Super Sangokushi II (widely known as Romance of the Three Kingdoms II) is a grand strategy game released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) in 1991 by Koei. Set during the turbulent collapse of the Han Dynasty, the game challenges you to take on the role of a historical warlordโor create your ownโto manage resources, diplomacy, and military campaigns with the ultimate goal of reuniting China.
How to Play
Your objective is to unify all provinces under your banner. The gameplay is heavily menu-driven, requiring you to manage your territories each month by assigning tasks to your generals, such as developing agriculture, recruiting troops, or conducting espionage. Battles take place on a tactical grid where terrain influences combat effectiveness. Navigate the game’s intricate menus using the D-pad, confirm choices with the A button, and cancel with the B button. When playing in the browser, the SNES D-pad is typically mapped to the arrow keys, A and B to the Z and X keys, and Start and Select to Enter and Shift.
Tips
- Secure General Loyalty: Constantly monitor and reward your generals with gold or special items. Rival warlords will actively try to bribe your most capable commanders to switch sides.
- Balance the Economy: Avoid recruiting a massive army if your provinces cannot produce enough food. Soldiers require rice, and armies without supplies will suffer plummeting morale and desertion.
- Utilize Terrain: During tactical battles, moving units into advantageous terrain like forests or mountains can significantly improve their defensive capabilities against enemy attacks.
