NEWS | Forge Alliances or Destabilise Them, the Choice is yours in Romance of Three Kingdoms XIV
BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN, January 20, 2020 - Romance of Three Kingdoms XIV (RTK14) is adding more ways to achieve victory with the ability to develop diplomatic relations with foreign units and forge alliances or overthrow them through schemes.
Through ‘Goodwill’ with another army can be improved through gifts such as gold, supplies, or specialty goods - and as goodwill increases, relations will improve with a possibility of forming an alliance.
This prevents the player from attacking their new partners or conquering their territory but at the same time allows them to maintain their supply lines while passing through ally territory.
Allies can also assist in attacking opponents and if the alliance is no longer working or useful, it can also be annulled allowing the forces to be separated.
Player can also scheme their way to victory with a few well place "Plots" to weaken an enemy force. This can be done through five types of schemes: Hidden Poison, Estrange, Placation, Unattended Home and Dual Destruction – allowing different strategies to be used depending on the situation at hand.
- Hidden Poison lowers the development and public order of the targeted Force, and can cause bandits from foreign tribes to appear.
- Estrange lowers the loyalty of the target officer through bad rumors about their ruler.
- Placation targets the people of free areas, or areas under the control of other forces, in order to gain control of the area core.
- Unattended Home incites a viceroy or governor into leaving their current Force and going it along.
- Dual Destruction spreads damaging rumors about one Force within the territory of another.
The success of any of these schemes can have a massive impact on the overall battle situation, though failure can cause relations with the affected force to grow considerably worse.
Increasing relations with foreign units is also important as only non-enemy units can be forced to surrender. Using the ‘Foreign’ function, players can request the return of captured officers as well as use the Order Surrender command. Careful planning and preparation are required to ensure that a surrender is successful.
