Domestic administration, warfare, diplomacy and stratagems all revolve around managing and competing for land.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe basic system puts you in control of a ruler on a single map. A simultaneous-planning system advances the game through alternating strategy and progression phases.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuilding on Romance of the Three Kingdoms IX, which remains firmly popular with series fans, this entry develops and deepens its approach. Simple yet profound gameplay lets you shape strategies throughout China as you wish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn a vast, beautifully depicted map, read the intricately intertwined battle situation and draw the best front line to seize enemy territory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore than one thousand Three Kingdoms heroes appear, including famous generals, strategists, military figures and the remarkable women who bloom amid a turbulent age.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompete for territory without borders\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDraw the front lines and paint the entire continent in your own color.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe single map is divided into small land areas. Each is a strategic unit that provides both a basis for income and a supply line. Competing for these areas—building and destroying front lines—is the heart of strategy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery faction can freely expand its front lines beyond city-controlled areas and borders. Use every available means to protect your own land while breaking into enemy territory and strengthening your faction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompetition for land is represented by competing colors on the map. This simplifies seemingly complex strategic elements into a contest of colors: how to spread your own color is the game's basic idea.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pleasure of expanding your territory is portrayed with greater precision, freedom and immediacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn earlier games, expanding a faction depended on capturing cities, so the focus was on attacking and defending points around those cities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere, expansion depends on securing land. Deciding where to establish the front and how far to penetrate enemy territory turns the focus toward attack and defense across areas, with front lines pushing against one another.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOfficers whose words and actions express their personalities\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe officers display the strongest sense of individuality in the series.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoth military affairs and domestic administration use simultaneous planning and assigned officers. Officers carry out your instructions in ways that show their distinctive character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach officer has characteristic traits, demonstrating a unique presence and bringing varied changes to the battle situation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnite these individual officers and place the right person in the right position as you plan your strategy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOfficers in cities, as well as those deployed in the field, actively make proposals and express their views. Their suggestions concern military affairs, domestic administration and many other elements, influencing your strategy and sometimes completely changing the course of a battle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA different experience with every ruler\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdministration broadens your strategic options. Each faction establishes an administrative organization that determines its direction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is represented by an organizational chart. Assigning officers to that chart grants a faction its own effects and commands.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe chart's structure differs according to the ruler's doctrine, so the experience varies greatly from ruler to ruler.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEven within the same faction, the strategies available can vary enormously according to the administration you establish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMake full use of your officers to customize a faction to the strategies you envision, chart your own course and win victory. This is one of the game's central pleasures.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Koei Tecmo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67622244483437,"sku":"HT-GAME-4988615128332","price":31.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0997\/9700\/8749\/files\/hobbytiger-game-playstation-4-romance-of-the-three-kingdoms-xiv-cover.jpg?v=1791248486","url":"https:\/\/www.hobbytiger.net\/products\/playstation-4-romance-of-the-three-kingdoms-xiv","provider":"HobbyTiger.net","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
