  • Summary: Travel back in time to one of the most important battles in Chinese history with this sequel to "Fate of the Dragon." The Battle of Red Cliffs was regarded as a great milestone in the Three Kingdoms period. In July, 208 AD, after pacifying the north, General Cao Cao mustered his troops and headed south with the intent of unifying the realm. After a series of quick victories Cao Cao had become so arrogant that he completely underestimated his rivals Sun Quan and Liu Bei, and failed to take advantage this precious opportunity to unify the realm. On the contrary, he suffered a huge defeat even though his crack forces greatly outnumbered the opposing forces. After the Battle of Red Cliffs, the division of the realm into three parts began to take shape. [Strategy First] Expand

  1. On the whole, it’s a good game that will keep RTS fans happy whilst at the same time brings enough RPG elements to keep things fresh and interesting.
  2. The game has a lot of good ideas, but falls a little flat in the execution. Strategy gamers looking for something a little different or those with an interest in the period should give the game a look, but will need to approach it with a bit of patience.
  3. Any potential excitement is sabotaged by uninspired gameplay.

    It's a realy fun game, my favorite thing is the kites that you can put your men on and fly them over a wall to attack instead of going through the gate. I also like the way you can put the men on and off of the horses and use the horses to pack supplies. Expand
