Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIII: Fame and Strategy Expansion
Pack introduces new mechanics to the series that allow for
greater strategic possibilities. One of these additions is the
Fame System, wherein players work towards receiving bonuses for
their characters by completing achievements, which range from
battlefield objectives to peacefully resolving disputes. Players
can also earn a Prestige title for their character through the
Fame System, which will unlock new actions based on their
Prestige level and ultimately shape life as an officer.
Also arriving with the new expansion is the War Council, which
is held before engaging in battle. With this feature Generals
are able to choose which Officers will follow them into combat
and which strategies they will apply to outsmart their opponent.
Furthermore, players will now be able to create their own
scenarios with the Event Editor. This tool allows unique
narratives to be crafted within second century China and offers
full control over when Events take place, which officers are
affected and whether there will be multiple outcomes.
On top of these engaging gameplay elements, players will be able
to utilize a wide range of strategic options and kinds of
warfare from the base Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIII game.
Players can partake in open field, narrow pass and naval
battles, duels, or exchange weaponry for words and enter
debates. Each battle is brought to life with stunning detail
alongside environments that provide better views of the field
and support quick and efficient changes to battle strategy.
Outside of combat, the Civic Development system provides the
option of developing Commerce, Farming and Culture, which can
give a variety of boosts to an army’s loyalty and strength.
Finally, securing allies and forming strong relationships
through the Bond system is key to receiving aid in tight
situations, allowing the tides of battle to be turned in the
player’s favor.
