I've tried every possible initial settings but still cannot run the game. It'll show a black screen with "???13???" then auto-crash

Instead of playing in the year 207 scenario, I'd like to use Guan Ping or Zhuge Liang earlier. I remember in one earlier version of RoTK, Zhuge Liang shows up in XuZhou as a teen.

Impossible to defend or attack against Cao Cao no matter how good your army is or how big. It is just awful. Even when I outnumber Cao Cao attacking force, my army just dies. Is there a better ROTK I should be playing that is in English? Because most don't have English....

I very highly doubt it, but figured would ask. Noticed I had save from WAY back that still has the characters I created back then when I reinstalled game and was just curious if there was a way to get them into main library.

I'm on Win11 here. the game always crash after clicking start. i tried everything. need some help from you guys
