I only mentioned Koihime Musou since its somewhat similar, its quite different as there is no strategic element besides in the battlefield that ends up being a "rock-paper-scissors" ... or so I heard.

There are other games with some strategic elements, as Utawarerumono were is more of a RPG that anything and Tears to Tiara that is similar to Utawarerumono, except worst besides now allowing us to XP farm and having equipment but the actual combat mechanics are so god awful (so bad its PS3 version gone to turn based) that is not a plus ... and FARtoo much Ermin.

Oh and in case anyone is wondering Fenix screenshoots are Sengoku Hime.

The tutorial in this game is cheesy but fun. It's nice that they put a little effort into it. I greatly wish that I didn't know the PUK kit exists, since I hate playing any version of a game except the latest. But oh well.

Definitely over. It's been over really. Once you get past the initial build up stage and win a couple crucial battles, the game becomes incredibly easy. The fact he is a good player only exacerbates this.

Many strategy games suffer from the problem.

So, uh, is RK47 emperor now and he's won, basically, or will there be mop-up updates?

Good LP regardless :salute:

I really can't muster the effort to mop them up. I mean...what can they do? The AI's botched as hell. They refuse to surrender, but they're still allied. So .....nothing happens till I break alliance with Yuan Tan's remnants. I'm sorry it went so flat in the end, the game's an absolute blast when things go against you, but when you start dominating, you can forget about losing. Ever.

Great LP, well done to finish it :salute:

I can understand stopping here, all RTK games (and really, half the strategy games out there) suffer from the fact that once you are a sizable, established force you just can't lose. Arguably once you established a solid foothold with 5-6 cities it was game over, even before you took out Liu Zhang and Cao Cao. When you're able to field full size (50k+) armies with the likes of Zhuge Liang it's God Mode, really. I remember my most enjoyable play with RTK is when I picked Liu Bei in 201, in that single city, and fended off Cao Cao's forces 10 times larger in the mountain bottleneck.

(How did Jia Xu live that long, anyway? He's like 60 when you start.)
