Official Fact Sheet:
Dragon Throne: Battle of Red Cliffs is a real-time management/strategy game
that transports players back in time to one of the most famous and turbulent
periods of Chinese history. Following the collapse of the Chinese Empire –
at the end of the Han Dynasty – war and opposition divided China into three
kingdoms – Shu, Wei and Wu, led by the warlords Liu Bei, Cao Cao and Sun
Quan. Although this tumultuous period lasted less than 100 years, it was so
full of rivalry and epic conflict that it still remains one of the most
celebrated eras in Chinese history!
- Players take on the role of one of three warlords. They must lead their
kingdom by building their own regime, develop new technologies, establish
strategic alliances and create powerful armies in an attempt to control the
three kingdoms and reunify the nation. - Features to look for are a unique multi-map system that allows players to
switch map windows to keep an eye on the battlefield or on the overall
mission; detailed graphics and animation; management policies related to
tactics, such as Domestic Policy, Diplomacy, Sacrifice, Science and Trade; a
special profession transfer system that allows players to change
professions, for example laborer to sergeant back to laborer; an extensive
tech tree that is composed of 100 items of technology extracted directly
from the social reality of the Three Kingdoms; a realistic battle system and
multiplayer over LAN and Internet.
