There are four different types of cities: Agriculture, Commerce, Normal City and Big City. The battles in Romance of the Three Kingdoms XII are real-time, but can be paused at any minute to give orders or use special abilities. The battle phase is where you put all your acquired officers, troops, siege weapons and researches into action in hopes of either gaining new territory or not lose any territory. In the managing phase you build buildings in your cities through which you gain money, food, fame and troops, or through which you can build up your defense, increase your army’s strength, defense, range and speed and research special plans and build siege weapons. The gameplay basically consists of two phases the managing phase and the battle phase.

The only pro for this game is that it has better graphics than the previous series, that's all. The battle system is ok, but still, I miss the option of challenging the opponent officer to a duel and also the option of using several tactics like setting fire, shooting fire arrows, throwing boulders, taunt, perturb, misinform, ambush, blunder, etc, like in RoTK XI. This is ridiculous, because I don t think there is any ruler that has to go door to door to beg for loyalty of his subject. You can't send them gift or gold just by command, you have to travel to their home YOURSELF. If you are a ruller, you have to go visit every single of your officer one by one if you want to increase their loyalty. Like in history when some notorious general is given a new post, his long serving soldiers or elite troops will be brought as well to the new post. In the reality, when a troops won a battle, sometimes they are station there as the permanent troops of that city.
The idea of every city has it's own troops type that you can deploy upon research, is not a bad idea, but then to make the troops not transferable to other city is a huge mistake. I am very sorry to say RoTK XIII is a failure for me.

I am a die hard RoTK fan, been playing this series since the RoTK II back in the 80's. Of course, like all Romance of the Three Kingdom games that feature many of the characters from the novels, in XIII, there are over 700 historical characters including mainstay fan-favorites like Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Zhao Yun, and more if you're like us though, you'd create your own unique character and build up your own version of the Middle Kingdom. Hero mode allows players to create their own destiny within this pivotal time, and gives them the chance to play out an alternate path of history to their choosing. With already a huge wealth of content, even if a player sticks to the default Campaign mode, a mode where players follow the events of the novel, with Hero mode, replayability becomes just as inviting as all the aforementioned features. Diplomacy and intrigue also offer a multitude of choices, with historical characters retaining their quirks and personalities, and can be facilitated through bribery, coercion, flattery, and more. In a macro and micro sense, cites can be built and developed, alliances maintained or betrayed, and armies - that which features a wide variety spanning from infantry, cavalry, artillery, and even navy - can be done via conscription or recruitment.
Regardless of their familiarity with the source material, any fan of the strategy genre will appreciate the vast nuances in Koei Tecmo's historical opus a challenging and rewarding mix of historically accurate warfare and deep gameplay, players will find themselves blissfully taken aback by all the options available in this timeless tale come game.
