About Chaos of Three Kingdoms

"Chaos of Three Kingdoms" is a role-playing strategy game, the background is based on the turbulent period of the late Eastern Han Dynasty in 194 AD. Players will play a character in the troubled times, which can be a prince, a civil official or a general under the power of a prince, or a character in the wild

This game supports the use of keyboard and mouse to play the game, and the game operation mode is mainly a semi-turn-based method

Currently, the game includes the following features and functions:

Over a thousand characters from the late Eastern Han era

From warlords and famous generals to scholars, strategists, wanderers, and hidden talents, countless historical figures will appear, act, serve, flee, ally, betray, or rise in their own way.

  • A vast map of the Thirteen Provinces and nearly 120 counties Inspired by the administrative geography of the late Eastern Han, the world map includes cities, passes, population, conscription pools, refugees, treasuries, disasters, and shifting borders.
  • Not just a conquest game, but a life in troubled times Play as a ruler, governor, officer, civil official, military commander, or even an unaffiliated wanderer. Unite the realm, serve a lord, govern a commandery, cultivate relationships, visit notable figures, or carve out your own path.
  • A semi-turn-based world map where the realm keeps moving Factions pursue their own strategies, diplomacy shifts, armies mobilize, supplies are transported, talents are recruited, cities develop, disasters strike, and every campaign can unfold differently.
  • Deep city governance Cities are more than dots on a map. Manage taxes, food, public order, conscription, refugees, talent selection, disasters, military reserves, and logistics. A border city’s survival may depend on years of careful preparation.
  • Layered warfare beyond simple battles War involves movement, scouting, encirclement, retreat, supply, key positions, visibility, weather, terrain, troop strength, and commander ability. Victory is often decided before the armies clash.
  • Tactical battles across varied terrain Fight in cities, outer walls, open fields, and other battlefield environments. Cavalry charges, infantry assaults, crossbow fire, commander actions, siege maneuvers, and battlefield tactics all shape the outcome.
  • Formations, tactics, and battlefield commands Choose formations and orders based on terrain, troop types, and commander strengths. A well-timed maneuver, tactic, or defensive stance can let an inferior force overturn the odds.
  • Characters with relationships, loyalty, and personal stories Visits, friendships, mentorship, recruitment, captivity, surrender, betrayal, and shifting loyalty make characters feel like people rather than stat blocks. Your choices reshape both relationships and the political landscape.
  • Role-playing events and mini-games Duel, debate, pitch-pot, visit, investigate, and encounter unexpected events. Your fate can change through martial skill, wit, reputation, favors, and opportunity, not only through conquest.
