While these are all really pretty standard, you don’t have to be a virtuous and kind character. Defeat Target Warrior/Base, defeat X Warriors or Capture Y bases, and keep troop strength above a certain level.
In battle it’s a little different, but still the same. The goals are pretty standard: In the Planning Phase you will likely see “Join one invasion and win,” “Complete one quest,” or “Increase happiness in one province you control.” They are varied enough so that any style of character can at least do something, or several things, depending on how you play. Merit is accumulated by accomplishing goals set out in battle, on the pre-battle screen as well as during the Planning Phase, which occurs twice a year. As time went on, I performed well in battle and gained Merit. In most of my playthroughs I started off as a free officer, wandering until I found the right ruler for me (or at least had the other characters I wanted to interact with) and applied to join them. Whether you are a grunt in the system, or the Ruler, calling all of the shots is entirely up to your play style. While I do wish there were more cutscenes that didn’t all feel the same, overall I’m pretty satisfied with what’s on offer.Īs always, the goal is to unite China under one banner. Every character has a unique weapon and style to their own, and there are a pile of customizable options (including Warhorses!). Using the DW8 Engine is also an excellent choice.
There are lots of ways to influence the flow and pace of the game, and change the course of Chinese History in your own way. In some ways, I enjoy the Empires expansions even more, because it’s not all historically accurate.
I was thrilled to see another Empires title I realize I’m probably in the minority there though! I actually did not start playing the Dynasty Warriors series (despite my love of the era, and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms series) until 4: XL. By Jason Parker ( Ragachak), Console Writer
