In the year 190 AD, chaos has taken hold as factions vie for power in East Asia history. In "Three Kingdoms: Grand Strategy," you can step into this tumultuous time and rule one of the 64 factions. With a choice of 1,788 officers, you will develop cities, recruit officers, and raise armies. Use diplomacy and stratagems to establish a new dynasty while navigating a world filled with mystery.

The game features a unique mechanic called "one turn one month gameplay." This means every turn moves the world forward by one month. As you play, you will develop agriculture, commerce, public order, and defenses to manage your expanding realm. You can appoint officers to 19 court officer positions, using bulk management tools that help you rule over hundreds of castles with ease.

"Three Kingdoms: Grand Strategy" offers six historical scenarios, each taking you through key events from 190 to 234 AD. From the coalition against Dong Zhuo to the Wuzhang Plains battle, the borders, factions, and officers change with each era. You can choose to follow history or rewrite it as you see fit.

Your officers will grow as the game progresses, forming relationships and raising the next generation of officers. You can recruit enemy officers, maintain loyalty, and prepare for cases of betrayal as you guide your faction.

The game offers six ways to fight. Engage in real-time land battles that require skillful unit and formation management. You can also challenge other officers in one-on-one officer duels or go on action-based hunts in dungeons and towers. There are naval sieges, Roguelite corrupted zones, and even card-based boss battles in the Phantom Realm to keep the combat diverse and exciting.

There is a mysterious Dimensional Gate that transports you to the Otherworld, where you can discover and capture 230 mythical beasts. You can hatch mythical eggs, raise these creatures, and enchant items to help in your battles. But beware: if you ignore the growing corruption, it may spread to your lands.
