Our take on NationWar:Annals
Its defining structure is the fusion of national administration and hands-on RTS battles: political, economic, technological, and diplomatic decisions lead into army construction and direct battlefield control.
What is NationWar:Annals?
NationWar:Annals combines grand strategy with real-time combat in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods.
Players choose one of 9 major countries or manage a smaller state while pursuing national unification across a large China map with mountains and rivers. The campaign includes government, diplomacy, economy, trade, technology, ideology, military, personnel, and policy systems.
