 Game Description

With Ancient China as the backdrop, Romance of the Three Kingdoms IX chronicles the events of the 2nd and 3rd century, when a once grand empire fell into civil war. Romance of the Three Kingdoms IX is vastly different from previous games in the series. Most notably, players immediately assume the rank of a Ruler. Traditionally reserved as the highest rank in the series, the role of Ruler will test your leadership, management, and strategy skills.

Combat in Romance of the Three Kingdoms IX takes place at a much faster pace than in previous installments. Negotiate political and military affairs at the same time, and use diplomacy while under attack or shift strategies against enemy units in the midst of combat.

Foreign tribes now play a pivotal role and can help players protect their dominion. The Wuwan, Xi Qing, Shanyue, and Nanman tribes have powerful armies, yet they refrain from expanding their own territories. Build relations with a tribe, and they may aid you in battle. Declare a war against a tribe, and they may attack.

  • Diplomacy and strategy game set in the 2nd and 3rd Centuries in China
  • 15 historical, 5 fictional, and 5 challenge scenarios with multiple endings
  • Develop skills and abilities with the Officer Development System of points
  • See all of China in a single map to track troop movements and monitor enemies
  • For 1 to 8 players

Game Informer Review

Not everyone's got what it takes to be Emperor; if you don't have the patience to micromanage dozens of villages, officers, and troops, then stay away from this game. In this ninth installment of the series, the player immediately starts in the rank of Ruler, allowing (nay, requiring!) complete control over the daily affairs of the armies and cities. Even though the game is amazingly deep and intricate, it doesn't change the fact that it's also rather dry. Imagine you're "playing" a Chinese History textbook; it's about that much fun, but it's also that detailed and involved.
