Play Romance of the Three Kingdoms IV Online

Romance of the Three Kingdoms IV: Wall of Fire is Koei’s 1994 historical strategy game. Govern cities, appoint officers, conduct diplomacy and command campaigns across ancient China.

A campaign combines domestic administration with warfare. Officers have different strengths, so assigning the right person to development, recruitment, diplomacy or command is as important as choosing the next target.

Battles add tactics such as pushing or pulling enemy units, along with battlefield tools including fire and defensive works. This page covers the DOS-era game, not the later Power Up Kit rerelease on Steam.

Choose a ruler and scenario, then inspect each city’s officers, troops, supplies and economy. Stabilize vulnerable territory before committing the main force to a long campaign.

Assign officers according to their abilities and preserve strong commanders for important tasks. Recruitment and diplomacy can change the balance without an immediate battle.

In combat, check terrain, unit position and available tactics before advancing. Fire and other battlefield actions can be powerful, but poor placement can expose your own force.
