About

Dragon Throne: Battle of Red Cliff is a realtime strategy game set in the Three Kingdoms period of Chinese history. The game covers the 15 year period around the Battle of Red Cliffs in 208 AD, focusing on the key protagonists Cao Cao, Lu Bei and Sun Quan.

Dragon Throne follows the gameplay template set out by realtime strategy standards like the Age of Empires series. Notable features include an experience system for all units and skills-based advancement for hero units, support for diplomacy and trade, a multiple map system and six resources to harvest.

The game features an isometric 2-D perspective with historically authentic graphics and subtitled Mandarin Chinese voice-acting. In addition to the single-player campaign, Dragon Throne supports 2-8 player LAN and 2-4 player internet modes.

Dragon Throne is the sequel to 2001's Three Kingdoms: Fate of the Dragon.
