Dragon Throne: Battle of Red Cliffs

Strategy and Wargaming Game from Strategy First, by Object Software

Historically based RTS. It is set in third century China during a battle for the throne. The scenarios of the campaign are tied together with a strong story. There is a cast of well-realized characters, some of which must be preserved in order to progress.

The gameplay involves resource management, creating and developing units, and combat. You can designate many different roles to the basic unit, the laborer. There are four basic resources (grain, raw meat, wood and iron ore), plus two refined resources (wine and prepared food). The game is played on an isometric landscape and the control interface is effective. The game's graphics are generally good.
