Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIV announced for Switch
Posted on August 24, 2020 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch
Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIV is coming to Switch, Koei Tecmo has announced. It will be released in conjunction with the “Diplomacy & Strategy Expansion Pack”.
Although Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIV has released on other platforms previously, this is its first appearance on Switch. The extra pack also “introduces for the first time in the series the ability to trade with Eurasia as well as new strategies that change depending on how the territories unfold, among other features”.
Here’s some additional information and announcement video:
The Diplomacy and Strategy Expansion Pack is loaded with new possibilities, including trade with great Eurasian empires — including Rome and India — allowing for even broader strategies to unfold on a path to unify China. But that’s not all, as the expansion pack also introduces cities of foreign forces onto the map. Apart from conflicts in the central area, armies will now need to deal with intensified border clashes, upping the stakes in every skirmish.
In addition, new geographical advantages will be assigned to each province, so the strategies gamers will be able to choose from will vary dramatically depending on which provinces are conquered. For example: Conquering Qing Province expands the area you conquer, while conquering Yo Province allows you to open up trade with the nomadic tribe of the region, making the order of which province you conquer first now vitally important.
New officer characteristics and special tactics have also been added, along with new buildings for specific topography, a calendar that enables you to reflect on previous activities in the game, and an all-new campaign entitled “War Chronicles Mode.”
Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIV is planned for release in early 2021 in North America and Europe. The Japanese release date is set for December 10.
