China's Second Han Dynasty is on the verge of collapse. Infighting among the court families and the emergence of powerful warriors dominates the landscape. The struggle for power has brought about an era known as the "Three Kingdoms" - complete with constant warfare among China's most courageous and skillful heroes. As a ruler during these difficult times, it is your avowed goal to unify a country torn apart by rebellion. Expand your kingdom by building a strong military, or try outsmarting your rivals during negotiations. With exciting new weapons - including automatic firing crossbows and catapults - you can engage your opponents out in the open or from behind strong fortified walls. Don't forget, though, that a ruler's strength is measured not only by military prowess but also by his economic might and the good faith of his subjects!
