Three Kingdoms: The Last Warlord

Three Kingdoms: The Last Warlord is a turn-based strategy game in which you rule a country during the Three Kingdoms era. It depicts a world shaped by Chinese perspectives on the period, with city terrain, officers’ abilities and the timing and allocation of people and resources all affecting your rule and military campaigns.

Officers and government

The game includes over 1,300 officers, both historical and fictional. Their portraits use classic line drawing and tapestry painting in the style of Three Kingdoms picture-story books, with an archaic design rooted in traditional Chinese art. More than 300 officers have individual features that distinguish them, and the relationship system changes dynamically: you can arrange marriages and sworn bonds among your officers.

Basic Affairs, Personnel, Search and Research use a laid-back management system that reduces the amount of direct operation. In role-play mode, you manage the capital and the country’s governance, while other cities can be handled automatically or remotely through Policy.

Cities and development

Nearly 60 cities have more than 200 real specialties and features. You can develop the land through a technology system, and collect more than 500 historical treasures.

Armies and battles

The army system has three basic unit types and about 20 unique units, including Elite Rangers, Tiger Cavalry, Elite Crossbowmen and Nan Man War Elephants. Battles use turn-based strategic organization, with climate, terrain and elevation affecting the importance of timing and location.

Field battles and sieges are separate battle types. Sieges use Battering Rams, Trebuchets and Siege Towers, while defenders can deploy Catapults, Ballistae and Spear Carts.

Create scenarios

An internal editor lets you create scenarios, make new officers and edit the new ruler.
