This management is quite simple on a strategic level – certainly more so than a game like Europa Universalis or Koei’s own Romance of the Three Kingdoms franchise, but you’ll nevertheless need to think carefully to come up with a strategy that will keep units and leaders happy, while building the economy so you’re not overwhelmed by better equipped opponents, and developing strategic alliances so you’re not invaded by multiple fronts at once. Or it could be recruiting and training more soldiers, or launching an invasion of another territory. It could be building facilities in town to upgrade the fighting capacities of units, or it could be engaging in espionage against an opponent. Each month of in-game time you can select one action for the ruler to undertake. This expanded focus breaks the game into two sections for half the game you’ll be wading through menus. Players take on the role of a ruler of a territory (or even a landless general with ambitions of conquest), and need to extend their empire outwards by building alliances, managing troop numbers and officer loyalty, and, of course, through conquest. What distinguishes the Empires games is the light empire management mechanics that are overlaid on top of the on-field action. We can expect it to be the last “Dynasty Warriors 8” release, and it takes things out with a bang.
These games generally come last in a release cycle for the Warriors franchise (and come immediately before the next numbered game in the series), and that trend would also seem to be the case with Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires. Of all the Dynasty Warriors games, the Empires series is the most complex and involved, and is also the least renowned.
