Sangokushi

Game Details:

The "Sangokushi" series is a historical simulation game set in the era of warlords in the late Eastern Han Dynasty of China. The first game was released in 1985, and it has been continuously iterated and updated since then. The gameplay of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" revolves around "internal affairs + diplomacy + war," encompassing complex elements from city management, resource allocation, talent management, to troop deployment and strategic planning.

The game includes hundreds of historical generals, strategists, and rulers, such as Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Quan, and Zhuge Liang, each with different attributes and special skills. Players need to rationally assign positions and tasks based on the characteristics of each general, while also managing relationships with other forces, including alliances, instigation, and rebellion through diplomatic strategies.

Each installment of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" optimizes the system and graphics. For example, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms IX" features real-time battles on a large map, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms XI" introduces a combat system, and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms XII" implements card-based command operations, all of which make the game's strategy more varied.

Editor's Recommendation:

As a series game spanning decades, "Sangokushi" not only has overwhelming advantages in gameplay depth and strategy, but also becomes a masterpiece in the hearts of many strategy players with its rigorous historical restoration and highly free gameplay. Whether you want to recreate Liu Bei's Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage or rewrite the history of the Battle of Red Cliffs, you can achieve it in the game.

Recommended for players who like deep strategy, historical themes, and role-playing. "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is not a fast-food game, but a work that requires investment of time and thought. It will take you to experience the true way of "winning by wisdom" and "using people as using soldiers."

Game Guide:

I. Early Development Suggestions

• Choose a suitable ruler: Newbies are advised to choose factions with abundant initial resources such as Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Quan to reduce management difficulty.
• General management: Prioritize promoting generals with high "intelligence" to handle internal affairs (such as Zhuge Liang and Jia Xu), and generals with high force for conquest (such as Guan Yu and Lu Bu).
• City Development: Rationally build agricultural, commercial, security, and training facilities in the city to ensure the growth of resources, soldiers, and public morale.

II. Mid-Term Expansion Strategies

• Defection and Subversion: Sending strategists to subvert enemy generals or incite rebellion is an important way to expand without loss.
• Alliances and Wars: Form alliances in a timely manner to avoid being attacked on both sides, and concentrate firepower to defeat neighboring forces one by one.
• Use terrain: Terrain such as mountains, waters, and passes can be used for ambushes or defenses, which is the key to victory when military strength is inferior.

III. Late-Game Unification Techniques

• Unification Route: Prioritize unifying an area (such as Jingzhou, Yizhou) to form a stable rear before gradually advancing.
• Advanced Construction: In the later stages, you can invest money in advanced building construction (such as gunpowder depots and iron cable bridges) to improve combat capabilities.
• Ultimate Diplomacy: Complete diplomatic layout before unification through means such as marriage, gift-giving, and threats to reduce unnecessary conflicts.
