horses, etc.Īlso, another plus for this game is the interesting battle system which more or less repeats itself in most of KOEI's games. Even a small, well-trained elite force can successfully defend your city against a large army consisting of untrained peasants. The military is also important, and I’d say it’s quite accurate. Also, you may hire soldiers instead of drafting them. giving gifts (giving out food for free), or else they may decide you’re not quite the ruler they’d like to work for and rebel. You simply must buy their favour by brib- erm. Speaking of people, you must (just like every good ruler) care even about ordinary people. by giving them an item which will increase their strength) to increase their loyalty, change their positions (make a military officer a civil officer, etc.) or fire them. One can never have enough skilled officials. People are an important part of the game. nothing too fabulous, but I always enjoy such details in a game. When you send someone to negotiate, you can see how the whole negotiation process goes on - it’s like a short dialogue.
Advisors are important too, as they can make decisions in state matters much easier.Ī small detail I like in particular is diplomacy. Naturally, most of these things are done by someone else, so you have to choose the right people to do the right things. Simply put, you have a lot of things you can do.
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.
