Let's play. . .
Romance of the Three Kingdoms 11 is a turn-based strategy game that takes place in China during the collapse of the Han Dynasty and the subsequent era of civil war from 180-260 AD. The game is based on a 17th century fictionalized novel of the era by a guy named Luo Guanzhong and the book is considered one of the four most important pieces of Chinese literature. The game takes place on a large hexagonal map filled with cities. Warlords control each of the cities, which serve as the main means of gaining resources needed to field soldiers. Each warlord has subordinate officers (most of whom existed in actual history!) with stats that affect the output of your cities and their results in battle. The goal of the game is to conquer all of the cities and eliminate all enemies.
Battles are the most important and fun part of Romance of the Three Kingdoms 11. All of the city micromanagement is just a prelude to the battles, which take place on the same map that the rest of the game does, unlike in the rest of the series. Because battles and domestic gameplay take place on the same map, you have a much wider array of tactical options, some of which I hope to display! Here's a picture of what an average battle might look like.
Two allied warlords, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan, decided to attack another warlord, Liu Yu, at the same time. Liu Yu's fucked!
This is also my first Let's Play. I've never done one before so tell me if I'm doing something wrong.
The game comes with a number of scenarios that span the course of the period. I've chosen the second scenario, "Dong Zhuo's Tyranny", because it has the largest number of warlords and the most even distribution of power. There are clear winners and losers, but overall the playing field is much more even. Let's take a look at the current map of China.
In 189 AD, the Han Dynasty was recovering from a massive revolt called the Yellow Turban Rebellion, which was the largest rebellion in history. The war left China fragmented and diminished the authority of the emperor. Sensing the emperor's weakness, Dong Zhuo, a rugged general from the west, marched on the capital, replaced the emperor with one of his choosing and appointed himself prime minister. This massive violation of the law upset many of the regional rulers, who assembled a coalition, convened by Cao Cao and led by Yuan Shao, to depose Dong Zhuo and hopefully restore order to China.
China is currently divided among a number of petty warlords. I haven't chosen who I want to play as yet, so I'm going to let you all decide. I'd like to play as someone obscure and difficult because I'm very good at this game and I want a challenge, but we'll see! Let's take a look at some of these crazy customers!
Cao Cao is one of the most important and well-known figures of the Three Kingdoms period. A pragmatic schemer, his territory was the foundation for the Cao Wei kingdom, one of the titular Three Kingdoms, and his son Cao Pi was its first emperor.
He is probably the best dude in the game and he starts with a tremendous amount of very good characters. Despite his proximity to Dong Zhuo, I'd say playing as Cao Cao is the easiest choice for this (and almost all!) scenarios.
Liu Bei is the founder of the Shu Han kingdom, another of the Three Kingdoms, and is the chief protagonist of Luo Guanzhong's novel. Beginning as a humble shoe vendor, Liu Bei and his sworn brothers Zhang Fei and Guan Yu climb their way to the top by exploiting connections, stabbing allies in the back and pretending to be good people.
Liu Bei starts out with very few officers and is surrounded by people who are mostly stronger than him. However, his officers are extremely good, some of the best in the game, and it's not too hard to catch up and become a regional power.
Sun Jian was a skilled general, governor of Chang Sha for a short period of time and the father of the founder of the last of the Three Kingdoms, Sun Quan. He and his troops capture Luo Yang, the seat of Dong Zhuo's power, and force him to flee west to Chang An. Historically, he was a vassal to Yuan Shu, but because of his tremendous importance I guess they decided to make him independent.
Sun Jian starts out far away from everyone else and with a lot of very good officers. A game as him would be really boring because nobody is near him and he almost always becomes the last big threat you face.
Dong Zhuo is a general from the western regions of China who captured the emperor and assumed authority of the Han Dynasty. A group of lords form a coalition to capture him and restore authority to the emperor, but in the end they fail. He ultimately meets his end when his adopted son, Lu Bu, assassinates him.
Dong Zhuo starts off with the most land, the most soldiers and a lot of very good officers. Almost everybody in the game is out to get him, though. If you want me to play as him, the beginning might be tricky but once I get everything together it will be real easy.
Yuan Shao is a nobleman and the leader of the coalition against Dong Zhuo. After the coalition disintegrates, Yuan Shao consolidates power in the north by conquering his neighbors Han Fu and Gongsun Zan. He ultimately loses a major battle, Guandu, to Cao Cao and dies in shame. His sons split up his lands and are gradually defeated by Cao Cao.
Yuan Shao is another very easy warlord to play as. He starts out with a lot of very competent officers in an area where there aren't many people who can resist him.
Gongsun Zan was a pretty huge turd in actual history. He was an extremely competent but cruel general who was brought to Bei Ping to quell the revolts of a nomadic Turkic warlord named Qiu Li Ju. After he accomplished his goal, his attentions turned to expansion. He started with Liu Yu, his immediate superior, and then Han Fu and Yuan Shao. He met his match with Yuan Shao and his lands were conquered and absorbed.
Gongsun Zan is moderately difficult to play. Most of his officers are mediocre, but he's pretty good and it's pretty easy for him to expand. He also starts with level 3 horse tech, which is one of the best in the game.
Gongsun Du was a general who was assigned by Dong Zhuo to conquer Korea. He managed to capture a large portion of Korea and gained a strong foothold for his family there. His grandson, Gongsun Yuan, ultimately decided to declare himself king of Yan, infuriating the emperor of Wei and ending the Gongsun family's reign over the Liaodong peninsula and Korea.
Gongsun Du is one of the hardest guys in the game to play as, but he's also one of the most fun. He is not a member of the alliance against Dong Zhuo, so everyone will attack him right off the bat. He also has very few officers and they're all pretty lame. This might be pretty fun. No idea why his stats are so low, because he straight up conquered Korea.
Yuan Shu was Yuan Shao's half brother and a major power player in the 190s. He was also a very power-hungry guy and, in his hubris, declared himself Emperor of Chen. This immediately turned everyone against him and he was killed by Lu Bu, Dong Zhuo's adopted son.
Yuan Shu might be pretty fun to play as. He starts out right next to Dong Zhuo and usually gets conquered fairly soon. Although he starts out with a lot of guys, most of them aren't too great. This could be interesting!
Dong Zhuo realized he wasn't a popular guy when he declared himself prime minister. In order to curry favor with scholars, most of whom rejected him, he decided to appoint a number of scholars to positions of power. Han Fu was one of these scholars and Dong Zhuo's plan immediately backfired. Han Fu joined the coalition against Dong Zhuo and fought against him. After the coalition fell apart, his territory was conquered by Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan. He fled for his life and eventually committed suicide.
Han Fu himself is pretty awful, but he has a handful of pretty good officers. He also starts in a great city. He might be pretty fun to play as.
Kong Rong was another of the lords to join the coalition against Dong Zhuo. He was a scholar, not a warrior, and eventually submitted to Cao Cao, who executed him for badmouthing him. This was probably just an excuse; the two never got along.
Kong Rong starts out with only a few officers, although one of them is very good. He's in an area far from Dong Zhuo and is a member of the coalition, so he can expand at his leisure. He might be interesting to play as.
Like Han Fu, Kong Zhou was one of the scholars appointed by Dong Zhuo. He also joined the coalition. There's not too much to say - there aren't many records about him and he was eventually lost in the turmoil of the era.
Kong Zhou starts with only one other officer and neither he nor his other officer are great. He doesn't start near anyone else, but his lack of personnel might make him one of the hardest people to play as. This could be really, really fun.
Liu Biao was a scholar and politician who governed the Jing province. His subordinates Huang Zu and Kuai Liang killed Sun Jian when Sun Jian was assaulting one of Liu's cities. Liu Biao was said to be indecisive because he didn't take advantage of a number of opportunities, but I don't know if that's necessarily true. For a period of almost 10 years, he had to deal with a major revolt led by a guy named Zhang Xian, who, for some reason isn't in the game. When Liu Biao died of old age, his son surrendered his lands to Cao Cao.
Liu Biao starts with two cities and a lot of personnel. Most of them, however, aren't that great and he's not a member of the coalition, making him an easy target. It would still probably be an easy game though.
Liu Dai is the governor of Yan and is a member of the coalition against Dong Zhuo. He refused to send Sun Jian supplies after he captured Luo Yang from Dong Zhuo. He killed a lot of his neighbors and was eventually killed by a remnant of the Yellow Turbans.
Liu Dai is a member of the coalition but he starts pretty close to Dong Zhuo, making him susceptible to attack. He also has few officers, all of whom are fairly mediocre (and were actually independent lords, but I guess they decided to make them his subordinates?). He's probably pretty difficult to play as, but he could be fun too.
Liu Yan was the governor of the Yi province during the Yellow Turban Rebellion but transferred positions to remote Cheng Du in southwestern China when he sensed the oncoming turmoil. He died in 194 and was succeeded by his son Liu Zhang. Liu Zhang gets kind of a bad rap because he surrendered his territory to Liu Bei, but he was a kind and generous man who thought first of his people. I guess those aren't empire-building traits though.
Liu Yan starts with the most territory after Dong Zhuo, but he's not a member of the coalition and starts with relatively few officers and soldiers. The first few years are pretty tough for him because it's all about building up resources. It takes a few years to catch up, but once he does he becomes pretty fun. Fairly challenging despite his initial size.
Liu Yu was a really smart, humble and generous lord of the You province in northern China. He assigned Gongsun Zan to crush the nomadic warlord Qiu Li Ju's rebellion, but he ultimately convinced Qiu Li Ju not only to surrender, but to work for him. He was a relative of the emperor and refused multiple offers from Yuan Shao to become the new emperor if the coalition was successful. This was ultimately his undoing, and Gongsun Zan killed him for conspiring to become the emperor, even though he refused the position many times.
Liu Yu is probably the hardest warlord to play as. He's not in the coalition and he's surrounded by people who are, making him their number one target. His officers are all mediocre and he usually dies within the first few months. Very difficult but it can be very fun.
Ma Teng is a pretty neat guy. In 184, the Yuezhi, a group of Indo-Europeans living in western China, took advantage of the Yellow Turban Rebellion and decided to revolt. Ma Teng was one of many Han forces under Dong Zhuo sent in to quell the revolt. He decided, however, to join the revolt and together with Han Sui, Bei Gong Boyou, Song Jian and many others overthrew the Han in Liang and conquered it for themselves. He was also the father of Ma Chao, one of Shu Han's great generals.
Ma Teng starts with a lot of really good military officers, but has very little domestic ability and is hindered greatly by this in the beginning. He's also boxed in completely by Dong Zhuo. His membership in the coalition doesn't matter much because none of the other coalition members are even near him. The beginning can be very precarious, but also pretty fun.
According to Luo Guanzhong's novel, Tao Qian was a kindly old man who graciously bestowed Liu Bei his governorship after his death. In reality, he was a cruel and self-serving dick who exploited the peasant population and tried to manipulate his way to the top. He died in 194.
Tao Qian starts with two cities and is a member of the coalition. The area to his south is unclaimed, making it easy for him to expand, and he starts with a lot of guys. A game as Tao Qian would probably be pretty easy and uninteresting.
Zhang Lu is another really interesting guy. Zhang Lu's mother kept bothering the prefect of Cheng Du, Liu Yan, so Liu Yan appointed Zhang Lu as the prefect of Hanzhong to get her out of his hair. He ruled autonomously for nearly 20 years and was fairly humane as far as ancient warlords go. He built roads and rest stops for peasants and promoted Taoism among the general population. Luo Guanzhong's novel makes him out to be power-hungry, coveting gold and titles, but actually he refused gold and the offer of kingship. Luo Guanzhong made a lot of stuff up I guess.
Zhang Lu starts out with very few officers and isn't a member of the coalition. He's sandwiched between Liu Yan and Dong Zhuo, two much more powerful enemies. He might be tricky but fun to play as.
Dong Zhuo managed to entice Lu Bu, a great warrior and vassal of Ding Yuan, governor of Bing, to defect and join him. Lu Bu not only defected, but killed Ding Yuan. Zhang Yang took over the governorship of Bing and joined the coalition against Dong Zhuo. He was eventually murdered by one of his own subordinates, Yang Chou.
Zhang Yang is a member of the coalition but only has a few officers and they're almost exclusively terrible. He starts out next to Liu Yu, who isn't a member of the coalition and is an easy target. He could be a lot of fun to play as.
SO!
Those are our options. It's up to you to decide who I play as. I'm a very experienced player and I'd like a challenge. If you guys would like, I could talk a little bit more in-depth about our choices and what makes each one good and bad. I also know a lot about the period and if you guys have any questions, definitely ask. My plan is to talk quite a bit about the actual history during the course of this LP. I can't wait to get started on my first LP - hope this goes well.
