Sangokushi - Game Boy Ban 2 (Japan) (GBC)

Sangokushi - Game Boy Ban 2 is a deep historical simulation strategy game that places players in the role of a warlord during China's tumultuous Three Kingdoms period. The primary objective is to unify the entire country under your rule.

Gameplay in Sangokushi - Game Boy Ban 2 is turn-based. Each turn, players have the opportunity to perform various actions to manage and develop their kingdom. Key activities include:

• Internal Development: Players need to invest in agriculture and commerce to increase income and food supplies. This is crucial for maintaining armies and developing cities. Additionally, managing population and the loyalty of officials is essential.
• Military Management: Recruiting soldiers, training troops, and equipping them with weapons are vital tasks. Players must carefully balance military strength with financial capability. When war breaks out, players will command their armies on a strategic map, moving units and issuing commands to attack enemy cities. Battles are typically resolved based on army strength statistics and the strategies of the commanding officers.
• Officer Recruitment and Management: Officers play an extremely critical role. Each officer has unique stats in military, intelligence, politics, and charm, which affect the effectiveness of actions. Players can search for, recruit talented generals, or even persuade enemy officers to defect. Maintaining their loyalty is key.
• Diplomacy: Players can establish alliances with other warlords to counter common enemies, or break existing alliances. Diplomacy also involves sending envoys to bribe, intimidate, or negotiate.
• War and Conquest: When strong enough, players will launch military campaigns to capture enemy cities and territories. Winning battles and seizing cities will expand your power and resources.

Despite being a Game Boy Color version, Sangokushi - Game Boy Ban 2 retains the strategic depth characteristic of the Sangokushi series, with an interface optimized for the small screen. Players will have to make difficult decisions regarding resources, military, and politics to ultimately unify China and become the sole Emperor.
