Romance of the Three Kingdoms II NES is Koei's turn-based strategy sequel, released in North America in September 1991. You lead one of the warlords fighting to unify China between AD 189 and AD 220. This listing is the loose cartridge only, with no box or manual.
Like the first game, the sequel draws on the classic Chinese novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The map is divided into 41 provinces, and the cast includes more than 200 unique characters. Every one of them has personal ratings that shape what they are good at.
You pick one of six starting scenarios. They range from AD 189, when Dong Zhuo seizes the capital Luoyang, to AD 220, when the kingdoms of Wei, Wu, and Shu rise. Your starting position, your rivals, and the officers on hand all depend on the scenario you choose.
Turns are spent running provinces and planning campaigns. You raise the land value of your provinces, keep your officers loyal, and go to war with rival rulers. Officers can also duel, and the results depend on their personal ratings.
The two NES games side by side:
The sequel also adds three new systems:
Every character has three ratings, each scored from 10 to 100:
These numbers decide how well an officer handles tasks such as dueling and raising a province's land value. An adviser with an Intelligence of 100 always predicts the outcome of a plan correctly, so finding one early gives you reliable guidance for the rest of the campaign.
Start with a scenario that gives your ruler a strong base and loyal officers. Keep your reputation high so officers stay with you. Use treasures and special items to raise the stats of your key officers. Check each officer's three ratings before assigning work, since the numbers decide how well a task goes. Before major moves, ask your best adviser for a prediction.
