"Romance of the Three Kingdoms IV" is a historical simulation strategy game released by KOEI in 1994, and is the fourth installment in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" series.
Romance of the Three Kingdoms IV simplifies and beautifies the operation interface compared to the previous three installments, making it more suitable for beginner and intermediate players. The game includes various scenarios, from the Yellow Turban Rebellion to the Three Kingdoms period, each with detailed general configurations and map layouts. The general system is more abundant, introducing the "Favorability" setting for the first time, which affects the interaction and loyalty between generals. The battle part supports the separation of outdoor battles and indoor siege battles, making it more strategic. In the diplomacy system, functions such as alliances, discord, and defection are also more important, enhancing the player's enjoyment of global control.
Romance of the Three Kingdoms IV is a classic "entry-level" strategy game, which not only retains the historical depth and tactical breadth of the series, but also further optimizes the gameplay experience. Compared to the previous three installments, this game has more refined graphics, more epic music, and interaction logic that is more in line with modern player habits. In particular, the diplomacy and intelligence systems are impressive, with endless strategies such as discord, defection, and marriage alliances. Whether you are an old player or a novice, this work is worth a try: it not only restores classic battles such as the Battle of Chibi and the Battle of Guandu, but also provides a highly free power management gameplay, bringing an immersive experience of the "Way of the Overlord."
At the beginning, you must concentrate resources to improve agriculture and commerce to ensure the supply of food and money. It is recommended to give priority to improving "Public Order" to prevent riots, and then expand the army after stabilization.
Generals are divided into internal affairs type, combat type, and diplomacy type. When appointing, you must "use talent according to ability." For example: Zhuge Liang is suitable for internal affairs and tactics, and Zhang Fei is suitable for front-line combat. Increase loyalty through "banquets" and "generous rewards."
"Fire Attack", "Water Attack", "Falling Rocks" can defeat the enemy in one fell swoop in battle. Pay attention to weather and terrain restrictions. Having intelligent generals (such as Pang Tong, Jia Xu) can significantly improve the success rate.
Use the "Diplomacy" function to form an alliance with neighboring powers to reduce head-on conflicts; at the same time, you can implement "discord" and "provocation" against the enemy to weaken its strength.
Do not expand blindly. You should advance steadily outwards and reasonably control the length of the front line. After capturing each city, give priority to development before considering the next attack target.
