Game Features:
搜索地图，开发人口
武将智力、武力达85以上可进行地图搜索，开发人口后可增加人口，增加金钱，预备兵役上限会增加，武将可以多放一些，开发到一定程度，可以达到10个以上。每年年初发钱，也可以从别的城市调兵来。人口多，金钱多，兵就多。
Search and Development
Generals whose [Intelligence] or [Martial] exceeds 85 can perform search. Development will increase population, income, recruitment pool, max generals cap (max:10). Income is allocated at the first month of each year.
I’m assuming there’s a mistake in the official intro and that – [Martial] skill allows search, while [Intelligence] allows development.
筑城防守，征兵御敌
守城时可为己方武将防御加成，通常武力相差5点以内会比较明显，受攻击时回避概率更大。
Fortifications
Adds to the defenders’ protection value. You’ll see the contrast if the [Martial] difference between the opposing generals is only five points. The defending general also gets a bonus to retreat.
文臣武将，皆有所用
武将战斗后需要在城里休息才能回复体力和技力。而派遣智力较高的文将当做太守时，武将的回复速度会更快。
Value of Civil Officers
Generals need time to recuperate their health and technique points inside a city. The higher the governor’s [Intelligence], the faster the recuperation rate will be.
兵种相克，权谋为上
游戏内设有多种兵种，且兵种互相制约。
Troop types have specific counters; Strategy is advised
There’re many troop types, each have their place in Scissors-Paper-Stone.
招降武将时需要符合历史史实，若是武将所属君主尚未战败，则该武将也无法被招降
Recruitment of captive generals is not possible if their historical [Master] has not been defeated.
注：游戏暂不支持窗口模式
Note: Game does not support windowed mode
Thoughts
TLDR: This game is light in management and light in tactics. It would do great as a flash-era free game, but not worth your time nor money. Like a grindy RPG, you constantly level up after each victory, and the path to victory is to have more Pokemons generals than your AI opponents.
City Management Phase – You may improve your city by attracting population – that’s all. You may choose to fortify your city but the benefits are unknown.
Talent Management – Keep bugging your captives till they agree to join you. (note: some may not join you until their master has been defeated)
Deployment Phase – This is where you adjust your troops, hire, and watch as a full year goes by.
Combat – Tactics matter little. Always bring more generals and more troops than your opponent. Somehow, 90% of your troops will die after each engagement, so having a greater number of generals is more important.
