SYSTEM

The number of officers is greatly increased from approximately 600 in ROMANCE OF THE THREE KINGDOMS VIII to 1,000. New forces have also been added, and new story directions and relationships between officers are depicted.

The "All Officers Play" feature allows all officers to be playable, including the rulers who lead the forces, the officers who serve them, and those who are not affiliated with any particular force. Play through the Three Kingdoms period while deepening relationships through sworn siblings, marriage, and more.

At the "Parliament" held once every three months, rulers and governors determine the management policies of the country and cities. Sometimes those decisions influence the future direction of forces through diplomacy and battles with other countries.

Accomplish the tasks given in the "Parliament" and achieve results. When cooperating with an officer with a close relationship, "Link Forged" occurs and players can aim for greater results. In addition, players can spend their time as they wish, earning rewards after accomplishing requests received at taverns, inquire at various spots to hear what civilians have to say, and interacting with other officers at home.

The turn-based system that allows players to calmly give directions is carried forth. A single map integrates field and siege battles, and the rules, which are easy to play even for beginners, remain while the balance and tempo of the game have been greatly improved. In battles that begin in accordance with the war council's decisions, players can achieve great results through "Link Forged" with close officers.

In the new feature “Tales”, which enriches the relationship between officers, players are shown the conditions and results of events. Players can start or avoid events as they like, and it allows them to check “what to do next” and use it for guidance in gameplay.

The new feature "Destiny" is introduced. The relationship between officers is not only historical depictions, but also more dramatic, as destined partners will change depending on how the gameplay unfolds.

The new feature, "Relationship Chart," clearly displays the relationships and "Destiny" of officers. In addition to sworn siblings and spouses, the relationship chart also allows players to instantly identify officers who are friendly. Through the constantly changing relationship chart, players can enjoy a more dramatic life.

As the relationship between officers deepens, "Link Forged" occurs in battles and missions. Officers can receive large bonuses for their actions. The deeper the relationship between officers, the greater the effect on domestics and in battle.
