Dynasty Tactics

Dynasty Tactics (三國志戦記, Sangokushi Senki in Japan) is a strategy game developed and published by Koei for the Sony PlayStation 2.

The title is set during the Three Kingdoms era and takes place after the Yellow Turban Rebellion and Dong Zhuo's death.

The gameplay uses elements from Koei's in depth turn based system in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms series.

Turns occur on a bird's eye map of the area with color coded cities to differentiate the rulers of each section of the land.

Each ruler is assigned a capital which will serve as their base of operations; if it falls, the lord of the land will be overthrown.

From there, they can decide to check on their armies, search for civilians who will join their cause, or assign envoys to recruit men and spy on the enemy.

Like many other strategy games, battles are won when the leading enemy commander is forced to flee.

These commands vary with each job class; some are purely offensive, while others only target morale or aid allies.
