This is actually not joke. Koei is actually releasing Romance of the Three Kingdoms XI for PC in the States in the summer. I might actually be inclined to double-dip and buy the PC version, just for the added convenience. The PC version also apparently has better graphics than the PS2 version. You can see the PR here.

This continues right where the other diary entry left off. You may notice that the amount of detail suffers after the first battle. I’m still exploring on how much I should talk about each move during battles. You may think the first battle is boring, so oh well… Hopefully you enjoy this.

The map of my current game of Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

As I promised, I’m going to start blogging about my gaming more. As mentioned before, the first game I’m going to blog about is The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. I never knew how long an entry could be until I started writing. I cut this one short since not that much was happening at the time (the first exciting thing that happens is at the end of the post, and for that I decided to leave a cliffhanger. )

Hopefully this post isn’t too boring or confusing. This is semi-late in the Yellow Turbans scenario. Actaully, the Yellow Turbans have already been eliminated in the game. He Jin was quite aggressive in hunting them down. Actually, as you can tell from the map, he has acquired quite a large territory. I really hope that I won’t have to take him on one day…

As for me, I’m playing as the sovereign Sun Jian. I started off with one city: Xia Pei. From their I colonized the neighboring city of Ben Hai and conquered the nearest Yellow Turban city. From there, I colonized Shou Chun and conquered two other cities, the last of which was Nan Pi, which seems like it will be the center of a lot of drama in the future. Two months worth of details follow.
