Our take on Three Kingdoms : Alias
The hidden identities and randomized drafts make officer management less predictable, but they also give up the control of choosing a known roster from the outset. Players who want to plan around specific officers may have to adapt to whoever appears in a run.
What is Three Kingdoms : Alias?
This turn-based Three Kingdoms strategy game covers personnel, warfare, governance, diplomacy, espionage and duels.
Officers appear under aliases, so their real names, stats and loyalty are concealed until investigation reveals them. Players recruit and assign officers without knowing their identities, creating the risk of putting an unsuitable person in a role or missing a capable one. Each run begins in a random city with a random officer draft, changing the available personnel and starting conditions. The selection can include officers who do not fit the player's faction or a draft lacking civil officers. Randomized starts and hidden identities make identifying talent and allocating officers central to each game.
