Item Description

Few games ask for as much patience as Romance of the Three Kingdoms II, and few repay it so generously. Koei's grand-strategy classic drops you into the collapse of the Han dynasty, the age of warlords immortalized in Luo Guanzhong's 14th-century novel, and hands you a single ruler with a single goal: unite China, one province at a time.

You take the role of a lord drawn from the novel's cast, from ambitious powers like Cao Cao to the righteous Liu Bei, and every turn becomes a ledger of decisions. How hard can you tax before the people turn on you? Is this the season to develop your land or to recruit and train more troops? Which officers deserve a reward to keep them loyal, and which neighbor should you court with an alliance before you turn on him? When diplomacy runs out, armies take to the battlefield, and the generals you chose to lead them matter as much as the size of the force behind them.

The campaign is built around five chronological scenarios. The first opens with China at its most fractured, while the last finds the land nearly carved up between three great generals, and the victory conditions shift with each one. Finish any scenario but the fifth and the game rolls straight into the next, or you can start wherever the history interests you most. Up to eight players can take turns at the same cartridge, and since only one can unify the country, a long evening of shared strategy has a way of turning into a long evening of betrayal.

The original appeared on Japanese computers in 1989, and this Super Nintendo version brought its slow, deep, text-heavy brand of empire building to a 16-bit cartridge. Koei Tecmo still makes the series today, and the same source material fuels its Dynasty Warriors games, but here is where you can play the series' early formula of provinces, officers and shifting loyalties in its purest form, and watch the map slowly turn your color.

About the game

The player takes control of a master, a general capable of commanding as many states as he can acquire, and, if successful, unifies China. As many as eight may play, but only one can succeed. There are five chronologically arranged scenarios. The first has China in its most disorganized period and the last has virtually all of China controlled by one of three generals. The precise requirements for success in each of these scenarios differs, but in all cases the goal is to rule as many states as possible. After the completion of any scenario but number five the game will automatically advance to the next. You may start the game at any scenario.
