Bandit Kings of Ancient China

The game is a military strategy game, like most of Koei’s games, but instead of conquering a country, the goal is to depose the despotic ruler of China.

You start out lowly, and have to work your way up by conquering smaller prefectures, forming alliances, and fighting small battles. You have to earn the right to attack Gao Qiu’s home prefecture, though- he is off limits until you are powerful.
