What it is
Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIV is a strategy game from Koei about conquering territory and unifying China. Its map depicts 46 cities and about 340 regions, with territorial control shown through colors. Players extend their holdings and manage the front line, where keeping troops connected to a city through supply lines is important. When that connection is broken, troops lose supplies and become weakened and disordered. Administration is organized through a chart: adding retained officers brings different commands and effects, allowing players to shape their governing structure. The game is listed on Steam as a simulation for Windows, with single-player play, achievements, trading cards, Steam Cloud and Family Sharing. KOEI TECMO GAMES CO., LTD. is the publisher. The listed release date is Jan 15, 2020. Its focus is on territorial control, military logistics and administrative choices across a large map.
