Free New Officers

Way cool that I was able to download 3 DLC's of new officers or officer portraits to use to create our own officers. Looks like the gals are wearing some modern outfits that tend to clash a bit with the historical ones but what the heck, they're fun to look at.

Yeah, I like that you can download historical officers from other periods of Chinese history. I kind of wish they had Mao Zedong and Sun Yat-sen and some recent Chinese figures too.

I often put the historical officers into their own states---like all the early Han together, all the Tang dynasty together, etc.

I also make myself and my friends into the game. Once I made Napoleon Bonaparte, for some reason.

The game is a lot of fun. I would like to see more DLC.

The game is fun, I really like the turn and hex based WEGO system and hope they'll go to other periods of Chinese history, heck even from Europe or the Middle East to model Rome or Alexander the Great. I wasn't all that impressed with the silly little dragon, a little too unhistorical for my taste. I'm still learning the basic campaign game after getting through the first 5 War Chronicle scenarios and gaining the reward officers. KOEI needs to stop beating a dead horse with the 3 Kingdoms era and move on to other historical periods.

I'm old enough to have played KOEI games on the NES. They had Liberty or Death (American Rev War), L'Empereur (Napoleon and French Rev), Genghis Khan, Uncharted Waters (age of exploration) and so many other awesome games. I wish they'd remake these and update them.

I fondly remember a KOEI game from decades ago for the PC on Napoleon's campaigns. I liked it and that's why I opted to give Romance of Three Kingdoms a try rather than the total War garbage of Three Kingdoms. I'd definitely like to see the old Napoleon game brpought back.

I really like this turn and hex based WEGO game system and hope they'll use it to model other periods of Chinese ancient history like the Qin period that's being depicted brilliantly by the Japanese anime "Kingdom". I love how we can surround units through maneuver thanks to hexes.
