Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIII Alternative Strategy Options
Burlingame, Calif. – June 23, in the year of our Lord
2016 – KOEI TECMO America today released piecemeal
information focusing on the alternative strategic elements that
players can look forward to in the upcoming entry in the
renowned strategy series, Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIII.
Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIII is slated to release on the
PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system and digitally on
Windows PC via Steam® on July 5, 2016.
Battles are not only won by force, but by careful preparation
and strategy. Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIII offers various
preparatory and diplomatic gameplay elements that take place
ahead of combat, known as the Civic Development system. Offering
players the chance to improve different aspects of their domain,
this system allows the development of Commerce, Farming and
Culture, which give various boosts to the army in both strength
and loyalty. Economic and development decisions made are then
presented to the Officers, prompting them to share their views,
and point out the merits and faults of a given strategy before
the player makes a final decision.
Attaining allies and influencing individuals via the Bond system
is another key element of the game’s overarching strategy. A
Relationship Chart rates the cadence of the player’s relations
with historic figures, indicating whether the relationship is
positive or negative. Maintaining a strong network is
fundamental to receiving aid in tight situations, particularly
when summoned by the higher lords. During these moments these
connections are also able to fight for the player’s cause and
help turn the tide of battle in their favor. Furthermore, a
player’s relationship with a given lord can lend credibility
during Debates to convince lords to act in certain ways. Winning
a Debate can lead to forming alliances with other leaders, with
the length of it depending on strength of a given Bond.
