Sangokushi IX is a part of Sangokushi series, produced by Koei. It was originally released in Japan 2003, and was localized and released in the United States in 2004.
[edit] Gameplay
The game is set in the time period and area of the book Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Unlike its two immediate predecessors, Sangokushi IX always casts the player as a ruler. The player's goal is to bring every city on the map under his or her command; this is achieved by hiring other historical figures from the book, referred to as officers, and using them to cultivate cities, recruit armies, and fight or plot against enemy forces. The game mechanics are basically similar to those in Sangokushi IV, although somewhat increased in complexity.
