I will start by saying I own every game in this series and have beat them all except this one, if you make your own leader and appoint him officers with 99 for every ability you will still get slammed over and over again by the barbarians they attack far to offen and make it impossible to build up your army, you start with unevenly 7,ooo men, they start with 3oo,ooo, honest huh? Did i mention that if you defeat their units in the field you CAN’T capture there officers so thety simply suddenly appear back at there castle reload and come right back out, they should have given an option to play without them cause it seroiusly takes away from winning a battle gaining no prisoners, or winning a duel and having the officer suddenly start marching 20,ooo more men at you the next turn, the other regular cities are beatable but as far as i can tell the barbarian require cheating or unlimited man potential or a miracle. i can tell in 30 or so hours is that the barbarians only attack YOU never the other cities. I tried making my city far from them and rather than attack the several cities occupied next to them they march half way across CHINA!!! to attack me and i never even had any dialog or dealing to draw there rage, someone clarify that to me… well excellent luck cause your gonna need it.

Anyone who thinks this game is dull or something to that degree has obviously not read the book. Romance of the Three Kingdoms IX is easily the most involving, deep and fufilling Romance yet. You start out in the fashion every ROTK and DW does, duking it out in the midst of the Golden-haired Turban Rebellion. If by chance you have naught the knowledge of this history event, this is the jist of it. In the year 184, the followers of a religious group known as the Way of Peace, was led by their leader Zhang Jiao into battle against the Han Dynasty and He Jin as a revolt against their corrupt ways. You can be Zhang Jiao, you can be He Jin, or you can be both. In fact, you can even make your own, original troop with made officers. Regarless, you feel more like a semi-god than the commander, considering you order all officers at all times, including the commander of your forces.
If you choose Zhang Jiao for this first feud, you’re in for a pleasent bolt from the blue, your troops greatly outnumber the Han’s. If you choose He Jin but, you also have an advanatage but in a different category- officer. With such elite officers as Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Sun Jian, and Cao Cao you may find that as the edge to push you past the superior numbers of the Turbans. Defeat your opponent, whoever they may be, and you win.
Still, throwing a mad-rush and your opponent just won’t do if you want to unify China. Draft soldiers to encrease the potential of your army, but try only to draft the needed amount or a bit more- it negatively affects you standing. Then, be sure to work up your farming and trade, as well as patrol the city as frequently as possible. If you have rather few cities, it may also be a excellent thought to buy food whenever the oppurtunity present itself. Then, if you have excess officers, search around the city with them; there never should be an inactive officer, or, at least there should never be not anything for them to do. Whether you do it or not is your gain or loss. And all that I just said; merely a snapshot of the incredible and involving depth of this game.
Even if you haven’t read the book, if you’re just looking for an exceptional approach game this is one of the best. People may have qualms about the graphics, which are far from up to date, but as you play you realize the graphics are easily excellent enough, and notice the finer points of the sports meeting appearence, such as the perfectly drawn officer portraits. For any approach fan, definately buy this game; even if you haven’t read the book or don’t know a thing about Chinese history. Though there’s something extra knowing you’re reliving history, your way.

He who wishes to fight must first count the cost. When you engage in actual fighting, if victory is long in coming, then men’s weapons will grow dull and their ardor will be dampened. If you lay siege to a town, you will exhaust your strength. Again, if the campaign is protracted, the resources of the State will not be equal to the strain. Now, when your weapons are dulled, your ardor dampened, your strength exhausted and your treasure spent, other chieftains will spring up to take advantage of your extremity. Then no man, but wise, will be able to avert the consequences that must ensue… In war, then, let your splendid object be victory, not lengthy campaigns.
I have only played RTK 7,8, and 9. Out of the three, I delight in playing this game the most. Why? you may question, here’s why:
1. You can load made characters from RTK 8 and have stats of 100!!! (You can then change the name if desired.)
2. You can have up to 100 made characters in one city to start with.
3. AI is more hard
4. Simple to know tuturial and manual.
That’s my top three reasons for this game. I have read many articles relating to this game and have found out so much information about this game, so I have chose to write a tale about it. I havent read the book yet. Whenever I have enough time to read over 12000 pages, I’ll do it.
I do have a questions that I’m hoping someone will answer.
1. How do you use the “Heal tactic”?
2. Which of the foriegn tribes are the simplest to beat and how?
3. Is it possible to use Cao Cao?
Basically that’s about all the information I can grant. This is my first review, so I hope it helps someone. I do recommend this game to any statedgy lover and all RTK fans (both beginners and vets)
If there is anyone interested in reading what I have writng so far, I will be more than pleased to send a copy.

This review was written by my son, James Shea
The smarter cousin of Koei’s Dynasty Warriors series, RotTK takes the setting of Dynasty Warriors – namely, the Three Kingdoms cycle, the end of the Han Dynasty in China. Whereas Dynasty Warriors is about brute strength and button mashing, RotTK is a deeply involved series that requires a huge amount of thinking and plotting. RotTK IX is one of the rare English-translated RotTK sports meeting.
The player takes the role of one of the warring faction leaders in China’s history. Starting usually with only a small holding of the 40-odd major cities in China, the player works his way owing to the countryside, using his officers to increase his holdings and fortify his positions. There is a splendid variety of assignments for your officers – besides obvious military actions, there are diplomatic and dissident solutions to problems. The magnitude of assignments is staggering and complex; when dealing with an enemy city, do you attempt to make peace? Is peace too unlikely, and thus you must weaken their resolve before attempting it? Do you ignore peace entirely and lay siege to their fortress? Are your numbers strong enough for that? Will another ruler attempt to take advantage of your conflict and hit you from behind? These are the kinds of issues present in the game.
The gameplay is a micromanaging stylishness – assign your officers to different tasks, ranging from domestic affairs to improving the city they are in to preparing for war. The main goal is, of course, conquest, and most of the options are meant to head towards that. Different officers are better at different things, and some you may wish to make civilian ministers, while others you will make generals of your armies. Keeping track of your cities and their stats – how much food they have, how much the people like you, how much defense has been built – is vital. On occasion, you must penetrate battle as well; this is done by selecting some officers, assigning troops to them, and choosing formations and tactics. While you cannot interfere directly in battles, you can choose how the soldiers should fight. Knowing your enemy is a excellent trait, as it helps you pick the right kind of formations to use.
The option exists to make your own officer (a hallmark of the RotTK series). There are many tactical considerations to make, but also the officer’s personality – what they regard, and how they behave – can be customized, as well. In addition to the regular conquest mode (already honestly customizable, with different campaigns for different years and events) the option also exists to do more specific scenarios with certain goals.
The graphics are of a 2d sprite stylishness – well illustrated and accurate (with realistic proportions on visible characters, unlike many other sprite sports meeting), they make the proper mood for the game. Every character has a custom likeness as well, done in a gorgeous artistic stylishness.The sound is impressive; there is voice acting only at certain points (narration for campaign modes) which is done in authentic Chinese. The music is atmospheric at times and bombastic at others. The quality of the music is very excellent as well, with lots of classical instruments.
This game is very complex, and fans of the Dynasty Warriors sports meeting or the Romance of the Three Kingdoms novels may find themselves confused because of its steep learning curve. But, if you can get into it and puzzle it out (with the help of the solid in-game tutorial), this game is certainly worth it.
